Amazon is changing how it charges sellers for removing and disposing of products stored in its FBA fulfillment centers. The fees themselves are not changing. However, Amazon will charge FBA removal and disposal fees “on a per-unit basis at the time each unit is removed or disposed of.”
Amazon announced the change will go into effect on February 15, 2026 and further explained:
“Previously, these fees were charged all at once when the entire removal or disposal order was completed. This update aims to give you more visibility into your removal and disposal activities.
“This is a charge timeline change only. The fee rates for removal and disposal fees remain unchanged.
“No action is required from you. This change will apply automatically to new orders created on or after February 15.
“To review your shipment level charges and when units are removed, go to Payments and click Transaction view.”
One seller responding to the announcement seemed uncertain whether “Amazon feels FBA Sellers would enjoy seeing the money deducted from your account a little at a time instead of one lump sum,” or whether it “could be FBA Sellers more opportunity to dispute the individual charges per item transaction.”
Another seller called the change awful and said, “So now if a seller creates a removal order for 100 items, rather than one notification to track, they’ll get 100 separate little ones. I have a hard time seeing why that would be better.”
