Referral fees
Amazon charges a referral fee for each item sold. The amount depends on the product category. Most referral fees are between 3% and 15%.
Fulfillment fees
The cost to ship your orders depends on whether you Easy ship your orders using Amazon logistics, use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), or self-ship your orders on your own.
Other costs

Getting paid and paying fees
When you set up a seller account, you’ll provide a credit card number and a bank account. Amazon proceeds from any sales will be deposited into your bank account (pre-deducting the fees). Any additional charges not covered by seller balance will be charge on the credit card.

FBA Monthly Inventory Storage fee
Storage fees are charged for all units stored in an Amazon fulfilment centre based on calendar month and your daily average volume (measured in cubic feet). The cubic feet of any unit will be based on the unit's size as properly packaged and ready for dispatch to customers in accordance with the FBA Program Policies. Amazon will be entitled to make its own measurement of the cubic feet or weight of any packaged unit or representative sample thereof and in the event of any conflict between such measurement and information provided by the seller, Amazon's measurement will govern.
Inventory Storage fees are charged on a monthly basis and are typically charged sometime between the 7th and 15th day of the month following the month the fee applies to. For example, if you want to see the Inventory Storage fee you paid for January, refer to the February settlement report that includes the transactions from 7-15 February

Calculating Cubic Feet from Centimeters
Multiply length x width x height in centimeters to get the volume. Divide the volume by 28,316.84 cubic centimeters (30.48cm x 30.48cm x 30.48cm = 28,316.84), which is the equivalent of 1 cubic foot. Example: A Unit measuring 47cm x 12cm x 10cm divided by 28,316.84 = 0.199 cu. ft.
