*Note: This offer only applies to products shipped via Amazon Logistics and Seller-Fulfilled Prime.
01 Referral fee discount for saving money and new knowledge
US station:
From now on, commissions in the fashion category will be reduced from 18% to 15%
The referral fee percentage will be reduced from 18% to 15% for products in the “Shoes, Handbags, and Sunglasses” category with a total sales price of more than $75.00.
Europe Marketplace
From now until April 30, 2021, commissions in the fashion category have been reduced from 15% to 7%. It is worth noting that the commission discount offer for European sellers has been specially extended for 2 months.
In the European market, in the category of clothing, footwear and luggage with prices above €45, the sales commission for the portion above €45 will be reduced from 15% to 7%, the portion equal to or less than €45, and the commission percentage will remain unchanged at 15%.
*Affected by the epidemic, the promotion period has been extended for 2 months in order to spend a special period with many sellers.
Wendy sells an item for €75 through the Prime delivery plan, with a 15% referral fee percentage for the first €45 and 7% for the remaining €30, so the total referral fee is (€45* 15% + €30* 7%) = €8.85.
Japan Marketplace
From now until February 28, 2021, some sales commissions are as low as 5%!
On Amazon Japan, clothing and accessories discounts are calculated separately from the footwear, luggage category:
Clothing 👔 and accessories 💍 category: For products with a price above 3,000 yen, the referral fee percentage for the portion above 3,000 yen was reduced from 15% to 8%, and the commission percentage remained the same for the portion equal to or less than 3,000 yen.
Shoes 👟 Luggage 💼 category: For products with a price above 7,500 yen, the referral fee percentage for the portion above 7,500 yen was reduced from 15% to 5%, and the commission percentage remained the same for the portion equal to or less than 7,500 yen.
➤ Wendy sells clothing accessories for 4,500 yen through the Prime delivery program, and the referral fee is (3,000 yen* 15% + 1,500 yen* 8%) = 570 yen.
➤ Additionally, Wendy also sells shoes for 10,000 yen in Japan, and the sales commission is (7,500 yen * 15% + 2,500 yen * 5%) = 1,250 yen.
02 Save money with preferential logistics costs for new knowledge
Since March of last year, Amazon Logistics has launched a limited-time promotion on storage fees and removal fees, providing free monthly storage and removal services for new products that meet the requirements, helping sellers save on the cost of testing new products. Based on positive feedback from sellers, Amazon Logistics has further expanded the promotional benefits of this campaign and launched an upgraded version of the “Amazon Logistics New Product Selection Program”. The number of ASINs subject to fee reduction has been increased from 100 to 500, and categories such as clothing, shoes, and bags can also enjoy free return processing.
Next, let's follow Wendy's footsteps to see how logistics costs were saved~
*For ease of understanding and comparison, the calculation formula on each site below assumes that Wendy only has one ASIN that meets the eligibility requirements for the Amazon Logistics New Product Selection Program. The number of inbound products for that ASIN is 50, the buyer returns 2 items within 120 days, and Wendy removes 1 item within 180 days.
