Amazon fee change · January 15, 2027
Amazon's FBA fees rise on January 15. Two more dates come with them.
Amazon announced its 2027 fee update on November 5, 2026. FBA fulfillment fees go up by $0.19 per unit on average from January 15, 2027. A new bundle rule starts four days earlier, on January 11, and storage fees change on February 1. Each change is below with its date and what it does to your margin.
This page is one entry in the fee change tracker, the standing log of marketplace and carrier changes. The figures and dates are from Amazon's own announcement of November 5, 2026 and Amazon's Seller Central post on the bundle rule. Both were read on November 11, 2026.
Before you repriceResearch first, then set the new price
A fee rise lands on every unit, so the price question matters more than the fee question: can your listings carry a higher price, and what are buyers paying for products like yours? Sellers who also sell on Etsy run that research with eRank for search terms and EverBee for product research and sales estimates. The full side by side is on the Etsy research tools page. For the Amazon side of the math, the calculator further down this page runs your own products.

Who it fits: sellers repricing ahead of January, on Amazon or across marketplaces.
The short version
- January 11, 2027, bundles: most product bundles sold as a single ASIN must be packaged by the original manufacturer or brand. Bundles that miss the rule after that date are deactivated and count as listing violations.
- January 15, 2027, fulfillment: FBA fulfillment fees rise by $0.19 per unit on average, about 0.8 percent of the average item's selling price. Some products go up by more. Others go down.
- February 1, 2027, storage: the storage utilization surcharge ends. The aged inventory surcharge is folded into monthly storage as one rate set by how old the stock is. Stock that sells within six months pays the same or less.
- No change: the FBA fuel and logistics surcharge stays where it is. Amazon introduced it in April 2026 and says it will keep reviewing it.
January 15, 2027 · FulfillmentThe $0.19 average, and why your number will differ
Amazon set the new fulfillment fees product by product, to bring each fee closer to what that product costs to handle. The headline figure is an average across everything sold: $0.19 more per unit, about 0.8 percent of the average item's selling price. Amazon is clear in its own announcement that the average is not your rate. Fees for some products will increase, and others will decrease.
The average is still the right size for a first budget pass. At 500 units a month, $0.19 a unit is $95 a month. At 1,000 units it is $190 a month, $2,280 a year. That money comes off margin unit by unit, so a thin product feels it first.
For the figure on your own products, Amazon built a Fee Change Comparison dashboard inside Profit Analytics in Seller Central. It shows the change at account level and product by product. The Revenue Calculator in Seller Central models a single product. Run your top sellers through one of those two before you set January prices, then check the result against the Amazon fee calculator on this site.
Who it hits: every FBA seller. Merchant fulfilled sellers do not pay fulfillment fees and skip this change.
| Units sold per month | Added cost per month at the $0.19 average | Added cost per year |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | $19.00 | $228.00 |
| 500 | $95.00 | $1,140.00 |
| 1,000 | $190.00 | $2,280.00 |
| 5,000 | $950.00 | $11,400.00 |
The $0.19 figure is Amazon's average across all units sold, from its November 5, 2026 announcement. Your products will sit above or below it. The unchanged fuel and logistics surcharge comes on top of fulfillment fees, as it does today.

January 11, 2027 · BundlesMost bundles must come from the brand itself
From January 11, 2027, most product bundles listed as a single ASIN must be packaged by the original manufacturer or brand. A kit you put together yourself, from products made by other companies, no longer fits the rule on its own. Amazon says the change is about bundles being genuine and safe for buyers.
Three kinds of bundles stay allowed without brand packaging. Authorized repackaged products: you hold a letter of authorization from the brand owner or manufacturer that allows repackaging with the other brands in the bundle, and you can upload it in your Account Health dashboard if a bundle is flagged. Exempt categories: bundles in gifting browse nodes and camera product types. Virtual bundles: bundles built with the Virtual Bundles tool by brand owners and authorized resellers are not packaged together, so the rule does not reach them.
The same post loosens other parts of the policy. Bundles are now allowed in Books, Music, Video, DVD, and Video Game categories, bundles can include secondary generic products or service plans, and bundles can include gift cards. Multi-brand bundles in Consumables are allowed with letters of authorization.
The cost of missing the date is the listing itself. Amazon will deactivate bundles that are still noncompliant after January 11, record them as listing violations on your Account Health dashboard, and email you. You can sell noncompliant stock before January 11, so the work is an audit of every bundle ASIN you hold, done while there is still time to sell through, get a letter, or move the offer to a virtual bundle.
Who it hits: sellers with self-assembled kits or multi-brand bundles under one ASIN.
February 1, 2027 · StorageOne storage rate, set by the age of your stock
Storage gets simpler on February 1, 2027. The storage utilization surcharge ends, which Amazon says will make it easier to stock up ahead of busy periods. The aged inventory surcharge goes away as a separate charge and is combined with monthly storage fees into a single rate based on age. Inventory that sells within six months pays the same or less under the new rate. Older inventory pays more.
The low-inventory-level fee changes on the same date. Today Amazon works it out from your trailing 30 and 90 day sales. From February 1, the fee applies only when your inventory falls below 28 days of supply, worked out from shipments in the four weeks before the assessment date and the four weeks after it. Amazon says the wider window separates a real stock problem from a short demand spike or the end of a product's run.
Who it hits: sellers who hold stock at FBA for months at a time, and sellers who have been charged the low-inventory fee after a spike.
Sources and how this entry is kept
The January 15 and February 1 changes, the $0.19 average, and the surcharge position are from Amazon's own announcement, Update to US Referral and Fulfillment by Amazon fees for 2027, published November 5, 2026 and read on November 11, 2026. The bundle rule, its exceptions, and its enforcement are from Amazon's Seller Central post, New requirements for product bundles starting January 11, read the same day. Amazon's announcement points to a longer fee summary inside Seller Central for product-level rates. This page prints the figures Amazon published openly and sends you to Seller Central for the rest, rather than filling the gaps from other sites.
This entry sits in the fee change tracker alongside every other change in the log, including the Etsy Share & Save change on January 4, 2027 and the January 2027 carrier changes.
