Frequently Asked Questions
What fees does Amazon charge FBA sellers in Canada?
Amazon charges two main fees: a referral fee (8-17% depending on category) and an FBA fulfillment fee (based on product size and weight). There may also be monthly storage fees and long-term storage fees for inventory stored over 365 days.
How are FBA fulfillment fees calculated?
FBA fees are based on product size tier and weight. Small Standard items (≤250g) have a flat fee around $4.71. Larger items have a base fee plus per-kg charges. Oversize items have higher base fees and per-kg rates.
What is a good profit margin for Amazon FBA?
Most successful Amazon sellers aim for at least 25-30% profit margin after all fees. This provides cushion for advertising costs, price fluctuations, and returns. Products with margins below 15% are generally considered risky.
What is ROI and why does it matter for FBA?
ROI (Return on Investment) measures how much profit you make relative to your investment (product cost + shipping). A 100% ROI means you double your money. Higher ROI allows you to reinvest profits and grow faster, but should be balanced with sales velocity.
