FAQ
How is the Amazon referral fee calculated?
It is a percentage of the total sales price (item price plus shipping and gift-wrap charges), set by category, with a per-item minimum in many categories. Some categories use a lower rate below a price threshold; others charge different rates on different portions of the price.
What referral fee does “Everything Else” pay?
15% with a $0.30 minimum, per the source page.
How does the target-margin price work?
We test every price cent by cent and return the lowest one where price − referral fee − your costs ≥ target margin × price. Scanning handles tiered categories, where the fee can jump at a threshold.
