Amazon Seller Fulfillment Fee Changes in 2023
Sellers have been through it all: COVID, supply chain bottlenecks, and labor market challenges, but overall continue to achieve great success. In 2021, over 3.8 billion products were sold by US-based sellers on Amazon. That’s 7,400 products per minute, and during that time, US fulfillment capacity for Amazon more than doubled.
There are a variety of types of Amazon seller fees that you might have to pay when you sell products on Amazon:
- FBA fees
- Fuel and inflation surcharge
- Referral fees
- Minimum referral fees
- Closing fees
- Storage fees
Fees vary based on the type of seller, item category, and price of sale.
On January 17, 2023, the change will impact the following fulfillment fees: FBA outbound fee, Apparel products, off-peak storage fees, storage utilization surcharge, a surcharge on inventory stored between 180-270 days, and removal and disposal fees.
It is important to note that Amazon has removed the separate Fuel & Inflation Surcharge, and that cost is now seen in standard FBA fee rates instead.
The following section will break down the general changes to fees and any additional call-outs. For a full breakdown of the 2023 U.S. FBA fulfillment fee changes, check out Amazon’s Seller Central article.
