Amazon Japan announces reduction in sales commissions for products with low unit price

Amazon Japan announced a reduction in sales commissions for low-customer unit price products. This new initiative is designed to drive and incentivize sellers to provide customers with a wider range of products and competitive prices, while continuing to help sellers achieve business growth and success.

Starting from June 1, for all products with a unit price of less than 750 yen (except books, music, DVDs, movies, computer software, video games and Amazon device accessories), the sales commission will be reduced to 5%, with a minimum charge of 30 JPY. In addition, Amazon will also charge a minimum sales commission of 30 yen per item for grocery and beer items starting from June 1.

Since 2024, Amazon has announced that it will reduce sales commissions for clothing products with lower unit price per customer on many sites including the United States, Europe, Japan and Canada. This time, the Amazon Japan site has lowered the scope of sales commissions for products with low unit price and expanded it to more categories to help sellers effectively reduce sales costs.
