Here’s the transcript from the video:

Ugo: “Yeah, Amazon charges two basic selling fees: one for your selling plan that’s $39.99 every month and one is a referral fee for every item sold. Our optional programs like advertising, Vine, promotions, and FBA can have additional costs.

“With FBA, for example, some of our core fees are an FBA fulfillment fee. That’s a per-unit charge that can vary depending on the items category, size, and weight. There’s a monthly inventory storage fee. That’s based on daily average volume and cubic feet. There’s also a monthly aged inventory surcharge. That’s on inventory that’s been in our fulfillment center for 181 days. There’s also an FBA disposal order fee. That’s a per-unit charge should you want us to dispose of an item for you.

“There are some additional potential fees that you could incur based on your seller journey. Those are outlined in our Seller Central Help page—link in the description.”
