I have an item that has a coupon code on it for 45%. When I look at the payment and fee, The Amazon fee is only 50 cents? It is supposed to be 8%. I’m trying to figure out how this was figured (not complaining or anything ..). I know this doesn’t include the 60 cents coupon fee. Just a little confused.

Think I found my answer. Its baby clothing .. and this I never knew.
Clothing and Accessories
5% for products with a total sales price of $15.00 or less
10% for products with a total sales price greater than $15.00 and less than or equal to $20.00
17% for products with a total sales price greater than $20.00
I’m going to redo some of my pricing strategies!

Yes, they did this recently (in the last 2-3? months) due to competition from temu and shein.
But, I would pause before you go change prices. If your items are in the baby category, but are clothing, I wonder if you do get the same referral fees. Might have to petition to change.

I am getting the clothing fee. I had to apply for the category when I first made my listings. I just wasn’t aware of the fee differences depending on total cost.
The other thing that is nice .. is that they included my coupon when figuring my fee (subtracted the discount). I read somewhere on here that they figured the AMZ fee BEFORE coupon.
The last thing I’m wondering is … if the total price (after coupon) is $9.99 (and it fits in a standard envelope) does it qualify for shipping exemption? I don’t have any options to ship with a standard envelope in Amazon Buy Shipping (they won’t guarantee it anyway), but I can do it from Shipstation and just make sure that Amazon records it as standard envelope (which I am able to do). I tried it on this one test order, I’ll see if I get nicked on my VTR.
