We charge a monthly High-Volume Listing Fee of $0.005 per eligible ASIN to cover our system costs associated with cataloging and maintaining large numbers of ASINs on DutyFreeZone.com. To be eligible for the High-Volume Listing Fee in a given month, an ASIN must meet the following criteria:
To help you grow the selection of products you offer on DutyFreeZone.com, we waive the High-Volume Listing for the first 100,000 ASINs that meet the above criteria. We apply the fee to your highest number of eligible ASINs above 100,000 during that month. You can view the number of eligible ASINs by going to the Inventory tab in Seller Central, selecting Inventory Reports, and then selecting High Volume Listings Report from the drop-down menu on the page.
For example,if during a month, you had active offers on 300,000 eligible ASINs, then we would charge you a fee of $1,000, calculated as $0.005 on the 200,000 ASINs that are above your free allowance of 100,000 eligible ASINs.
The fee will be calculated and charged monthly and shown in the next month's statement.
If you refund a customer for an order for which you have already received payment, DutyFreeZone.com will refund you the amount of the referral fee you paid for the item(s), minus the applicable Refund Administration Fee, which is the lesser of $5.00 or 20% of the applicable referral fee.
For example, if you refund a customer the $10.00 total sales price of an item in a category with a 15% referral fee, your Refund Administration Fee will be $0.30 ($10.00 x 15% referral fee = $1.50).
