increase in Fullfilment base fee question
hi new seller here, im doing fba and im confused on my fullfilment fees on my first listing, one day i can sell 1 unit and have the "normal" base fullfilment fee, and the next day the fee can increase 50%, is this normal? tried to do reports and analitys to see any diference but did not find any, keep in mind i dont have any special packaging fee requested. Also one day the base fee also was cut in half , usualy the fee % increase the more units an order have.
30 month avg is on point with the fees, but last week i sold more units and had less profit than the first week of this month with less units sold

Unless Amazon is giving some FBA fee credits (sometimes they do to entice new sellers), the FBA fee you pay will be the same for every unit of the ASIN you sell. It doesn't change. Now, you could be hit with other fees like inbound inventory placement fee, low-inventory fee, label fee, etc.

Hey there @Seller_t2U29CF0Yrd2Wand thanks for joining us here on the forums.
There was a recent change in April of this year around FBA inbound placement service fees, which essentially is how Amazon designates Fulfillment Center locations for your shipments as different locations have different capabilities, in order to place inventory closest to the customer.
Is there any possibility variations in shipments leading to changes placement fee charges help explain the variation you are seeing?
