You will get the first £80 when you enrol and launch a campaign with no end date for an FBA ASIN. You will get the second £80 if you advertise an FBA ASIN for at least 30 days. ASINs do not have to be new to FBA to get this benefit. Any unused promotional clicks will expire 30 days after they have been applied.
• £80 discount on shipping (new FBA sellers only): If you are new to FBA and you enrol in FBA New Selection, we will waive the first £80 in charges for Amazon partnered carrier shipping. ASINs do not have to be new to FBA to get this discount.

Professional sellers are eligible to enrol in FBA New Selection. If you have been assigned an Inventory Performance Index (IPI) score, you must have a score of 400 or higher to qualify for the programme. If you are a new Professional seller or have yet to be assigned an IPI score, you can also enrol in the programme and receive the programme’s benefits.

To get the benefits, you must maintain eligibility after enrolment. Your eligibility status will be updated daily, based on your IPI score.

You will remain eligible until the next assessment, on April 1, even if your IPI score changes before that date. If your IPI score is below 400 as of April 1, you will be removed from the programme.

If you have enrolled but are not eligible for the programme benefits because your IPI score is below 400, you will become eligible if your IPI score is 400 or higher on the next daily assessment date.

Enrolled sellers must be eligible for the programme on the date that their first new-to-FBA ASIN is received at the fulfilment centre in order for that ASIN to qualify for the programme’s free monthly storage, free removals and free return processing benefits.

To receive the first £80 in sponsored ads promotional clicks, you must enrol in FBA New Selection and complete the following:

• List a product eligible for FBA within 60 days of enrolment.
• Set up a sponsored ads campaign with no end date manually for the newly listed ASIN within 30 days of launching an FBA product.

To receive the second £80 in sponsored ads promotional clicks, you must advertise an FBA ASIN for at least 30 days.

Standard-size and oversize (including small, medium and large oversize, but not special oversize) ASINs are eligible for the programme.

Parent ASINs must be new to FBA in the UK.

ASINs in Media categories and used items are not eligible. Media categories are Books, DVDs, Music, Software & Computer/Video Games, Video, Video Game Consoles and Video Game Accessories.

Only clothing, shoes and handbags ASINs are eligible for free returns processing.

For more details, refer to the Programme terms and conditions section below.

Am I limited to sending 50 or fewer units to fulfilment centres?

No, you can send in as many units as you like. However, only the first 50 units of each eligible standard-size ASIN and 30 units of each oversize ASIN that are received at fulfilment centres will qualify for the fee waivers.

I am a new FBA seller. If the charge is less than £80 for my first shipment to fulfilment centres, will the rest of the discount be applied to later shipments?

Yes. We will waive Amazon partnered carrier shipping fees for you until you reach the £80 threshold. The discount only applies to charges on deliveries to fulfilment centres through the Amazon Partnered Carrier programme.

Can I test an ASIN in one European marketplace if it already exists in a different one?

No. The ASINs that you create must be new to FBA in the UK to be eligible for this programme. ASINs that already exist and are sold through FBA in the UK are not eligible

If my ASINs are EAN exempt or do not have an EAN number, will they still qualify for the programme?

Yes, if the created ASINs meet all the eligibility criteria and adhere to the ASIN creation policy, they will qualify to get the benefits.
