Type of Amazon Fees or Commission in India
Commission/Referral Fee (based on Category)
Referral fees are charges applied to the sale of each product on the platform. The amount of the referral fee varies depending on the category of the product being sold, with some categories having higher fees than others.
These fees are subject to change at any time, and some products may have a minimum referral fee, which means that even if the percentage fee is lower, the seller will still pay a minimum amount per sale.

How to Calculate Volumetric Weight :
Amazon Shipping Fees is computed on volumetric or actual weight, whichever is higher. Volumetric weight is calculated as
Volumetric Weight (kg) = (Length x Breadth x Height)/5000 where LBH are in cm.
How to calculate Shipping Fees:
FBA & Easy Ship Shipping Fees
Total Shipping Fees = Fees based on item weight (refer size guidelines above) and distance (refer shipping regions above)
Example 1: if your item (containing book) weighing 700 gms is shipped from Delhi to Chandigarh (same region, but different city, i.e. Regional shipping) through FBA then Shipping or Weight handling Fees = ₹ 40 + ₹ 17 = ₹ 57
Example 2: If your item weighing 3.5kgs (containing electronic item) is shipped by Easy Ship from Banalore to Shillong (across region, i .e. national shipping), then Shipping fees = ₹ 72 + ₹25 + (₹27*3) = ₹178
Example 3: if your item weighing 19 kgs (containing Chimney, which is Heavy and Bulky item) is shipped from your Bangalore warehouse to customer address in same city (Local shipping), using Easy Ship then shipping fees = ₹192 + (₹5*7) = ₹ 227
Self Ship
For Self-ship, there is no shipping fees as you will have to take care of delivery yourself or with the help of courier partner, who you will have to pay directly for the cost of delivery.
