Add-On Items - How are they funded?
Hi,
We’ve recently discovered that some of our small and light products are being offered as Add-on Items with Amazon. Does anyone know who funds this? For example, our SNL product is £4.49 but the Add-On version is being sold by Amazon at £3.58. Is this funded by Amazon? Do we still get the revenue we would have received if it had sold at £4.49 or is there something in the Ts&Cs we haven’t seen?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Small and light items are never add on items.
An add on item, is usually something that is being sold as full FBA. Supposedly, once it goes below the £20 threshold, it becomes an add on item. But this is patently untrue, as I have seen things as low as £2 with full FBA, but not add on. It’s a very strange situation.
So the difference in your items, and those sold as add on’s, will be a difference in the fees paid.
For S&L, it’s either 60p or 80p depending on the item and for FBA, it’s likely to be more in the region of £2, depending on size/weight.

Ok - if it’s an FBA item that Amazon have decided to list, I can only assume they’ve purchased the item from their own stock or purchased it directly from us as a seller. We have no wholesale distribution - we’re the publisher, and brand owner, of the product and only seller of the products. Therefore, they can only buy the item from us directly which I guess is a win win situation. I can’t think there is any other way the item can be purchased unless there are a small number of returns which Amazon are offering as Add-ons to clear the stock.
Thanks for the input - if anyone else has any thoughts on this, we’d welcome them.
