The fees an Amazon.ca seller pays: referral, fulfilment, storage and the ones people forget.

Referral fee

A percentage of the selling price, set by category. Many categories sit around 15 percent, some lower, some higher. Always check the current schedule.

Fulfilment fee

If Amazon ships for you, you pay a per-unit fee based on size and weight.

Storage

Monthly fees by volume, higher late in the year, with extra charges for stock that sits too long.
