Sellers, please take a look! Amazon has made several fee adjustments!

According to Amazon's announcement, starting April 1, 2024, Amazon will charge a low inventory level fee for standard-size products whose inventory levels are consistently lower than buyer demand.

Specifically, when a product’s long-term historical supply days in the past 90 days and its short-term historical supply days in the past 30 days are both less than 28 days (i.e., 4 weeks), the platform charges a low inventory level fee for the product.

This fee is charged per unit shipped, with tiered rates based on size and historical days of supply for standard -sized units.

- Small standard size items cost between $0.32-$0.89;

- Large standard-size items (up to 3 pounds) are charged between $0.36 and $0.97;

- Large standard-size items (3-20 lbs) will cost between $0.47-$1.11.

Recently, Amazon announced that there will be a one-month transition period for the collection of low inventory level fees. All low inventory fees collected between April 1 and April 30 will be refunded in May.

Starting May 1, Amazon will charge low inventory fees based on size segmentation, shipping weight and historical supply days, and no refunds will be given. This adjustment has a greater impact on seasonal products .

According to the new rules: "Low inventory level fees will only be charged if the long-term historical supply days (past 90 days) and short-term historical supply days (past 30 days) of the product are both less than 28 days."

Therefore, sellers need to ensure that at least one of the supply days (long or short) is more than 28 days to avoid paying this fee.
