Referral fees
For every item sold, sellers pay Amazon a percentage of the total price that includes unit price, shipping cost, and any gift-wrapping charges or a minimum amount (starting £ 0.25), whichever is greater. Referral fees are in addition to selling plan fees, which is a part of the Amazon Europe seller fees structure.
