Amazon changes fees as of 01.04.2020

The sales fees as well as the fees for shipping through Amazon (FBA) are changing!

On April 1, 2020, changes will go into effect regarding the percentage sales charge and the charges for the price of shipping by Amazon. The shipping price will basically increase by a few to several cents per unit.

From the following screenshot you can see the price adjustments for standard size shipping by Amazon.

You can also view the price adjustments for local shipping of plus sizes and plus sizes in the European Shipping Network (EFN) and pan-European shipping through Amazon at the following link: https://sellercentral.amazon.de/gp/help/GABBX6GZPA8MSZGW

The changes to the sales fee only affect a few item categories of the Amazon cosmos. We are happy to present these to you below.

Adjustments to the percentage sales charges

Percentage sales charge drugstore and personal care:

The percentage sales charge for an item with a total sales price of €10 or less will be reduced from 15% to 8%. For items whose total selling price exceeds €10, the percentage selling fee will remain at 15%.

 

Percentage sales charge computer and electronic accessories:

The percentage sales charge is increased from 12% to 15% for the share of the total sales price up to €100. For the share of the total sales price over 100 €, the percentage sales charge will be reduced from 12% to 8%.
As an example, for an item with a total sales price of €150, the percentage sales charge is 15% for the first €100 and 8% for the remaining €50. This results in a total sales charge of €19 (€100 x 15% + €50 x 8%).

 

Percentage sales charge accessories for Amazon devices:

The percentage sales charge for this category will increase from 12% to 45%.

 

Promotion of clothing, shoes and bags and accessories (handbags, belts and shoe accessories).

In the same course of announcing the fee adjustments, Amazon introduces a promotion for sellers. However, this is only valid for shipping through Amazon and Prime through sellers:

In the period of the promotion from 01.03.2020 to 28.02 2021, the percentage sales charge will be reduced from 15% to 7% of the share of the total sales price over 45 €. The sales fee of 15% up to a total sales price of €45 remains in place.

As an example, the sales percentage for an item with a total price of €80 is 15% for the first €45 and 7% for the remaining €35. This results in a total percentage sales charge of €9.20 (€45 x 15% + €35 x 7%).
