Quick Tip: Referral Fees

img

This Quick Tip will address a question posted recently: “What in earth are referral fees?!?!

What are referral fees?

Sellers pay a referral fee on each item sold. For all products, Amazon deducts the applicable referral fee percentage calculated on the total sales price. The total sales price is the total amount paid by the buyer, including the item price and any delivery or gift-wrapping charges. Fee categories are used to determine referral fee rates based on the type of product that’s being sold. You can view the fee categories here.

Where can I find the referral fees?

For the UK site you can find the applicable referral fees for each category on this help page: Referral fee schedule. On the left-hand side of this page you can find links to the referral fees for the other Amazon stores.

How can I find the referral fees on an item sold?

When you have sold an item, the following steps will outline how to review the referral fee of an item in your seller account.

  • In Seller Central, select Payments from the top left-hand corner drop down menu and Payments again.
  • On the next page, called the Payments Dashboard click the transaction view tab.
  • The Transactions View will display the account transactions within a statement period, up until the prior day's close. A transaction can be an order, a refund or an Amazon-initiated charge or credit.
  • To view the referral fee of an item, click the value of an order under the ‘Total’ column.
  • The next page will display the breakdown of the order.
  • By clicking the value next to the Commission amount, you will be able to review the referral fee for the item.

Check out the Transaction View help page for additional information.
