E620: Breaking Down the New FBA 2026 Fee Increases

In this episode of the Ecomcrew Podcast, Dave breaks down Amazon's newly announced FBA fee schedule for 2026, explaining how the changes will impact sellers. He highlights that while Amazon downplays the increases, fees are actually rising significantly, especially for small standard-size items and higher-priced products (over $50), particularly in categories like health, beauty, and fashion. Dave discusses the new pricing tiers (under $10, $10-$50, and over $50) and their corresponding fee structures, noting that large standard items are less affected. He also covers changes to bulky item fees, the elimination of the "ships in its own packaging" discount, increased placement fees, and rising AWD and multi-channel fulfillment fees. Dave advises sellers to consider shipping to multiple fulfillment centers, optimizing master carton sizes, and bracing for potential price increases due to tariffs.
