What happened?
Amazon officially announced adjustments to U.S. marketplace referral fees and FBA fulfillment fees for 2026, covering the related costs sellers incur when selling products on the platform. According to the announcement, average FBA fulfillment fees per item will increase by about $0.08 in 2026, with the increase remaining below 0.5% of the average selling price.
Amazon also stated that no new FBA fee types will be introduced in 2026. The adjustment mainly involves existing marketplace and logistics fulfillment fees. Sellers will still need to calculate actual costs based on the specific product, fulfillment method, and applicable rates. The announcement did not indicate that all products would face identical fee changes; the exact amounts will depend on the applicable product category and the rate information in each seller account.
Amazon said the fee adjustments are related to changes in underlying operating, storage, and automation costs, while emphasizing that the overall increase would remain limited. U.S. sellers can use Amazon’s official fee information and revenue calculation tools to review changes applicable to their products.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
The adjustment means a slight increase in U.S. fulfillment costs, but no new items in the overall fee structure. Do not focus only on the per-unit increase and overlook the risk of margin compression for low-priced products. Highest-priority action: use Amazon’s Revenue Calculator this week to review key ASINs, and check packaging dimensions and inventory allocation.
