No, the monthly rent of Amazon stores is not deducted from the store balance, but is paid through bank cards such as credit cards or debit cards. The store balance is mainly used to pay for product sales expenses, advertising expenses, refunds and sales-related expenses1. After the merchant registers an Amazon account and chooses a professional selling plan, the first monthly store rent will be deducted immediately, and it will also be deducted at the beginning of each month thereafter.

For sellers who have no previous sales, the fees will be deducted from the credit card bound to the account. If the account generates sales and the balance reaches US$39.99 or more, it will be deducted from the account2. Amazon's new policy is that if the seller has stores in North America, Europe, Japan, and India, the monthly store rent will only be charged once, and there is no need to pay it repeatedly2.
