new listing extremely high estimated FBA fees
Hello,
I just created a new listing. The product is a kitchen item organizer that will be shipped compact but assembled by the customers. When creating the listing, the dimension of the package are the dimension of the shipping box, and for dimension of the item I entered the dimension of the assembled product. Did the system use the dimension of the assembled product instead of the dimension of the package to calculate the estimated FBA fee? How do I resolve this issue? Do I delete this listing and create a new one?
Best,
Mandy

You are on the right track by paying attention to how much profit you can make by using FBA. Most new sellers don't and end up not making any profit at all.
Remember smart sellers always test sell their product for at least a month or so theirself, FBM. That way they know the salability of the product and how much profit they can receive. That way, sellers will know if there is enough profit in the product to pay all the fees Amazon will assess and still have their desired profit remaining for themselves.
FBA is cash cow for Amazon but most often not for the seller.

Hello there, my name is CR and wanted to hop in here really quick. It may very well be that they used the incorrect dimensions here.
This page does a great job helping to understanding item package weight and dimensions that may be of assistance here as well. Pulled from the above link:
What is a remeasurement request?
Fees for FBA services, such as fulfillment fees and storage fees, are based on item package weight and dimensions. If you believe that the item package weight or dimensions associated with your FNSKU are incorrect, you can submit a request for a remeasurement. We will locate a unit belonging to your inventory and remeasure it in one of our fulfillment centers. Your FNSKU’s updated weight and dimensions will apply across all stores within the region where we received your request.
Hope this helps!
