This is also a headline on your seller central page.

Yeah…saw that.
So they want to corner that market, maybe? 17 and 18%? They’re begging those sellers to go to other platforms. I know, I know, they won’t.
We don’t sell much over $75 in clothing, so won’t be affected a lot. But couple that with the FBA fee increase…
Seller_AlEct1a8855Rn
It’s a bit comical how amazon wants to be the lowest price yet has by far the highest fees and highest amount of required padding because of all the deductions they take from us.
In many categories amazon cannot compete price-wise, but amazon buyers aren’t necessarily shopping price. They want no responsibility for anything and are willing to pay a premium for it.

It just never ends, They are squeezing 3P Sellers dry, How can we deliver quality product and service to our customers when Amazon wants so much of the pie, Leaves us pennies to operate on… Disgusting.

Those lower corporate tax rates are really paying off.

Amazon just Invested Big in clothing Will they increase fees on it’s own listing Lol
Seller_LHAsWT0Y7waGH
I think selling on Amazon is no longer profitable. Due to recent USPS price increase and later Amazon fee increase and more and more 3rd party seller competing with each other.
It’s really time for me to look for another career.
Seller_Wvs1oHDUVPC6o
All the effected inventory that I have with the change, I increased my offer price. For earnings to be roughly the same from 15% to 18%, add 3.66% to your offer.
