Revised Amazon Referral Fees: Impact on Sellers Dear seller

We would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for your continued engagement as a seller on Amazon.in; it is your ongoing support and commitment that has helped us become one of India’s most popular marketplaces. We want to build on this as you go on the adventure of potentially expanding your business by selling to clients throughout India.

During this cycle, we will make a number of modifications to our price structure that we think will continue to give you with excellent value while also allowing you to offer fantastic products and services to your clients. Following these modifications, we expect sellers to notice an average decrease of INR 1.5 in costs per item sold; we also expect that there will we also expect that there will

Many sellers will witness a significant fall in the average fees paid to Amazon.in in major categories such as Home, Home Improvement, Kitchen, and Apparel.

Please keep in mind that these changes will go into effect on September 9, 2024, and reflect our commitment to making Amazon.in one of India’s most popular marketplaces for sellers. The key points are as follows: As of [9 sept 2024], Amazon has adjusted its referral fee structure for sellers. The referral fee is a percentage of the sale price that Amazon charges sellers for each transaction. The revised fees aim to reflect the rising costs of doing business and investing in Amazon’s logistics and services.

What are referral fees?

It is the cost charged to sellers in exchange for access to the Amazon.in ecosystem’s perks. It applies to each item sold and is expressed as a percentage of the total selling price. The percentage varies with product type.

Some charge categories now have a changed referral fee. Please see Table 1 for new rate cards.

What are the weight handling fees?

If you select Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) or Easy Ship (ES) as your delivery method, Amazon.in will transport your products to customers and charge a fee known as weight handling costs. In addition, if you participate in the Seller Flex program, this cost will apply.

Hello!! I found your DA charms like 2 years ago and saw that you weren’t printing anymore until DA4 comes out - I was wondering if that was still up for plans as it’s been a while and DA4 is scheduled to come out Fall 2024 c: I love all of your designs and would love to purchase some haha

hello!! oh my god i did say that…i’m interested, but not sure how i’ll set it up (probably printing set amounts and not doing preorders bc stress). also not quite sure when it will be but it’ll probably be post-release unfortunately

if/when i do reprint them it’ll be no epoxy (they yellow pretty quick) and probably with a clip instead of a phone strap!

Someone tagged me the other day and mentioned this flavor of Goldfish crackers. (I'm sorry, I can't remember who did that.)

This afternoon I went to Target. There wasn't a single crying child! But the Target is in a city that, starting July 1, will force retailers to charge $0.05 per bag. Stores keep the bag fees, but are encouraged to use them for virtue signalling:

The bag fee is charged and kept by the business. Businesses can choose how to use the fees collected, but are encouraged to use the fees to recover costs for communications materials about their bag policy and other sustainability initiatives. Businesses will be required to annually report the number of bags and total fees collected.

OK, back to my shopping. In the cracker aisle I looked for the pizza flavored Goldfish crackers. None were to be seen. Not a big surprise.

There was an Alfred E. Neuman-like gap on the bottom shelf. I got down on my hands and knees to see if I might find a stray bag of my favorite flavor.

No luck. But there were two bags of the spicy dill pickle Goldfish crackers hiding way back there. I like pickles and spicy things. I also had been thinking of these since I'd been tagged in a Tumblr post.

I like the taste enough that I'd buy a bag of this flavor about twice a year. The flavoring is a sprayed-on dust. To me it concentrates the flavor. They don't have the rich, evenly distributed, baked-in flavor inherent in the pizza Goldfish.

That flavoring dust means you get Cheetos fingers eating these 'fish, so have a paper towel handy. It's not bright orange, but you do feel it on your digits.

Question re: the new membership tiers; is it still the case where you get more actual money after the processing fees out of an annual premium membership or is monthly now actually paying out more?

larger payments result in less of the total getting lost to fees, but the monthly payments do technically make me more money

[sendmyresignation]

anyway i got pit tickets >:)

eternally outraged by GoFundMe begging for tips when they already charge commission fees for transferring AND sending before taking 30% when the money is withdrawn

Six Some Sentences Sunday Saturday

and also A MOODBOARD. I am not even sure what those are for but people on AO3 have them on multipart works so I assume they are essential to the craft.

I'm hiding it behind a cut because although I know how to Make Internet Arts I am not especially good at it - I know the keyboard shortcuts I just don't know how to use them well.

When Sylvie catches sight of her reflection in the long mirror behind the bar she can’t resist giving herself a victorious smile; she’s here to celebrate and she damn well deserves that celebration. Finally she has found a buyer for her latest piece of work, and if all goes well it’ll bring at least a few months of financial security before she has to start worrying about the bills again.  She knocks back the remainder of her margarita and orders another, and since the bartender keeps unsubtly staring at her chest she takes her time searching in her purse for the payment, just in case this prompts him to offer this one on the house.  He doesn’t (well, it was a bit of a long shot) but someone else does – a tall, pale, dark-haired man steps in to play Prince Charming instead, and on first impressions alone this unexpected understudy might be good for more than one free drink; she wishes she had ordered something more expensive.

(No prizes for guessing that her "latest piece of work" is in some way fraudulent, or for guessing who the buyer is.)

feeling very very resentful over the dollar as a currency and the way online payment processing systems cater to dollars while excluding everything else

Oh boy, FedEx really is by far the most incompetent company I have ever dealt with in my life. How do y'all keep up with that bullsh*t? I'll never complain about our national shipping companies again, holy sh*t...
