What happened?
Amazon Seller Central published details of its 2026 adjustments to Referral and FBA fees in the U.S. marketplace. According to the notice, the platform is fine-tuning the relevant fee structure without increasing the previously established base fees. The changes cover selling commissions and Amazon Logistics fulfillment fees.
Following the adjustment, average fulfillment costs per unit will increase by approximately $0.08, while the overall fee increase will remain below 0.5% of product selling prices. Amazon linked the changes to adjustments in logistics network operations and the structure of fulfillment service costs.
The fee information applies to sellers using the relevant selling and FBA services in the U.S. marketplace. Actual fees will continue to depend on product category, dimensions, weight, selling price, and fulfillment method. The platform’s fee pages provide details of the applicable rates.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
The adjustment appears modest, but low-priced, heavy, and low-margin products will expose profitability issues more quickly. Recalculate costs by dimensions, weight, and fulfillment method rather than relying on the average increase. Highest priority: update the FBA fee table for core U.S. products this week and screen oversized and low-priced SKUs first.
