I would guess nothing
ICANN takes only 20 cents from domain registrations, even redemption's. But, in the past they have "suggested" to Registrars an $80 minimum. The fee is not an ICANN rule though and is at the Registrars discretion. Since it's such a hassle for the Registrar $80 is probably reasonable. Other than the standard 20 cents per year ICANN gets nothing.
So the $150 > $250 fees some Registrars charge are within their accreditation rights.
