What happened?
Amazon Seller Central published an explanation of the 2026 Referral and FBA fee adjustments for the U.S. marketplace, covering FBA-related fulfillment and storage fees. The announcement states that after the FBA fee adjustment, the average cost per unit will increase by approximately $0.08, an increase of less than 0.5% of the average product selling price.
The adjustment does not change the overall stability of Referral fees and FBA base rates in the U.S. marketplace. The main changes concern FBA fulfillment and storage fee items. Amazon summarized the changes using averages, while the specific fees still need to be calculated based on product size, weight, fulfillment method, and storage conditions. The fee information is intended for sellers using Amazon fulfillment services in the U.S. marketplace.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
The adjustment has a limited impact on individual units, but small cost changes can be amplified for high-volume, low-margin products. A common mistake is to look only at the average increase instead of reviewing profitability by product size and storage period. Top priority: update your U.S. FBA fee sheet this week and recalculate margins for products with the thinnest margins and highest sales.
