Amazon says FBA fees are going up 19 cents per unit in 2027
That number is a decoy
Averages are where bad news hides
Break the increase down by price band and it looks very different
Standard size products priced $10 to $50 go up 40 cents per unit
Above $50
they go up 70 cents
Under $10
they go up 20 cents
Twenty cents sounds small
until it lands on a product
that already has thin margins
Then it eats your profit one unit at a time
The fuel and logistics surcharge Amazon
added in April stays in place for 2027
Treat it as a permanent cost and plan around it
Promotions are getting more expensive too
Buy X Get Y deals now carry an upfront fee plus a variable fee
Promo that broke even this year can lose money next year
Return processing fees also change to match the new size tiers
Listings with high return rates get charged twice
There is one bright spot
Bulky and oversized products move into more detailed size tiers
and some heavy items could end up paying less
Read the full fee schedule before you assume you lose
In chess player who reacts to a move
after it's made has already given up the advantage
The fee change is announced
You can see the next move
Reprice before the new rates take effect
Cut promos that don't pay for themselves
Fix the listings that drive returns
Sellers who trust the average
will find out what it cost them
in their first 2027 settlement report
Amazon raised the fees
It's up to you whether that comes out
of your margin or goes into your price
