Hi Sellers!

Following on from our short FBA intro this post will give a brief outline of FBA fees.

In order to make the most of FBA it’s important to understand two core fees: Fulfilment fees and monthly inventory storage fees.

• Fulfilment fees are per unit fees for picking, packing, and shipping items to customers. These fees vary depending on an item’s size, weight, and category.
• Monthly inventory storage fees vary depending on the average daily volume of space your inventory occupies in fulfilment centres, product size-tiers, and the time of year. Check out the monthly storage fees report to view the estimated monthly inventory storage fees for each ASIN of your inventory in Amazon fulfilment centres.

There are also occasional fees that you need to be aware of:

• Long-term storage fees are assessed monthly for all items stored in a fulfilment centre for more than 331 days. You can generate a long-term storage fee report on this page: Long-Term Storage Fee Charges
• Returns processing fees are charged on orders when Amazon provides a customer with free return shipping.
• Removal order fees are charged when you have Amazon return or dispose of your inventory in a fulfilment centre for a per-item fee.
• Unplanned services fees are charged when inventory arrives at a fulfilment centre without proper preparation or labelling, making unplanned services required.

For additional fee information and product example fees please check this help page. You can also watch this video on Seller University, which explains everything surrounding FBA fees.

What advice would give to anyone who is unsure about using FBA?
