Power your growth with Prime

Using Buy with Prime, merchants pay for what they use. The cost per unit for Buy with Prime orders depends on multiple factors, including product dimensions and weight, average order value and the number of units per Buy with Prime order. The cost includes fulfillment fee, storage fee, payment processing fee, and service fees. All fees, except for those incurred for storage, are charged only after merchants make a sale.

You can see fulfillment fee, storage fee, payment processing fee, and Prime service fee details in your Seller Central or Amazon Supply Chain account. To see payment processing fees in Seller Central, navigate to the Payments dashboard in your Amazon Pay Seller Central account. If you’re registered for both Amazon Pay and Fulfillment by Amazon with the same username and password, you can toggle between views.

The Prime service fee is 3% of the Buy with Prime order’s value (excluding tax) with a $1.00 minimum per order.

You’re charged storage fees between the 7th and 15th of the month following the month that you incur the fee. For more information, go to Monthly inventory storage fees.

An aged inventory surcharge applies to units that have been stored in a fulfillment center for over 180 days. For more information, go to Aged inventory surcharge.

Disposal fees are charged per item when you request Amazon to dispose of any inventory items stored at an Amazon fulfillment center. You can also remove inventory from a fulfillment center by submitting a removal order. Removal fees are charged per item removed. Typically, removal orders are fulfilled in 14 business days; however, removal order processing may take 30 business days or more during the holiday season and peak removal periods.

Shipping weight is used to calculate the fulfillment fees. The shipping weight is calculated based on the item’s unit weight or dimensional weight. For large standard, oversize (excluding special oversize), large bulky, and extra-large (excluding 150+ lbs), Amazon uses dimensional weight when it’s greater than the unit weight to calculate fees. Fees for small standard, special oversize, and extra-large 150+ lbs are calculated using only unit weight. The dimensional weight is equal to the unit volume (length x width x height) divided by 139. The dimensional weight for oversize, large bulky, and extra-large items assumes a minimum width and height of 2 inches. The total shipping weight for each unit if less than 1 pound is rounded up to the nearest whole ounce. If it weighs more than 1 pound, it’s rounded up to the nearest whole pound.
