Calculating Total Revenue & Selling fees on Amazon
Item Price
Price charged to the customer. Amazon adds the item price and shipping when assessing
competitiveness across sellers.
Shipping
Price charged to the customer for shipping. For seller-fulfilled orders, the seller collects this amount
as revenue. For FBA orders, since shipping is already included, this amount is zero and doesn't
affect FBA fulfillment fees

Cost of Seller fulfillment
This is the total cost per unit for you to fulfill a customer’s order
Fulfillment by Amazon fees
Fulfillment by Amazon fees are calculated based on the dimensions and weight of the item.
