Amazon’s Washington State Ad Tax: What Sellers Need to Know
Reading Time: 3 minutesAmazon recently announced a significant change for sellers advertising in Washington state:…
The festive season is now over, and many sellers selling on Amazon had their stocks cleared while some didn’t. With the New Year’s onset, Amazon hinted at a few pricing structure changes for their services. And it’s now a reality. Nearly 60% of the items sold on Amazon come from third-party sellers, but it now costs sellers more to store their items in Amazon Fulfillment Centers from January 17, 2023.
All sellers pay referral fees, which haven’t changed as the new fees hit on January 17, 2023. Referral Fees is a percentage of the total price, shipping cost, and any gift-wrapping charges.
As of February 25, 2023, the New and Improved version of Amazon by CedCommerce is now known as “CedCommerce Amazon Channel”.
With the onset of 2023, Sellers using Amazon’s FBA fulfillment service will see significant increases. A quick roundup of these changes has been listed below:-
It’s not just storing items that will cost more – Amazon will nearly double the cost of removing items from Amazon fulfillment centers. For example, removing a 2-pound standard-sized item from Amazon’s fulfillment center costs $1.14. In January, it will cost $2.20 to remove or dispose of the item.
Apparel sellers got bad news – Amazon will apply dim-weight pricing in calculating shipping weight for large standard-size products beginning February 16, 2023. However, Amazon will reduce the returns processing fee rates for customer-returned products in the Apparel and Shoes categories by an average of $0.20 per return.
However, things aren’t as gloomy as you’d imagine. Amazon is expanding its Small and Light program. This will be for new products that measure 18 x 14 x 8 inches or less and weigh 3 lb or less. Currently, the program is limited to items priced up to $10. On January 17, it will be open to items priced up to $12. This will enable sellers to realize the program’s lower fees for more of their selection, Amazon said.
Amazon is also lowering fees for the US FBA New Selection program. It also removes the following fee categories: Collectible Coins, Entertainment Collectibles, Sports Collectibles, and Collectible Cards.
In a nutshell, here are the changes that you should be aware of in this new pricing update:-
In addition, Amazon’s fulfillment fees will remain, on average, 30% less expensive than standard-shipping methods offered by major third-party logistics providers. It will also be nearly 70% less expensive than comparable two-day shipping alternatives.
When selling on Amazon, it becomes imperative for sellers to use services from experts in integrating multiple marketplaces. And that’s where the ‘Amazon by CedCommerce’ app can come to your rescue.
