Amazon released their new FBA fees for 2026.
Keeping up with tradition, Amazon released it in the most confusing way possible. They also claim that their new fees only add 8 cents per unit sold of the average item selling price. This leaves sellers scrambling to calculate how their products and profit margins will be affected.
Luckily, Dave is breaking down these fees on a per size category level and how these will affect you as a seller, whether you sell small or oversized items.
Dave also breaks down the pricing increases for their different programs, namely Amazon's bulk storage program AWD and Multi Channel Fulfillment.
