All my FBA items are under £10 many under £5 & my fees average 58% but Ive been doing this a long time and make it work.

Selling anything under £5 my buying cost needs to be under 30p & Ive always managed to make a net margin of 25 to 50%.

Any sellers that have stock units under £20. After payment settlement my fee's are over 50% of all sales this amount just appears outragous?

If any sellers can help with this or if there is something that can be done to reduce these fees. I have seen there is an enrolment fee of £25 to lower costs yet whenever i try to enrol i get a error page, secondly trying to talk to Amazon support is almost impossible or generic replys.

Spoken to a few other sellers who are all paying less than me when it comes to UPS partnered rates on amazon for inbound shipments wondering what others are paying for a 20-23kg Parcel atm, mine is £6.28 for a parcel that is 21.8kg & 40 x 60 x 50

In the last few days, it feels like Amazon has started prioritising price far more aggressively than delivery speed when awarding the Featured Offer.

As an FBA seller, one of the main advantages used to be faster shipping. In many cases, that seemed to justify being a few pounds higher than slower offers. Recently, though, I’m seeing the opposite. Even when my offer is FBA and another seller’s delivery is slower, I’m still losing the Buy Box over differences as small as 40–50 pence.

If this is really how the system is working now, it seems to remove one of the main advantages of using FBA in the first place. FBA is already becoming harder and harder to justify because of reimbursement problems, poor packaging, high return rates, and rising fees. If faster delivery no longer gives sellers a meaningful advantage, then what exactly is the point of paying for FBA?

Has anyone else noticed the same change recently?

I have reported a company/ competitor that is using QR codes to manipulate reviews and bribe customers to buy from a site other than Amazon. However, there is no option to add images, and no one has asked me for any. They were taken down temporarily, but I bought the product again after they came back on to check, and the QR and review solicitation were still there. I also reported their duplicate listings to evade bad reviews, and they WERE removed. I don't understand why Amazon doesn't seem interested in the QR codes taking customers off Amazon and soliciting reviews. It is a very obvious manipulation; all you have to do is scan the QR, and it takes you right to a link offering 50% off or free merchandise for a review on Amazon. Does anyone have any insight into this? Maybe I did something wrong in the reporting?

*I am posting from an account for a completely different company I work for because I don't want the competitor to see it was me, as I don't trust them not to sabotage my account, as they clearly have no regard for policy.
