Amazon recently announced their 2025 updates for FBA and referral fees, and there’s excellent news for sellers: no increases for FBA or referral fees in the U.S. This marks a shift toward stability and growth, providing sellers predictable costs to manage their businesses effectively. Here’s everything you need to know.

Key Amazon FBA Fee Highlights for 2025

No Increase in U.S. FBA and Referral Fees

Sellers can breathe a sigh of relief as the base fees remain unchanged for the upcoming year.

Lower Fees for Bulky Items

Amazon has reduced inbound placement service fees for large, bulky products by an average of $0.58 per unit for minimal shipment splits. This change takes effect on January 15, 2025.

New ASINs Benefit from Waived Placement Fees

For sellers introducing new parent ASINs under the FBA New Selection Program, Amazon waives inbound placement service fees for up to the first 100 inbounded units per new parent ASIN (effective December 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025).

Fee Discounts for High-Demand Products

Amazon is rolling out more incentives for everyday essentials, high-demand items, and underrepresented product categories. Starting January 15, 2025, these targeted discounts aim to enhance global availability and boost seller success.

What Does This Mean for Sellers?

The unchanged fees offer predictability, allowing sellers to focus on growth rather than adjusting to fluctuating costs. Furthermore, the reduced costs for bulky and new ASINs provide opportunities to expand product offerings while keeping margins intact.
