Understanding Amazon Belgium Selling Fees
Referral Fees
Amazon charges a referral fee on every sale, calculated as a percentage of the total sales price (item price + shipping + gift wrap). The rate varies by category on amazon.com.be — most categories charge 15%, but rates can range from 7% to 20%+. Some categories like Jewelry and Watches use tiered rates where different percentages apply to different portions of the price.
Per-Item Fee & Seller Plans
Amazon offers two selling plans: Professional (€39/mo) and Individual (€0.99 per item sold). Professional sellers also get access to additional selling tools, bulk listing, and API access. For sellers moving enough items per month, the Professional plan is more cost-effective.
FBA Fulfillment Fees
FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) sellers pay a per-unit fulfillment fee based on the product’s size tier and shipping weight. Products are classified into size tiers based on their dimensions (cm) and weight (kg). Shipping weight is typically the greater of unit weight or dimensional weight for larger items.
FBA Storage Fees
Amazon charges monthly storage fees based on the daily average volume of inventory stored in fulfillment centers. Rates increase during Q4 peak season (October–December). Oversize items have different rates from standard-size items. Long-term storage surcharges may apply for inventory stored over 365 days.
Reducing Your Amazon Fees
To minimize fees: choose the Professional plan if selling enough items/month; optimize product packaging to qualify for a smaller size tier; keep inventory lean to reduce storage fees, especially during Q4; consider FBM for heavy or oversize items where FBA fees are high; and verify your product is listed in the correct category.
Fee information is based on the official Amazon seller fee schedule. Always verify current rates on Amazon Seller Central.
