What happened?
Amazon is running a Virtual Multipacks pilot in the US store. For some brand-owned FBA ASINs with strong demand for multipack purchases, Amazon will automatically create virtual multipack Listings for 2-packs, 3-packs, or larger quantities. The latest batch of virtual multipack products will be created by October 28, 2026. Sellers can view, edit, or delete them in Manage All Inventory, and the related detail pages are scheduled to begin selling to consumers on November 11.
The program does not require sellers to repackage products or send additional multipack inventory. Orders will continue to be fulfilled using the original single-unit SKU. For management, sellers may edit virtual multipacks only through the dedicated Edit Virtual Multipack page. They cannot be edited through templates, APIs, or other Seller Central pages, as doing so may cause Listing errors.
There is no additional virtual multipack fee, but each 2-pack sold will still incur fulfillment fees for two individual units. Brand Registry sellers, FBA sellers, and sellers in categories such as household goods, personal care, and food, where repeat purchases and multipack buying are common, are the main affected groups.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
Eligible brand-owned FBA ASINs in the US store may have 2-pack, 3-pack, or larger virtual multipack Listings created automatically. Sellers do not need to repackage products or send additional multipack inventory. Check Listing presentation, the editing interface, and fulfillment costs carefully, because a 2-pack order still incurs fulfillment fees for two individual units.
