Amazon Simplifies Fees, Boosting Growth Opportunities for Amazon Sellers
Great news, Amazon sellers! Amazon has just released its 2025 updates to US Referral and Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) fees, and there's plenty to be excited about. Shared on Seller Central, the update focuses on simplicity, stability, and new incentives designed to support your business growth in the coming year.
No Increase in Referral and FBA Fees
First and foremost, Amazon has announced that there will be no increases in US referral and FBA fees for 2025. In a time when inflation is affecting many businesses, this decision comes as a relief. Amazon recognizes the challenges sellers face and aims to minimize operational burdens and costs.
Lower Inbound Placement Service Fees for Large Bulky Products
Starting January 15, 2025, sellers will benefit from lower inbound placement service fees for large, bulky-size products. On average, you can expect a reduction of $0.58 per unit for minimal shipment splits. If you deal with large items, your costs to send products to Amazon fulfillment centers will decrease, helping improve your margins.
Waived Inbound Placement Fees for New FBA New Selection Products
Amazon is encouraging sellers to add new products to their catalogs. Amazon will waive the inbound placement service fee for new parent ASINs that qualify for the FBA New Selection Program. This waiver applies to shipments created between December 1, 2024, and March 31, 2025, and is valid for up to 100 inbounded units per new parent ASIN. It's a fantastic opportunity to expand your product range without extra fees.
Enhanced Incentives for Adding New Selection
To further support growth, Amazon is introducing more incentives for adding certain new selections to the store. The New Seller Incentives and FBA New Selection programs will offer greater fee discounts starting January 15, 2025. These time-bound discounts will focus on:
- Everyday essentials
- Products with high customer demand but lower selection breadth
- Popular brands where customers desire greater global availability
These discounts will be regularly updated and can be found on the Seller Benefits page for eligible sellers and products. It's an excellent chance to tap into high-demand markets and expand your customer base.
