1. Store monthly rent: If you sell more than 40 products on Amazon every month, it is better to register as a professional seller, with a monthly rent of $39.90. If you sell less than 40 products, you can also register as an individual seller, without the platform monthly rent, but you must pay Amazon $0.99 plus other fees for each product sold, which varies depending on the product category. It is recommended to register as a professional seller, as individual sellers have many troubles.

4. Refund Fee: If the seller refunds the customer for an order for which payment has already been received, Amazon will refund the commission you settled for the goods in the order, minus the applicable refund fee (US$5.00 or 20% of the commission, whichever is less).

5. Transaction fee: Only for media products such as books, DVDs, music and apps. You have to pay $1.80 for each item sold.

6. Amazon advertising fees: In the process of placing advertisements on Amazon, Amazon advertising adopts a pay-per-click and bidding method. The seller sets the maximum amount you are willing to settle when a consumer clicks on the advertisement.

7. First-leg cost: This refers to the cost of shipping goods from Chinese ports to Amazon warehouses. First-leg logistics methods include international express logistics, air logistics, ocean logistics, rail transportation, third-party freight forwarding overseas warehouses, etc. The first-leg logistics costs vary depending on the transportation plan, timeliness, and price.

8. FBA delivery fee: the cost of delivering goods from the Amazon warehouse in the destination country to the customer. Different product sizes, different weights, and different prices.
