Amazon collects fees only when your item sells. At that time, Amazon collects your sales price and shipping costs from the buyer, deducts a commission of 6 to 15 percent of the sales price, a per-transaction fee of $0.99, and a variable closing fee. The $0.99 per-transaction fee is waived for Pro Merchant Subscribers.

Commission rates are as follows:

• Amazon Kindle = 15 percent
• Automotive parts and accessories = 12 percent
• Camera and photo = 8 percent
• Cell phones and accessories = 15 percent
• Computers = 6 percent
• Electronic items = 8 percent
• Items in the Everything Else store = 15 percent
• Musical instruments = 12 percent
• Tires & Wheels = 10 percent
• Video Game Consoles = 8 percent
• Watches = 15 percent
• Wireless Antennas and Boosters = 12 percent*
• All other product lines = 15 percent

* Valid October 7, 2009, through April 5, 2010. Only applies to select items.See details

No separate fees are assessed on Amazon Marketplace sales. Amazon automatically transfers your Marketplace Payments earnings to your checking account every 14 days.

For individual sellers, if your item doesn't sell within 60 days, the listing is closed and you pay nothing. We will confirm via e-mail that your listing has ended, and will include instructions about how to relist your item. Listings will generally be available in your "closed" section for 14 days. We encourage sellers to monitor their listings and promptly relist available inventory. If you're a Pro Merchant seller, your listings will remain on the site indefinitely unless they sell, you remove them, or you cancel your Pro Merchant subscription.

Amazon reserves the right to charge sellers a fee for poor seller performance. Performance may be determined by metrics such as excessive refunding (e.g., for stockouts), high rates of A-to-z Guarantee claims filed against the seller, and credit card chargebacks on Marketplace Payments transactions. Amazon will communicate any fees and specific performance requirements to the seller prior to charging the seller's account.

Currently you can sell items in four categories at Amazon Marketplace--New, Refurbished, Used, and Collectible. Please check our Condition Guidelines.

You may list items at any price you feel is fair, regardless of the Amazon.com price or list price, so long as it adheres to our General Pricing rule; however, only items priced at or above the list price (MSRP) or $10, whichever is greater, are eligible for listing as Collectible music or other media products. Collectible books may be listed at any price. Music and other media items priced below $10 or list price may not be listed as Collectible.

General Pricing Rule: By our General Pricing rule, you must always ensure that the item price and total price of an item you list on Amazon.com are at or below the item price and total price at which you offer and/or sell the item via any other online sales channel.

Our pricing terms are defined below:

The item price is the amount payable by a customer, excluding shipping and handling, as it appears when you list an item.

The total price is the amount payable by a customer as well as all terms of offer/sale. This includes all of the following:

• shipping and handling charges
• any discounts, rebates, or special sales/promotions you offer/make with respect to purchases
• the shipping method you use
• business practices, such as any reduction or elimination of shipping charges on an order, or of any other order-related fees and expenses
• any low-price guarantees

(The total price does not include discounts, sales, rebates, or other promotional offers you attempt to make available through Amazon Marketplace but which we do not honor or support.)
