- CamelCaseName 7y agoI apologize, the referral fee range I previously stated is a little misleading. Referral fees for the vast majority of items is 8% to 15%, which in and of itself is a massive range. I believe this is mostly due to the typical margin on each item. Perhaps the typical cost of customer acquisition also plays a role. The minimum is 6% for personal computers, which historically have super slim margins anyhow, and 45% for Amazon Device accessories, probably because Amazon wants to maintain a major advantage over third party accessories (and possibly because they dominate the market for Amazon device accessories, so they're able to charge a major premium)
