Amazon released its 2027 FBA fee changes today. The average increase they list is $0.19 per unit, but that hides the true cost increases. Save this post to review all the changes below.
Small standard-size products priced over $50 go up $0.70 per unit, products between $10 and $50 go up $0.40, and products under $10 go up $0.20.
Automotive, compact appliances, computers, musical instruments, and media no longer qualify for low-price FBA rates. Anything under $10 in those categories now pays the $10 to $50 rate card.
Bulky products move from two size tiers to four, and extra-large moves to six. The overmax handling fee is being removed and replaced with flat-product and overhang handling fees.
For the last few years most of Amazon’s fee changes were designed to change seller behavior, with inbound placement fees to spread inventory across regions, low-inventory fees to keep stock levels up, and utilization surcharges to keep storage lean.
The 2027 changes are mostly about charging each product closer to what it costs Amazon to handle it. A light item sitting in a bulky tier will pay less, a heavy awkward item will pay more.
The low-inventory-level fee is also changing on February 1. Right now it’s based on trailing 30 and 90 day sales. In 2027 it only applies if you’re under 28 days of supply, measured on shipments in the four weeks before and the four weeks after the assessment. A demand spike or an end-of-season product shouldn’t trigger it anymore.
The storage utilization surcharge is going away, and the aged inventory surcharge is being combined with monthly storage into a single rate based on age. Inventory that turns in under six months pays the same or less, inventory that sits longer pays more.
Most of this takes effect January 15, 2027. There’s a new Fee Change Comparison dashboard in Profit Analytics that shows the impact by account and by ASIN.
A few things worth doing before January:
Run the Fee Change Comparison dashboard and sort by largest per-unit increase. Those are the ASINs that may need a pricing or packaging change.
Re-measure anything bulky or oversize. The new tiers are based on weight and dimensions, and a packaging change can move a product into a cheaper tier.
Check sub-$10 products in the excluded categories. Computer accessories, car parts, and media under $10 are moving to the higher rate card.
Clear aged inventory now. The age-based storage rate starts February 1, and removal and liquidation fees are also changing.
Look at Buy X Get Y promotions. They now carry a $5 upfront fee plus 2% of sales, in line with coupons and deals.
