From april 7th amazon increases closing fee on self ship order by 7 times for self ship orders
From April 7th sellers doing self ship of low value items will have to pay significanly more. making it unviable to sell on amazon. Selfship is used by sellers from remote areas where easy ship is not available. This change is done to push sellers to use easy ship but easy ship is not available in all pincodes.

Easy ship charges are high. Pick up boys don't come regularly. Many sellers use easy ship because of this. Amazon wants us to use easy ship but its a big problem as the delivery charges for local are too high and they don't come to pick up the packages.

This going to effect my business also.. i depend of 100rs profit on each order but now its going to take another 35 rupees.. this will effect all the small scale sellers.. Amazon should reconsider to take this back.

The Closing Fees is ridiculous and thoughtless. Even if I sell a book of Rs. 40, I need to give amazon 45 rupees + GST as Closing Fees + Referral Fees. Amazon has started a loot with this change in strategy. Somebody from Flipkart might have given this idea to them. This is definitely affecting many sellers. Hope they reverse this back.

This is just an eyewash for new sellers. Increasing closing fees by 5 times for self ship orders means that they don't want you to use self ship... Amazon should reconsider this closing fees
