Amazon.eg Seller Fees (2026): Referral Rates by Category, FBA and Easy Ship in EGP

Profitvana Editorial Team · Updated November 9, 2026

Amazon.eg, the former Souq, charges a referral fee by category with a minimum of EGP 5 per item, a fulfilment fee for FBA or Easy Ship, and 14% Egyptian VAT on every fee. Professional accounts have no monthly subscription for now, and self-shipped orders carry no fulfilment fee at all. This page carries the schedule in pounds from Amazon's Egypt pricing page, the 2025 increases, and the registration requirements, which in practice limit the store to sellers with an Egyptian tax registration.

Selling plan

Amazon.eg lists a Professional plan with no monthly subscription fee for a limited time and no Individual plan. The page advertises referral fees starting from 3%, but the lowest rate in its own table is 4%.

Referral fees by category (EGP)

The fee applies to the total the buyer pays including shipping, or EGP 5 per item, whichever is greater; Grocery has no minimum. Rates exclude VAT. Apparel, luggage, shoes and the appliance group were shown at promotional rates for a window Amazon dated 15 December 2025 to 30 June 2026; the page still printed them at the time of our read, so both the promotional and standard rates appear below.

FBA, Easy Ship and self-ship

FBA fulfilment depends on size, weight and whether the price is EGP 350 or less. Storage is EGP 4 per cubic foot per month with a long-term surcharge after 365 days. From 1 November to 31 December 2026 Amazon is running a flat EGP 16 per unit FBA fee for fashion (softlines).

Easy Ship, where Amazon collects from you, is EGP 45.50 for a standard parcel up to 250 g, EGP 51 up to 500 g, EGP 53 up to 1 kg, EGP 57.50 up to 1.5 kg, then EGP 2 for each extra 500 g up to 22 kg; oversize is EGP 55.50 for the first kilogram plus EGP 2 per kg. You may charge the customer up to EGP 26 per shipment. If you ship with your own courier, Amazon charges no self-ship fulfilment fee.

FBA size tier	Price EGP 350 or less	Price above EGP 350
Small envelope, up to 0.1 kg	EGP 19.50	EGP 24.50
Large envelope, up to 1 kg	EGP 21.00	EGP 26.00

Worked example: an EGP 800 pair of shoes

At the standard 15% the referral fee on EGP 800 is EGP 120, or EGP 136.80 with 14% VAT; at the 12% promotional rate it is EGP 96, EGP 109.44 with VAT. Shipped by FBA as a standard parcel above EGP 350 the fulfilment fee is EGP 37.50, EGP 42.75 with VAT. You receive about EGP 620 at the standard rate or EGP 648 at the promotional one, before storage and cost of goods. Shipping the pair yourself removes the fulfilment fee entirely, but your courier's rate replaces it.

Amazon publishes no refund administration fee for Egypt; expect its global structure of a share of the original fees retained on refunds.

Who can register

Amazon's Egypt onboarding asks for a valid national or resident ID of the owner or representative, an email, an active mobile number, and an Egyptian tax registration number with a copy of the tax card or VAT certificate, to be supplied within 90 days of registering. Companies add the commercial registration naming the owner or general manager and a letter of authorisation for representatives. The bank account must be in Egypt. Together these mean Amazon.eg is in practice open to Egypt-resident individuals and Egyptian-registered businesses; Amazon publishes no cross-border route into Egypt comparable to its India programme for the UAE and Saudi stores.

Payouts go to the Egyptian bank account on file after fees; no cadence is published. For receiving money from foreign marketplaces as an Egyptian seller, including PayPal's EGP 125 bank withdrawal fee and the Payoneer position, see getting paid.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a monthly fee to sell on Amazon.eg?

Not currently. Professional accounts are listed with no monthly subscription fee for a limited time, and no per-item Individual plan is published.

Can a seller outside Egypt sell on Amazon.eg?

Amazon's published requirements are an Egyptian national or resident ID, an Egyptian tax registration number within 90 days, and an Egyptian bank account. No cross-border programme into Amazon.eg is published, so in practice the store is for Egypt-resident sellers.

What is the referral fee on clothing on Amazon.eg?

15% standard. Amazon ran a 12% promotional rate for apparel, luggage and shoes from 15 December 2025 to 30 June 2026 and was still printing it when we read the page.

Does Amazon.eg charge a fee if I ship orders myself?

No. The pricing page states Amazon does not charge any self-ship fulfilment fee; you pay only the referral fee plus VAT and your own courier.

How much VAT is added to Amazon.eg fees?

Amazon adds the applicable VAT to all fees. Egypt's standard rate is 14%, so an EGP 100 fee is billed at EGP 114.
