Amazon's referral fee updated?

[Rad]

Could someone explain this to me please... I got the email a few days ago and I don't get it. ...What do they even have a referral fee for... how does that work? Thanks!

It's for sellers. It says this on their page of fees:

Amazon deducts as a referral fee a percentage of (i) the item price, and (ii) any gift wrap charges, in each case excluding any taxes collected through Amazon tax collection services, plus a variable closing fee. Sellers who do not pay a monthly subscription fee also pay a per item fee for each item sold.

Thanks for the info StoryDreamer 

I don't use Amazon for much of anything so I wouldn't be of any help.
