Amazon offers both Professional and Individual selling plans.
In the Professional selling plan, you are charged a non-refundable monthly subscription fee, regardless of whether you list or sell anything. You do not pay a per-item fee when an item sells. All other fees are charged as applicable.
The Professional selling plan gives you access to inventory tools to upload batch files and manage your orders through feeds and reports. These tools are beneficial to most medium- to large-size businesses.
For answers to common questions about this fee, please visit Monthly subscription fee FAQ.
The Individual selling plan is for sellers who do not need access to inventory tools and reports for volume selling. Under the Individual selling plan, you do not pay a monthly subscription fee. You pay a per-item fee in addition to applicable fees. Learn more about the Individual Selling Plan.
You can switch between selling plans whenever you want.
