Other costs
When calculating the full cost of selling in Amazon stores, be sure to consider additional selling expenses you may incur, and other optional programmes designed to help you increase sales
Additional selling fees
Inventory fees
If you store inventory in an Amazon fulfilment centre—available to selling partners who use FBA—in addition to monthly inventory storage fees, you may incur other fees, such long-term storage fees, overage fees, and removal order fees.
High-volume listing fees
The High Volume Listing Fee will only apply if you exceed 2 million SKUs in a given month, and it will be applied to your highest number of SKUs above 2 million at any time during that month. For each active non-media SKU over 2 million, a fee of 0,0004 € per SKU will apply.
Refund administration fee
If you refund a customer for an order for which you have already received payment, Amazon will refund you the amount of the referral fee you paid for the item(s), minus the applicable Refund Administration Fee, which is the lesser of 5,00 € or 20% of the applicable referral fee.
For example, if you refund a customer the 10,00 € total sales price of an item in a category with a 15% referral fee, your Refund Administration Fee will be 0,30€ (10,00€ x 15% referral fee = 1.50€).

How much does Amazon charge for storage of products?
Sellers have to pay a monthly inventory storage charge (storage fees), for the space occupied by all items stored in Amazon Fulfilment centres. This is calculated based on the daily average volume of the inventory, which is measured in cubic feet in the UK, and cubic metres in Europe.
The fee per cubic foot/metre varies based on the calendar month - it is lower from January to September, and a slightly higher amount is charged for the year-end, high-traffic months from October to December. The exact amount also depends on the category your product falls in, as well as its dimensions (size).
There is a separate fee structure for the storage of items that are classified as hazmat or dangerous goods.
