Professional sellers are eligible to enrol in FBA New Selection. If you’ve 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’ll remain eligible until the next yearly 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’ll be removed from the programme.

If you have enrolled but aren’t eligible for the programme benefits because your IPI score is below 400, you’ll become eligible if your IPI score is 400 or higher on the next daily IPI assessment date, even if it comes before the yearly eligibility assessment on April 1.

Enrolled sellers must be eligible for the programme on the date that their first new-to-FBA ASIN was 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 be eligible to receive the 5% sales rebate, you must complete Brand Registry and be identified as a Brand owner on the Brand benefit eligibility page. The rebate will only be applied to branded new selection where you are the Brand owner. While this rebate may not stack with other bonuses offered by Amazon, including the New Seller Incentives bonus, we will always award you the more favourable bonus to you. You can learn more by going to New Seller Incentives.

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.

What is Brand Registry and how can I enrol?

Enrolling in Amazon Brand Registry unlocks a suite of tools designed to help you build and protect your brand, creating a better experience for customers. Go to Brand Registry to learn more about their eligibility requirements and application process.

Can I receive both the New Selection 5% rebate and the New Seller Incentives bonus?

For new brand owners, the New Seller Incentives bonus will apply first. You can receive the New Seller Incentives bonus for one year after eligibility is determined or for your first £800,000 in branded sales, whichever comes first. Afterwards, you will qualify for the FBA New Selection rebate.

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.

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.
