Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about this topic
No. The per-unit fee rates for removal and disposal remain unchanged. The only change is how Amazon bills these fees: per unit as each item is processed, rather than a consolidated charge when the entire removal order completes.
Instead of one charge when your removal order finishes, you now see individual charges as each unit ships out. A 500-unit removal order could generate dozens of separate line items over days or weeks depending on processing speed.
The per-unit billing methodology for FBA removal and disposal fees took effect on February 15, 2026.
Not necessarily, but you should update your accounting processes. If you reconcile fees manually or use software that expects consolidated charges, you will need to adapt to the new micro-charge pattern.
