What does an Amazon agency do?

An Amazon agency manages and grows brands on the Amazon marketplace. Services typically include listing optimization, PPC advertising, A+ Content creation, brand protection, inventory strategy, catalog management, and ongoing performance optimization. A full-service agency like 595 Agency operates as an extension of your internal team, handling day-to-day Amazon operations so the brand can focus on product development and supply chain.

This is the lowest percentage model in the industry for full-service management.

Should I hire an Amazon agency?

Consider hiring an Amazon agency if your ad spend exceeds $5,000/month without clear ROAS visibility, your internal team lacks Amazon-specific expertise, catalog complexity has outgrown internal bandwidth, or you are launching on Amazon for the first time. The core question is whether the agency cost is less than the value it creates through improved advertising efficiency, better listing performance, and operational expertise.

What is the difference between Seller Central and Vendor Central management?

Seller Central (3P) means the brand sells directly to consumers through Amazon and controls pricing, inventory, and the customer relationship. Vendor Central (1P) means Amazon buys your products at wholesale and resells them, controlling the retail price. Seller Central offers more control and higher margins; Vendor Central offers Amazon's distribution scale and the "Sold by Amazon" badge. Many brands operate on both simultaneously.

How do Amazon agencies charge?

Amazon agencies typically charge through one of four models: flat monthly fee ($2,000-$10,000+), percentage of revenue (3-15%), hybrid (base fee plus lower percentage), or percentage of ad spend (10-20%). 595 Agency uses a hybrid model with a flat fee of $2,000-$6,000/month plus 1-2% revenue share, the lowest percentage in the industry.

Amazon DSP (Demand-Side Platform) is Amazon's programmatic advertising system for display, video, and audio ads both on Amazon properties and across the web. Unlike Sponsored Products or Sponsored Brands which target active shoppers, DSP reaches audiences based on their Amazon shopping behavior wherever they browse online. It is best used for retargeting, brand building, and new product launches alongside an existing Sponsored Ads foundation.

How does Amazon SEO work?

Amazon SEO is the process of optimizing product listings to rank higher in Amazon search results. This involves keyword research using Amazon search data, strategic placement of keywords in titles, bullet points, descriptions, and backend search terms, plus optimizing images, A+ Content, and pricing. Amazon's algorithm weighs relevance, conversion rate, and sales velocity when determining organic rankings.

Amazon 2027 FBA Fee Changes: What Sellers Pay Jan 15

November 6, 2026595 AgencyFulfillment & Operations, Business Strategy

Amazon announced on November 5, 2026 that Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) fees for US sellers will rise by an average of $0.19 per unit, about 0.8% of the average item's selling price, starting January 15, 2027. Storage and low-inventory rules change on February 1, 2027. Some products will cost less, so check your own SKUs.

Key takeaways

FBA fulfillment fees rise by an average of $0.19 per unit sold, roughly 0.8% of the average selling price, on January 15, 2027.
The storage utilization surcharge goes away on February 1, 2027, and the aged inventory surcharge folds into one age-based monthly storage rate.
The low-inventory-level fee will use actual shipments in the four weeks before and after assessment and apply only below 28 days of supply.
Inventory that turns in under six months pays the same or less for storage. Slower stock pays more.
The fuel and logistics surcharge stays in place.

What did Amazon change for 2027?

The announcement came in a letter to sellers from Sunny Jain, vice president of Worldwide Fulfillment by Amazon, published on the Amazon Selling Partner news page for 2027 fees on November 5, 2026. PYMNTS also reported the changes the same day. Amazon says fees will move up for some products and down for others, so each fee better matches what it costs Amazon to fulfill that item.

The letter's title mentions referral fees, but the body covers only fulfillment and storage. It points sellers to a Seller Central help page for category-level detail, and that page did not load for us because it requires JavaScript. We found no referral fee changes in the text we could read, so treat referral fees as unconfirmed until you check the help page yourself.

The table below summarizes what Amazon stated. Amazon did not publish size-tier rates in the letter, so we do not list any.

Fee	Today	From 2027	Effective
FBA fulfillment fees	Current rate card	Average +$0.19 per unit, about 0.8% of average price; varies by product	Jan 15, 2027
Fuel and logistics surcharge	In place since April 2026	Unchanged; Amazon keeps reviewing it	Continues
Storage utilization surcharge	Charged	Eliminated	Feb 1, 2027
Aged inventory surcharge	Separate charge	Merged into one age-based monthly storage rate	Feb 1, 2027
Low-inventory-level fee	Based on trailing 30-day and 90-day sales	Based on actual shipments 4 weeks before and after; applies below 28 days of supply	Feb 1, 2027

The takeaway: the fulfillment change is small on average, and the storage and low-inventory changes reward sellers who forecast well and punish stock that sits.

How much will FBA fees increase in 2027?

The average is $0.19 per unit, which Amazon puts at about 0.8% of the average item's selling price. Working backward, that implies an average price near $23.75. That figure is our arithmetic, not Amazon's.

Averages hide spread. Your own change could be higher or lower depending on size tier, weight and price. Amazon's letter says it added a Fee Change Comparison dashboard inside Profit Analytics that shows impact at the account and product level, plus a Revenue Calculator for modeling scenarios.

Illustrative unit economics

These examples use invented round numbers to show the math. Plug in your own.

Scenario	Calculation	Result
Volume impact at the average increase	5,000 units a month x $0.19	$950 a month, $11,400 a year
Fee as share of price on a $30 item	0.8% x $30	about $0.24
Share of profit lost at a $3.00 unit profit	$0.19 / $3.00	about 6.3%
Share of profit lost at a $6.00 unit profit	$0.19 / $6.00	about 3.2%

Thin-margin products feel the same dollar increase far more than high-margin ones. That is why a flat average tells you little about your catalog.

What changes with Amazon storage fees on February 1, 2027?

Amazon is removing the storage utilization surcharge and merging the aged inventory surcharge into the monthly storage fee, so one rate depends on how long goods sit in its warehouses. Per Amazon, sellers whose inventory moves within six months pay the same or less. Sellers holding stock longer pay more. Amazon did not state rates or age bands in the letter we read.

Seller profile	Likely effect on storage (per Amazon)	First move
Inventory turns in under 6 months	Same or lower	Confirm in the dashboard, then keep replenishment tight
Mixed catalog with some slow SKUs	Higher on the slow SKUs	List SKUs by age and decide discount, bundle or remove
Seasonal or long-lead inventory	Higher if stock lingers past 6 months	Time inbound shipments closer to demand
Heavy overstock	Higher	Price down or remove before February 1

The takeaway: the new rule favors fast turns. The cost of holding a slow SKU is now tied directly to its age.

How does the new low-inventory fee work?

Today the low-inventory-level fee looks at trailing 30-day and 90-day sales. From February 1, 2027 it applies only when a SKU falls below 28 days of supply, measured with actual shipments in the four weeks before and the four weeks after the assessment date. Amazon says the goal is to target SKUs that need replenishment and reduce penalties triggered by demand spikes or end-of-season and end-of-life products.

Because the measurement window includes weeks after the assessment date, a fast restock can help you avoid the fee. Do not rely on that without testing it on your account.

How do the 2027 changes fit with other Q4 fee news?

These 2027 changes land after the holiday window. Our guide to Amazon FBA peak fulfillment fees for 2026 covers the temporary charges that run through January 14, 2027. MarketplaceOfficer's monthly roundup reports those peak fees average $0.32 per unit above non-peak rates, with a separate 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge on top. Amazon's new letter says the surcharge remains in place for 2027.

If you also ship seller-fulfilled orders, the December 18 FBM prepaid return label rule changes your cost picture on that side. If rising fulfillment costs have you weighing other channels, compare them with our breakdown of Walmart WFS versus FBA fees.

What should Amazon sellers do before January 15?

Open the Fee Change Comparison dashboard in Profit Analytics and export the product-level impact for every active SKU.
Rebuild each SKU's contribution margin with the new fulfillment fee in the Revenue Calculator. Flag any SKU whose margin drops below your minimum.
Decide on price moves for flagged SKUs before January 15. Test small increases on low-competition listings first, and watch conversion and ad efficiency after each change.
Sort your inventory by age. Anything approaching six months needs a plan: promotion, bundle, removal or a smaller reorder.
Check your catalog for Amazon-created offers such as virtual multipacks, since fulfillment fees apply per underlying unit and the fee change affects their math.
Reset replenishment rules around the 28-day supply line so best sellers do not dip under it. Build the weeks after an assessment into your plan.
Reread the full fee help page in Seller Central for referral fee, size-tier and storage-rate detail, since the announcement letter does not carry those figures.

In the accounts a managed Amazon team reviews, the usual problem is not the headline fee. It is a handful of slow, bulky or low-margin SKUs that quietly absorb a large share of fees. Starting with those is faster than re-pricing everything.

FAQ

Most fulfillment fee changes start January 15, 2027. The storage and low-inventory-level fee changes start February 1, 2027.

Will every seller pay more in 2027?

No. The $0.19 figure is an average. Amazon says some fees go down, and sellers whose inventory turns in under six months pay the same or less for storage.

Is the storage utilization surcharge going away?

Yes. Amazon says it eliminates the storage utilization surcharge on February 1, 2027 and merges the aged inventory surcharge into a single age-based monthly storage rate.

Bottom line
