Amazon United States

Listing language: English

Referral Fees & Costs

Referral fees range from 6% (personal computers) to 20% (Amazon device accessories). Most categories fall between 8–15%. A $0.30 minimum per-item fee applies across almost all categories.

Listing Requirements

  • Product titles must be in English and stay within the 200-character limit (many categories recommend 80 characters for mobile display)
  • Main product image must be on a pure white background (RGB 255,255,255) with the product filling at least 85% of the image frame
  • All measurements must be in imperial units (inches, pounds, ounces) unless selling SI-standard scientific equipment
  • Listings in restricted categories (Grocery, Health, Beauty, certain Electronics) require pre-approval before listing
  • Products sold as "new" must be factory-sealed with no signs of use or repackaging
  • FBA shipments to US fulfillment centers must comply with FBA packaging and labeling requirements including FNSKU barcodes

Common Errors on This Marketplace

  • Title exceeds 200 characters due to keyword stuffing
  • Main image shows lifestyle background instead of white
  • Missing required attributes for the category (voltage for electronics, size for apparel)
  • Price suppressed due to being significantly above historical price or competitor prices
  • Listing suppressed for missing compliance certifications (UL, FCC, CE equivalents)

Shipping & FBA Notes

US sellers can use FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) for Prime eligibility. Standard FBM (Fulfilled by Merchant) requires meeting seller-fulfilled Prime thresholds or accepting slower shipping badge.
