bol.com Seller Fees
Complete fee breakdown with interactive calculator — updated July 2026
Fee Overview
Listing on bol.com is free: there is no monthly subscription of any kind. You only pay when you sell. The commission per item sold consists of a small fixed amount per article (varies by category and price, roughly €0–1, typically around €0.85) plus a variable percentage of the sale price including VAT, ranging from 7% to 15% by category.
On top of the commission, bol.com charges a fixed shipping contribution (verzendbijdrage) per parcel: €1.96 for a mailbox parcel, €2.95 for a small parcel (up to 23 kg), €4.25 for a large parcel (23–31.5 kg), and €5.95 for an extra large parcel. For low-priced items, this contribution significantly impacts margins; for higher-priced products, the percentage-based commission is the dominant cost.
bol.com also offers LvB (Logistiek via bol.com) fulfillment, similar to Amazon's FBA, with separate, optional fees for storage, picking, and shipping.
