Amazon regularly introduces changes to their FBA fulfillment fees to complement the changes in the global eCommerce industry. This year, the tech giant introduced significant changes in Amazon FBA fees and other Amazon selling fees, most of which will take effect on January 15, 2025.
The upcoming Amazon fees are brought about by multiple factors affecting Amazon’s business operations and the eCommerce industry in its totality. The eCommerce giant will introduce its updated Amazon fees for 2025 to foster simplicity and stability. In particular, the updates on Amazon fees 2025 are focused on minimizing Amazon sellers‘ operational costs, while continuing to delight customers and drive growth for Amazon businesses.
Amazon Fee Changes in 2025 | Summary
Last year, Amazon invested heavily in innovations that improved fulfillment networks, supply chain services, placement and forecasting, and more efficient operations. Such investments led to record-breaking unit sales for independent, professional sellers and improved customer experience.
Although the monthly storage fees and aged inventory surcharge fees (per cubic foot) remained the same last year, Amazon still implemented several fee adjustments. These adjustments included changes to shipping costs, return processing fees, storage fees, low inventory level fees, storage utilization surcharges, applicable referral fee percentages, and FBA removal and disposal fees, among others.
However, the changes to Amazon fees introduced some complexities for sellers. Many had to adjust their business operations, invest in new packaging, and navigate additional challenges. Recognizing these issues, Amazon is focusing on simplifying Amazon fees for 2025 to reduce the operational burden and costs for sellers.
To clarify the changes to Amazon selling fees, including Amazon FBA fees for 2025, here are some key adjustments that will be implemented this year.
Amazon Referral Fees Update for 2025
Almost every year, Amazon updates its referral fees, especially for the US marketplace. However, this year, Amazon announced that it would not increase its US referral fees.
In a statement, Amazon emphasized that the upcoming changes to its Amazon seller fees, including the referral fees for 2025, aim to continue to delight customers and provide selling partners with great value to help their businesses thrive.
“After a year that had a number of fee changes for sellers to adapt to, for 2025, we are providing more stability in our fees… As a result, we are not introducing any new fee types or increasing referral or FBA fee,” said Dharmesh Mehta, Vice President of Worldwide Selling Partner Services.
Since the Amazon referral fees will not change in 2025, sellers can refer to last year’s referral fee table for the specific fees in various Amazon categories.

Amazon Fee Exemptions and Incentives
Amazon will also implement timebound incentives and exemptions starting January 15, 2025. As per Amazon, “new selection enrolled in the FBA New Selection program will be exempted from the inbound placement service fee from December 1, 2024, to March 31, 2025.”
This Amazon fee exemption applies to the first 100 inbound units for each new parent ASIN. To qualify, the initial shipment plan for the new parent ASIN must be created on or after December 1, 2024.
In addition to the above-mentioned Amazon fee exemption, new sellers who create and send their first shipment to a fulfillment center within 90 days of listing their offer will receive $400 in credits for FBA inbound placement service fees.
Final Thought
The Amazon fees for 2025 bring good news for online sellers and entrepreneurs, especially those concerned about shipping fees and storage fees. Sellers can expect lower operational costs with no new fee categories introduced and certain Amazon FBA fees reduced. These adjustments create opportunities for sellers to reallocate resources toward scaling other areas of their Amazon business.
In addition to these changes, Amazon seller tools like the Amazon FBA calculator help sellers accurately forecast expenses, while an Amazon repricer allows for dynamic pricing strategies. Together, these tools can significantly assist sellers in adapting to the Amazon fee changes in 2025 and optimizing their profitability for the rest of the year.
