More questions about amazon payments, please

Hello, and let me apologize for asking this here. But the Amazon website is a mess. I don’t know if they are having problems with their site, or the fact that I stopped in the middle of the process. But I got an email from them that made no sense whatsoever. Anyway, is there a monthly fee for using Amazon Payments, or do they only charge you when a purchase is made. Also, if you know, how much do they charge you when someone uses Amazon Payments? Do they charge the seller or the buyer? Again, I apologize for asking for Amazon help here, but I’ve tried all I know to get some simple answers, and it’s just now working. I really do appreciate your help!

Pay with Amazon fees are transaction-based and have a processing and authorization component. The Transaction fee is composed of a domestic processing fee of 2.9% and an authorization fee of $0.30, plus tax where applicable, charged when the purchase is successfully authorized and processed.

For example, if a $10 transaction is made on your website, your total transaction fee would be $.59.

There is no monthly fee to pay. Fees are paid by the Seller per transaction. It pretty much works like Paypal.

Good luck!

I appreciate your help! Two days trading emails with Amazon, and they still haven’t given me an answer. Maybe they should hire you!

Ha ha ha!!! Good one!

I thought Amazon payments had something in their terms buried somewhere that they dont release the payment to you (the seller) until AFTER the item is shipped???
I dont use Amazon Payments because of this but remember reading something about it being like that.

I am not going to ship any item until I have the funds in my account or in hand if it is a money order.
