Shipping Rates and Credits

Amazon collects a per-item shipping fee from the buyer and passes it on to help cover your shipping costs. The shipping amount you will receive depends on the product category of the item you are selling and the shipping method selected by the buyer.

Shipment is required even if the shipping amount credited to your account does not cover all shipping costs.

The following table shows the amount you will receive from Amazon to offset shipping costs if your item sells:

* Refers to the weight of the item, excluding the seller's packaging.
