Amazon hidden fees for individual sellers
I’m trying to understand Amazon’s fees. Looking at their page (https://sell.amazon.co.uk/pricing#other-costs) it looks like they should be charging me 15.3% referral fee (on items over £5) and a 75p per item fee. What they are actually charging me is:
Is this correct? It’s not what they say they’re going to do? The first charge is the referral fee of 15.3%, the second is the per item fee (why they can’t use the same terminology consistently is beyond me). So why are they charging another two fees which they say nothing about on the info page?

Closing fees
Sellers also pay a closing fee of £0.50 per media item that is sold. Media categories are Books, Music, DVD, Video, Video Games (Games, Accessories and Consoles) and Software.
Starting in January 25, 2021, the closing fee £0.50 per item will change from £0.50 to £1.00 for Books.

The above, plus the shipping holdback is the 15.3% of the shipping being charged.

Thanks, both.
I suppose it was naive of me to expect them to declare all their fees on their fees page

Also, it is actually 90p, as is 75p + VAT
