Amazon published information about 2026 referral and FBA fee changes for U.S. sellers. Amazon’s notice is the authoritative source for the program details and effective dates; sellers should confirm how the rules apply to their own account and products.

Turn the notice into a decision list
Export the SKUs that represent the largest share of FBA units, revenue and contribution profit. For each, compare the current and expected fee structure with selling price, landed cost, advertising cost, returns and storage exposure. Do not use an average fee change as a substitute for the individual product calculation.
Three actions that may matter
- Check whether packaging or dimensions are creating avoidable fulfillment cost.
- Revisit low-margin variants before automatically raising every price.
- Review replenishment timing for inventory with slower turnover.
A fee change can affect selection strategy as much as pricing. The most valuable output is a ranked list of actions, not a broad reaction across the catalog.
