Amazon Fees, is this calculation correct?
Hello,
I’m a seller on amazon with a professional account. I use only FBA.
Recently, I have seen a grafic presentation of amazon fees and my incomes on amazon (there is blue/red graph when you click Report and then Payment on your seller central account.
I’ve just realised that every day amazon charges me around 50% of my daily incomes (they say that it includes fees and cost of advert) and they send me the rest to my bank account.
Almost all my products cost around 10 Pounds and on the product inventory page amazon say that selling of this product costs me 3,75 Pound (including 2,21 Amazon FBA Fee) .
When I calculate it, I see that Amazon should reduce my daily incone for around 35%, not 50.
First of all, I was thinking, that this additional around 15% it is costs of advertisement (I use it), but than I realised that twice a month Amazon send me an advert invoice and I have negative balance on my Amazon account untill everyday incomes covers this invoice.
So I’m wondering now, what they charge me for this additional percentage and how to check it out?
I hope that somebody will be able to solve this doubt.
Thanks
Tom

Have you included VAT on fees in your calcs?

So there should be
Storage Fees
Shipping Fees
VAT
Monthly Subscription
plus any Ads that you pay for
Don’t forget to check the size of your items are listed correctly so that you are not overpaying fees
It maybe helpful if you go into your ‘transactions’ under Reports>Payments as it gives a breakdown of individual costs for each item sold
You may want to put an example of one of the transactions on here (Just the figures no personal info) so someone can break it down
