Amazon will introduce a series of reductions in FBA order fulfillment fees. Starting from December 15, 2025, sellers can expect to see an average reduction in FBA shipping costs of £0.26 or €0.32 per package. This means sellers will be able to save on each unit sold, which can improve margins and make their products even more competitive.
Additionally, in 2026, Amazon will extend the reduced FBA rate to low-priced products (up to £20 or €20), with fees reduced on average by £0.40 or €0.45 per unit. This means that sellers offering cheaper products will be able to enjoy greater savings in logistics and order fulfillment.
New Commission Rates in Selected Product Categories
Amazon is also implementing changes to sales commission rates in several product categories. Here are the main changes:
Clothing and Accessories - the sales commission in this category will be reduced from 8% to 5% for products priced up to £15 or €15, and from 15% to 10% for products priced from £15/EUR to £20/EUR.
