Amazon Referral Fees for Appliances
The Amazon referral fee for Appliances is 8% with a minimum of $0.30 per item. Calculate your exact fees below.
How Amazon Fees Work for Appliances
Amazon applies an 8% referral fee to the Appliances category, one of the lowest rates on the platform. This covers both small appliances (blenders, toasters, coffee makers, vacuum cleaners) and large appliances (refrigerators, washing machines, dishwashers, ovens). The fee is calculated on the total sales price including shipping and gift wrap.
The low 8% referral fee makes appliances attractive, but the economics vary dramatically between small and large appliances. Small countertop appliances benefit from reasonable FBA fees and strong Prime demand. Large appliances face enormous logistics costs, require white-glove delivery, and often need professional installation. Amazon offers a separate Heavy and Bulky fulfillment program for large appliances, but many sellers find it more practical to handle fulfillment themselves. Warranty and customer service expectations are also higher in this category, as buyers expect responsive support for products they use daily.

Tips for Selling Appliances on Amazon
For small appliances, use FBA and compete aggressively for the Prime badge, which is a major conversion driver for kitchen and home appliance purchases.
Highlight energy efficiency ratings and annual operating cost savings in your bullet points, as energy-conscious consumers increasingly make purchasing decisions based on long-term cost of ownership.
Offer extended warranty options through Amazon's warranty marketplace to increase customer confidence and generate additional revenue per transaction.
Focus on replacement filters, accessories, and consumable parts as supplemental listings that generate recurring revenue from your existing appliance customer base.
