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.
