Amazon Fees

Options
I want to sell books on Amazon as a private seller. I cannot find how much this will cost me either on their website or on Google. I have found info on USA fees but of course they may be different to here. Has anyone got a link for UK Amazon fees ?

    Link above works, although the prices are exclusive of VAT, so you'll need to add 20%.
    For books you pay 15% of the selling price plus 90p. That's total fee including payment.
    If you pay £30 per month they waive the 90p charge and just charge a straight 15% fee.
    You also need to check postage, for an individual seller Amazon force you to charge a flat postage rate.
