Hello,
This is what Amazon said: The typical DST rate is 2% in the UK and 3% in France, Italy, Spain and Canada. Since 2021, we’ve accounted for DST by increasing Selling on Amazon fees in the UK, France, Italy and Spain, and Fulfilment by Amazon fees in the UK and France. Starting on October 1, we’ll reduce these fees and account for this cost by introducing a stand-alone digital services fee.
In my case this statement seems false.
Amazon is charging me the Digital Service Fee on top of what I used to pay.
Look at the example below:
My FBA fees were already 3€ and my comission was aready 3,30€ before they intoroduced the Digital Service Fee. They were not reduced to account for the introduction of the Digital Service Fee!
Now I am paying 3€+3.30€+ 0.19€ = 6.49€ (excluding taxes)
Whereas before the Digital Service Fee I would pay 3€+3.30€ = 6.30€ (excluding taxes)
I now pay 0.19€ more than I used to!
Have I misunderstood when Amazon said "we’ll reduce these fees and account for this cost by introducing a stand-alone digital services fee." ?
They didn't reduce the fees, they just added another layer to my fees. Anyone else expericing the same issue? I have this on all my transactions...
Please help!
