What happened?
Amazon published information on FBA and related fee adjustments in its 2026 fee schedule for Amazon.com. According to the announcement, sellers using FBA on Amazon.com will see fulfillment fees increase by approximately $0.08 per item sold on average, with the overall rate increase kept below 0.5%. The adjustment follows a period in which the 2025 base referral and FBA rates remained stable and affects the fulfillment costs borne by sellers on Amazon.com. Amazon said it will reduce the impact of external inflationary costs on sellers through supply-chain efficiency improvements. The applicable fee changes are based on the specific rates published by the platform for different products and services, and sellers need to review the adjustments applicable to their own fulfillment situations.
What does this mean for cross-border sellers?
The slight increase in per-unit FBA fees on Amazon.com will first squeeze the margins of low-priced, high-volume products. Do not focus only on the per-unit amount while overlooking cumulative annual costs. Highest-priority action: this week, recalculate FBA, referral, advertising, and return costs by SKU, and screen products whose packaging dimensions are close to fee-tier boundaries.
