Frequently Asked Questions

How can I reduce Amazon FBA fees?

Optimize packaging to fit smaller size tiers, manage inventory levels to avoid long-term storage fees, consider FBA for high-velocity items and FBM for slow movers, and ensure accurate product dimensions to avoid unexpected fees.

Is FBA worth it for new sellers?

FBA can be valuable for new sellers because it provides Prime eligibility, handles customer service, and allows you to focus on sourcing and marketing. However, ensure your profit margins can support the additional fees compared to fulfilling orders yourself.

What happens during inventory cleanup events?

Amazon periodically conducts inventory cleanup events where they may dispose of or return long-term storage inventory. You'll be charged removal fees unless you proactively manage your inventory levels and remove slow-moving products.
