Amazon FBA is marketed as the ultimate convenience for e-commerce sellers. You ship your inventory to Amazon, and they handle the rest—storage, packing, shipping, customer service. Sounds great, right?
But here’s the truth: that convenience might be quietly draining your profits.
If you’re like most sellers, you’re probably overpaying without even realizing it. And Amazon’s not going to stop you—they’re making money from your oversight.
It’s time to take a hard look at the hidden FBA fees that could be sabotaging your margins.
That item you think is just a little bulky? Amazon might be classifying it as oversize, and that classification comes with significantly higher fulfillment fees.
Even a slight packaging change could drop you into a lower fee tier. We're talking about saving dollars per unit—and those dollars add up fast.
Two extra inches in your packaging could push your product into a completely different fee bracket. That means you’re literally paying for air.
It’s a common issue—many sellers don’t optimize for dimensional weight (DIM weight), and Amazon makes no effort to warn you about it.
Selling on Shopify or Walmart and using Amazon FBA to fulfill orders there? You’re paying a premium for it—likely more than you think.
Amazon’s MCF rates are significantly higher than FBA fees for orders placed on Amazon. Same service, higher price.
Amazon doesn’t notify you about overcharges. They benefit when you overlook these fee structures. But with a few simple adjustments, you can:
✓ Shift to a lower fee tier
✓ Repackage smarter
✓ Save thousands per month
These aren’t massive changes—but they yield massive results.
If you’re curious which hidden fee is hurting your bottom line most, I broke it all down in a visual guide (linked above). Check it out, audit your listings today, and stop handing Amazon free money.
