Good news! Amazon launches new plan, FBA fee is waived!

These changes will take effect on February 18, 2020 , unless otherwise stated.

Pepe looked around and concluded that Amazon had invested too much money in logistics, so it would have to slightly increase the delivery fee. Fortunately, the sales commission for some categories was reduced!

I believe that many sellers, like Pepe, are more concerned about the new product selection plan, so let’s talk about the product selection plan first.

It is understood that this plan originated from a previous plan launched by Amazon that provided free monthly storage and removal services for new Amazon ASINs, but the activity was restricted at the time. This time it is an enhanced version of the last one, called the FBA New Selection program.

Starting April 1, 2020, participants in the FBA New Select Program are eligible for free monthly storage, free removals, and free return processing for eligible new FBA ASINs. In addition, newcomers to FBA have the opportunity to receive a $100 discount on Amazon Partnered Carrier shipping.

So this plan is really good for new ASINs! The conditions for participation are also much more relaxed this time:

NOTE: The program begins on April 1, 2020 and sellers must enroll in the program before the date an ASIN first receives inventory at an Amazon fulfillment center in order for the ASIN to be eligible for the monthly storage, handling, and return processing fee waiver.

Details of the program are as follows:

Pepe reminds everyone:

1. This program is limited to parent ASINs newly added to FBA. A maximum of 500 ASINs can be created, but only the first 50 units of each qualified ASIN are eligible for fee reductions;

2. The $100 shipping discount is only available to new FBA sellers. This means that only sellers who have not used FBA services before are eligible, similar to the $50 fee reduction Amazon provides to sellers who have just started advertising services.

The sales commissions for the following categories of products will be adjusted:

1. Changes to core Amazon Logistics fulfillment fees (except for "Apparel" products)

Note: Lithium batteries and products containing or sold with lithium batteries will be subject to an additional shipping fee of $0.11 per item.

2. Changes to Amazon logistics delivery fees for "Apparel" products:

There are many expenses involved in 2020. Pepe focused on introducing the new FBA product selection plan, sales commission changes and logistics and distribution fee changes that everyone is more concerned about. For the remaining change plans, sellers can search in the background for " 2019 US Sales Commission and Amazon Logistics Fee Changes List " for details.

Although the commissions of some categories have decreased in this fee change, the overall sales costs of sellers have increased significantly as delivery costs, storage costs, removal costs, etc. have increased. Cost increases are an inevitable trend, which requires sellers to operate more refinedly and reasonably control costs in the future in order to better adapt to competition!
