Amazon increases fees to combat inflation

[rpmworld]

for those members who sell on other platforms too just an update for the xmas season

Fulfilment fees for Amazon’s Fulfilment by Amazon service are increasing by 4.3 per cent. In the UK
Amazon is calling the fee increase a ‘fuel and inflation surcharge’ designed to tackle rising costs following the coronavirus pandemic.

on the flip side increase sales & profit during the holiday season for amazon would normally combat any extra costs and In April 2021, the bbc reported that Amazon’s profits tripled during the pandemic, which drove many shoppers online.

In 2020, Amazon passed on the government’s digital sales tax to sellers by increasing fees by two per cent.

Yeh all companies use every excuse under the sun to make more profits and it shouldn't be too long until eBay raises theirs, Etsy will also probably do something to get more. I say this a lot, and this is the last time I'll bother but again we have a reason for sites like this to push exposure

I have only ever purchased 3 items on Amazon, the last time was 2016, I would rather go without than buy on Amazon and since leaving ebay have not purchased anything there either, I would rather go direct the the seller if possible, always check here first if I cannot buy locally.
