Amazon jargon:
Referral fees
For each item sold, sellers pay Amazon a percentage of the total price (which includes the item price, shipping costs, and any gift-wrap charges) or a minimum amount, whichever is greater. Fees per category are in addition to selling plan fees.
FEES
Category fees
Selling partners pay a per-category fee on each item sold. For all products, Amazon deducts the percentage applicable to the category fee, calculated on the total sales price. The total sales price is the total amount paid by the buyer, including the item price and any shipping or gift wrap costs.

Additional storage fees apply for product units classified as dangerous goods and units that have been stored in an Amazon fulfilment centre for more than 271 days (additional fee for inventory that has been in storage for a long time).
In addition to the monthly storage costs, you may be subject to a storage usage supplement if you meet certain criteria and if your storage usage rate is greater than 26 weeks. The rate is calculated by dividing the average daily inventory volume stored (in ft³) by the average daily volume shipped (in ft³) in the last 13 weeks.

Planning to sell across Europe? The Pan-European Fulfilment by Amazon Programme and European Fulfilment by Amazon offer solutions that enable thousands of businesses to reach millions of Prime customers across Europe, faster and more cost-effectively.
When you fulfil orders yourself, Amazon charges shipping fees based on the product group and the shipping service selected by the buyer and then transfers the amount to you in the form of a shipping credit.
Sellers on a Professional selling plan set their own shipping rates (with the exception of products that fall under the Books, Music, Videos, and DVD category). Please refer to the credit table below. When a customer buys your product, you receive a credit from Amazon that equates to the shipping fee. Keep in mind that the category fee is calculated based on the total sales price, which includes the price of the item, shipping cost and any gift wrap costs.
Sellers on an Individual selling plan use the shipping fees set by Amazon on all products. Sellers enrolled in an individual selling plan must ship orders at the established fees even if the shipping credit is less than the total shipping costs, so it's important to calculate the price of items so as to ensure that you make a profit.
Shipping credits for Books, Music, Videos and DVDs
Amazon charges customers the following shipping fees for products in the Books, Music, Video, and DVDs categories. Sellers receive the same amount in the form of a shipping credit. This applies to sellers on a Professional or Individual selling plan.

Other costs
When calculating the total cost of selling in Amazon stores, be sure to also consider any additional selling expenses you may incur and other optional programmes designed to help you increase sales
Additional selling fees
Inventory fees
If you store inventory in an Amazon fulfilment centre—available to selling partners who use Fulfilment by Amazon or Multi-Channel Fulfilment—in addition to your monthly inventory storage fees, you may be charged other fees, such as long-term storage fees, overage fees, and removal order fees.
High-volume listing fees
The high-volume listing fee only applies if you exceed 2 million SKUs in a given month and is calculated on the highest number of SKUs over 2 million at any time during that particular month. For each active non-media SKU over 2 million, a fee of €0.0004 per SKU will apply.
Refund processing fee
If you refund a customer for an order for which you have already received payment, Amazon will refund you the amount of the category fee you paid for the item(s), minus the applicable category fee, which is less than €5.00 or 20% of the applicable category fee.
For example, if you reimburse a customer for the €10.00 total sales price of an item in a category with a 15% category fee, the refund processing fee will be €0.30 (€10.00 x 15% category fee = €1.50).

Optional programmes
Advertising
Attract customers, even before they realise they actually need your product, and keep their level of interest high until the moment they buy it. Amazon Advertising uses an auction-based pay-per-click pricing model, which means you set the maximum amount you're willing to pay when a buyer clicks on your ad.

Speciality Fulfilment by Amazon programmes such as Fulfilment by Amazon Small and Light, Fulfilment by Amazon Subscribe and Save, Fulfilment by Amazon Dangerous Goods, Multi-Channel Fulfilment, Fulfilment by Amazon European Solutions, and Fulfilment by Amazon New Selection programme allows you to remain competitive and pay just for the services you use.

In addition to this, some sellers may have to pay other costs for premium services, marketing or other reasons. More detailed information about these fees is available on this page.
By contrast, Fulfilment by Amazon fees are charged only for the products that you have listed under this specific service. They are charged per unit based on the category, size, and weight of the item and cover the costs of storing, picking, packaging, and shipping your products using Fulfilment by Amazon.

How much does Amazon charge to store products?
Sellers must pay a storage fee for all items stored in Amazon fulfilment centres. The rate is calculated based on the average daily volume of products stored measured in cubic metres.
The rate varies depending on the calendar month: it is lower from January to September. A slightly higher amount is charged for the latter months of the year when traffic tends to be higher (from October to December). The exact amount also depends on the product category and size.
There is a separate fee plan for storing items that are classed as dangerous goods.
