Hi Mastan,

Can you share the link of any such listing that is selling for 180 Rs?

Liquid Detergent will come in the category ‘Health and Household – Household Cleaning, Laundry, Air Fresheners, Personal Hygiene (Handwash, Feminine Hygiene, Oral Care)’ in the above Fee chart.

Below is the Referral Fee for it:
4.5% for item price 500 and 1000

Closing Fee will be as per the price of the product. See Closing Fee chart above.

Apart from that if you are using FBA, their will be FBA pick and pack fee. You can refer this video for types of FBA fees: https://youtu.be/-P1Kq4PmGiY?t=370

Assuming you are doing Easy Ship, here is how you calculate shipping cost:
If the product is of 5kg. You break the weight as: 500 gm + 500 gm + 4 * (1 kg)

Now, refer the Easy Ship Fee chart above for these weights.
Local: 47 + 13 + 4 * 21 = 144
Similarly calculate for Regional and National.

For better understanding of easy ship calculation, you can also watch the explanation here: https://youtu.be/R5j6GcE5zZE?t=550

If using FBA, you will use the FBA Shipping Fee chart in the similar way. Latest FBA Fee Charges can be check here: https://amazingmarketer.in/amazon/fba-shipping-closing-storage-pick-pack-fee

Hi Jagjeet,

All Amazon Fees, and GST are charged over the final selling price i.e. the final price that you are selling the item for including GST.

I have a question regarding the Amazon fee, is it charged on the selling price(listing price) or the selling price – GST?

There is no general rule whether a particular kind of book or product will be profitable on Amazon. It depends on the profit margins. You need to account for the shipping, referral fee and closing fee of Amazon.

For books below INR 250, referral fee is 3%. And closing fee will be INR 4 for easy ship.

So in your case, total fee will be INR 5.8
referral fee = 1.8
closing fee = 4

Shipping Fee depends on the eight and size of package. Lowest being INR 47 for 500 gm package shipped locally.

Unless you charge shipping to your customers, you will be in loss.

If there are multiple books, you can bundle them for a better margin, even after shipping cost.

Also, is it your own book or is it a book of some other author as in that case you need to check how much other’s are selling for.

Hi Vaishali,

*Referral fee for Perfumes (Beauty Fragrance category) is
13.5% for item price <= INR 300
12.5% for item price > INR 300 and <= INR 500
14% for item price > INR 500

*applicable at the time of replying to your query. You can check the latest referral and closing fee at the time of selling, here https://sell.amazon.in/fees-and-pricing

Remaining part of your query is not clear. Kindly explain properly.
From what I could understand, it is your brand so you can choose to sell it from anywhere. Amazon is just one of the marketplaces where you can list your products to sell. There is no compulsion that you can sell your brand products only from Amazon.
