The Amazon fee structure

• Unlike other regions, Amazon Australia charges a subscription fee from registered sellers, which can be around AUD 49.95 per month plus GST, which is usually 10%. New entrants pay AUD 24.98 for the first two months.
• Amazon charges referral fees. This is a percentage of the value of the product. The percentage varies from one category to the next, ranging from 9% to 12%.
• Certain products attract closing fee.
• Shipping fees apply based on weight/volume – buyer may bear the delivery charges.

If you opt for the FBA program on Amazon Australia you pay the fulfillment fee and storage fee, the latter being charged on volume per month. The rate for storage is AUD 19.40 to 26.50 and if a product lies unsold a long term storage applies and is charged annually. Sellers can have their inventory returned or disposed off in which case additional charges apply.
