Amazon has announced a reduction in referral fees for apparel products priced below $20. For items under $15, the referral fees will drop from 17 percent to five percent. For products priced between $15 and $20, the referral fees will drop from 17 percent to 10 percent. These changes will apply beginning January 15, 2024.
“We are excited to provide sellers with more transparency and more control over their fulfillment costs,” Dharmesh Mehta, VP, Worldwide Selling Partner Services, says on the company’s website. “On average, this year’s fee changes are significantly less than those announced by other major fulfillment services, and many sellers will see a decrease in the average fees paid to Amazon per unit sold … Amazon’s fulfillment fees will continue to remain an average of 70 percent less expensive than two-day shipping methods offered by other major third-party logistics providers.”
