Shipping Credits for Individual Sellers
Note: This help page does not apply to sellers in the Professional Selling Plan.
When an order is shipped, you will receive a credit for standard shipping. Amazon sets the shipping fee based on the product category and the shipping method selected by the customer, and then deposits the corresponding amount from the customer into your account.
You must ship the order even if the shipping credit is less than your total shipping cost. For more information, see Configure Shipping Rates and Restrictions and Manage Inventory.
