Does Amazon Merchant Manager charge any fees?

Generally, if we want to open a store on Amazon, we need to contact Amazon’s investment manager. Usually we contact seller support on Amazon Seller University, or we can get the contact information of the investment manager by following Amazon’s official WeChat public account.

The Merchant Manager is the salesperson of Amazon Global Store. There is no fee to register through them. You only need to pay some basic fees to Amazon, which everyone needs to pay. For example, the monthly rent for the North American site (US + Canada) is 39.99 USD. After paying this monthly rent, you can use the US site and the Canadian site. After paying the monthly rent for the European site, you can use the five sites of the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy.

What are Amazon’s fees?

1. Store monthly fee Amazon sellers are mainly divided into two types: individual sellers and professional sellers. Professional sellers have to pay a store monthly fee, for example, the fee for the North American site is $39.99/month. Individual sellers have to pay an order sales fee, which is $0.99/order. The fees for other sites are subject to the site's charges.

2. Product sales commission: Different Amazon product categories will also charge a commission of 8%-15%, depending on the category.

3. Withdrawal fee: If the seller withdraws cash, the withdrawal fee rates deducted for different withdrawal methods are also different. You can find out what the withdrawal fee rates of each receiving account are.

4. Product shipping costs Sellers who open stores on Amazon worldwide need to ship goods abroad, which will incur a shipping fee. The specific cost depends on factors such as the mode of transportation, destination, and transportation company. You can consult the logistics company about the charging standards.

5. Storage Fees For storage, you can choose Amazon FBA or a third-party overseas warehouse, which requires storage fees. FBA storage fees are divided into basic storage fees, long-term storage fees, and delivery fees. The charging standards for basic storage fees are also different. For example, in the off-season from January to September, the fee is US$24/month/cubic meter, and in the peak season from October to December, it is US$84/month/cubic meter.

Long-term storage fees refer to the fees for storage for more than 180 days. The fee for 180-365 days is 122 US dollars/month/cubic meter, and the fee for more than 365 days is 244 US dollars/month/cubic meter. The fees of third-party overseas warehouses are cheaper than FBA, and they also provide more services; you can choose the FBA transit method to save a certain amount of fees.
