At the time of writing this article, this <\/span><b>subscription Amazon Australia subscription fee is $49.95 per month, excluding GST.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considering that Amazon is still relatively new in Australia, it is offering its potential sellers a 50% discount on the monthly subscription fee for the first two months. This offer is applicable to only new seller accounts. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, instead of paying <strong>$49.95<\/strong> along with the GST per month, new sellers who are looking to sell their products on Amazon Australia need to pay only <strong>$24.98<\/strong> plus GST for the first two months of their subscription.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The payment cycle for the subscription fee begins as soon as you finish the registration process.

They incur a charge in addition to the referral fee. This charge is known as a closing fee and is fixed at $1. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To understand this better, let us consider the following example:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<table id=\"tablepress-160\" class=\"tablepress tablepress-id-160\">\n<thead>\n<tr class=\"row-1\">\n\t<th class=\"column-1\">Specifications<\/th><th class=\"column-2\">Price<br \/>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody class=\"row-striping row-hover\">\n<tr class=\"row-2\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Blu-ray DVD\t<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$30<br \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-3\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Delivery charges paid by the buyer\t<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$10<br \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-4\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Referral fee\t<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$4.8 (12% referral fee)<br \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-5\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">Closing fee\t<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$1<br \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr class=\"row-6\">\n\t<td class=\"column-1\">The total amount credited to the seller\u2019s account\t<\/td><td class=\"column-2\">$30 + $10 \u2013 $4.8 \u2013 $1<br \/>\n<br \/>\n= $34.2<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<!-- #tablepress-160 from cache -->\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once again, the closing fee is applicable only to media products.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In case the seller decides to refund a customer, then Amazon Australia will return the referral fee back to the seller, after deducting the refund administration fee. This refund administration fee is either $5 or 20% of the referral fee, whichever is lesser.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the above example, for instance, if the seller decides to refund the customer for the Blu-ray DVD, then the refund administration fee that Amazon Australia will charge is 20% of $4.8, that is, $0.96. Therefore, you will get <strong>$3.84<\/strong> back as the referral fee.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fulfillment-by-amazon-australia-fees\"><b>Fulfillment By Amazon Australia Fees<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally speaking, when a seller on Amazon Australia receives an order, he\/she can follow two courses of action:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ship the product directly to the customer<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Opt for the FBA program by Amazon Australia and have them take care of everything<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the seller chooses the first option, then no additional charges are incurred to the monthly subscription fee and referral fees. In the case of <\/span>Fulfillment by Amazon Australia, however, the seller will have to pay FBA fees along with the selling fees. If the product is among the most popular products on Amazon Australia, then the FBA program is definitely a good choice as it is <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cost-effective, simple, and a terrific way to scale the business.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>FBA<\/strong> fee on Amazon Australia can be broadly split into two parts:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fulfillment fee<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Storage fee<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The fulfillment fee is the flat fee that sellers incur for their products<\/span>, and<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> it depends on products dimensions, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/amazon-weight-calculator.html\">outbound shipping weight of the product<\/a>, and type. For example, if a product\u2019s dimension is less than or equal to 45 cm x 34 cm x 26 cm and weighs around 600 grams, then the fulfillment fee will be $6.42. The entire table for the same can be found on the official website of <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com.au\/\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon Australia<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the storage fee, it is charged based on the daily average volume in cubic meters. Through the months of January and September, the storage fee is $19.40 per cubic meter per month, while through October and December, it is $26.50.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For items that are more than 365 days old, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/amazon-long-term-storage-fees\/\">long-term storage fee<\/a> is also levied. This fee is <strong>$1100<\/strong> per cubic meter and is charged on February 15 and August 15 every year.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Amazon Australia FBA Return And Disposal Fee<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sellers who opt for FBA can have their inventory returned to them anytime they wish. In this case, a fee will be charged per item. If the item is standard-sized, then the fee levied is $0.65 and in the case of oversize, it is $0.75.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternately, sellers on Amazon Australia can also have Amazon dispose of the inventory on their behalf. In this case, the charges levied for the two sizes are $0.15 and $0.20 respectively.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><b>What Are The Benefits Of Amazon FBA In Australia?<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With <\/span>Fulfillment by Amazon, sellers can effectively store their products across the country in Amazon\u2019s fulfillment centers. Amazon Australia will take care of picking, packing, and <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">delivering these products to the customers. In addition to this, customer service is also provided for these products, thus automatically giving the seller an edge over his\/her competitors.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Australian sellers who make use of FBA can also benefit from other services like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/amazon-inventory-placement-service\/\">inventory placement<\/a><\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and <\/span>multichannel<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> fulfillment. These features help sellers on Amazon Australia expand their customer base and improve the performance of their business.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amazon is still relatively new in Australia and as a result, the seller fees that the company offers are highly competitive. However, they can be just as easy to get confused with. Therefore, it is recommended that before you go about selling your products on Amazon Australia, take some time and understand all the intricacies of Amazon seller fees and FBA fees.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Content:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/walmart-seller-marketplace-fees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Walmart Seller Fees: Marketplace Fees Explained For 2022<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/amazon-repricing-strategies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best Amazon Repricing Strategies for Sellers<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellerapp.com\/blog\/amazon-seller-central-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The 2022 PRO Guide To Amazon Seller Central<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/dashboard.sellerapp.com\/register?plan=Pro_Monthly&referrer=australiafees-inside3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sellerapp.com\/Blog_images\/mid-conversion\/SellerApp-features.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon has truly revolutionized the way we perceive shopping.
