A simple answer really
1) Charge more for your products so you make more profit
If 1) is not possible then
2) Choose different products with higher profit margins
You are not going to be able to change the fee model set by Amazon.
Also be aware of drop shipping, it is allowed by Amazon but you have to appear as the seller on all packaging and paperwork included in the order.

Jeez....
Drop shipping is the lowest form of all margins for selling - the plus point is you normally have to do naff all for the privilege. You don't have to buy the stock, warehouse the stock, deliver it, or sort out problems.
You are also choosing to sell on someone else's platform who make a charge for this - you have an option not to use their multi billion pound global system complete with a ready made audience of millions, and use you own website instead with traffic of a few dozen plus spammers per day.
Drop only shipping works in superhigh volumes

but drop shipping means you have little to no outlay. You dont pay for the products pay for the postage so what are you complaining about?
Either sell more products by that method or source yr own

Amazon is not the best place for dropshipping, first of all there are not that many companies that offer legit dropshipping in the UK and those have lots of sellers often engaging in penny wars. Also dropshipping is more expensive than buying products in bulk. I don't think that the problem is the fees but the competition that makes it rather hard to make a profit, especially when most legit dropshipping companies also sell wholesale and you will have to compete with sellers that are paying 20-30% less than you do.

Does it really matter how much Amazon make from each sale? It is all just part of what makes up the selling price.
Do not concern yourself with how much Amazon make, the margin you actually make is the only concern you really need to have.

Depends on your profit margins if amazon make more than you, but of course they will charge alot they are the biggest marketplace in the world and bring in millions of customers a month, you can just stop using them as a platform to sell on but you will end up paying the same on ads or more with no guarantee of sale.
