We’re always working on ways to improve your selling experience, and our self-service Capacity Manager tool can help FBA sellers plan ahead for the peak season.
Capacity Manager allows you to request an increase to FBA capacity limits based on a reservation fee that you specify. When you submit a request, you’ll list the maximum reservation fee you’d be willing to pay to reserve the additional capacity. No upfront payment is required.
When your request is granted, the reservation fee can be offset with performance credits earned from sales generated using the additional capacity. Performance credits can offset up to 100% of your reservation fee, meaning you won’t pay for the extra capacity as long as your products sell through.
Requests are granted objectively, starting with the highest reservation fee per cubic foot, until all available capacity has been allocated. For all sellers whose requests are granted in the same week, the lowest reservation fee applies regardless of the amount you originally submitted.
