Update to Amazon Europe referral and FBA fees, starting March 31, 2022
As we all get ready to delight customers in 2022, we would like to thank you for once again putting your trust in Amazon to power your business last year. Despite the ongoing challenges everyone has faced with COVID, supply chain bottlenecks, and a challenging labour market, sellers like you have continued to thrive in Amazon’s European stores. Third-party sellers sold more than 3.4 billion products in Amazon European stores alone—and we welcomed more than 130,000 new sellers. We are inspired by your efforts and are proud to have supported you during this time with significant investments in our fulfilment and delivery network, and through powerful new tools and services.
Since the start of the pandemic, we’ve more than doubled our fulfilment capacity across Europe, spent over €1.9 billion across our fulfilment network to help keep employees safe. We opened more than 250 new fulfilment centres, sortation centres, regional air hubs and delivery stations in Europe to ensure that we are able to quickly receive your inventory and deliver your products to customers. In 2021, we offered more than 250 new tools for sellers, and our teams are working hard to innovate further. We are building a range of programmes and services, from FBA New Selection to recovery services (Liquidations and Grade and Resell), to help you expand your selection, reduce costs and grow your business.
Throughout the pandemic, we have worked to support you—postponing and keeping fee changes low, reducing or eliminating select fees like those for customer returns, and absorbing billions of dollars in increased costs on your behalf—all while making significant and necessary investments in people, technology, transportation and infrastructure. As you’ve seen widely reported in the press and have likely experienced yourselves, costs are rising and we now need to make adjustments to this year’s fee structure in response. We will adjust our fees to partially offset the higher permanent operating costs we face going forward.

Cost are rising…
You have increased costs…
We are increasing fees…
…we have worked to support you…
You can’t increase prices, because we are not increasing the Small and Light upper limit in the UK.

Why the upper limit for Small and Light UK has not been upped to £9.99 is a bit of a joke!

I weep. I really do

What a joke!
You reduced our restock limits while actively advertising for, and signing up, the largest number of new sellers EVER within a single year.
This didn’t reduce my costs and help me to grow my business. It had the exact opposite effect.
And because you STILL refuse to increase my limit, despite having perfect metrics and an IPI score in the green, my cost are going to be more from now on.
And then after doing all that you have the gaul to make out your doing me a favour while charging me extra for the ‘priviledge’.
You people are something else.

Delight customers? I assume you mean by that those who take advantage of free goods that are under 25 euros? Trive in Amazons Euro stores I have been forced to remove thousands of listings from the Eurozones due to your free goods under 25 euros policy. sellers have pulled out of your eurozones due to your behaviour nothing to do with Covid supply chains. Do you really beive further rises in fees will entice them back? you probably do.

They seem to have forgotten their massive increase in profits during the pandemic.
I cannot see how they can justify any increase in fees. In fact fees should be reduced across the board.
