Shipping Cost
The shipping cost will be included in Amazon seller fees based on the fulfillment method you choose. With Amazon, you can either choose to ship the products by yourself ('self-ship') directly to customers or use Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA). In case of self-ship, the shipping cost depends on the 3rd party logistics provider you choose. In case of FBA, the fee per unit includes picking and packing your orders, shipping and handling, customer service, and product returns. Fees are based on the weight and dimensions of your product.
Other Costs
The Amazon Europe seller fees for Indian exporters includes charges incurred on advertisements and promotions you run within Amazon to maximize your sales, costs associated with 'Multi-Channel Fulfillment' i.e. shipping the products to customers if they have shopped offline or through your own ecommerce site or any other service/solution you are availing from Amazon.
