- The Professional selling plan costs $39.99 per month and is designed for sellers who plan to sell more than 40 items per month.
- The Individual selling plan is free, but sellers are charged $0.99 per item sold. If you're a high-volume seller, the Professional selling plan may be more cost-effective for you.

- Monthly inventory storage fees will increase from $0.75 per cubic foot to $0.82 per cubic foot from January to September, and from $2.40 per cubic foot to $2.63 per cubic foot for October to December.
- Long-term storage fees will increase from $6.90 per cubic foot to $7.56 per cubic foot for items stored for more than 365 days.
- Referral fees, which are charged as a percentage of each sale and cover the cost of payment processing and other services, will remain unchanged at 15% for most categories. However, the Fine Art category will see an increase of 20%, which could impact sellers who specialize in this niche.
- Amazon subscription fees, which are paid by sellers who sign up for certain programs such as Amazon Business or the Amazon Renewed program, may be subject to changes as well. It's important for sellers to keep an eye on these fees and make sure that the benefits of the subscription outweigh the costs.
- Advertising fees, which allow sellers to promote their products through sponsored listings and other ad formats, will likely see some changes in 2025 as well. Amazon is constantly refining its advertising platform, so sellers should stay up to date on the latest trends and best practices in order to get the most bang for their buck.
- Review inventory levels: With changes to storage fees, it's more important than ever to keep a close eye on inventory levels and make sure that stock is moving quickly enough to avoid long-term storage fees. Sellers should consider running promotions or offering discounts to move excess inventory, and may also want to evaluate their product mix to see if there are any slow-moving items that can be discontinued.
- Adjust pricing strategies: In light of changes to fulfillment fees, sellers should reevaluate their pricing strategies to ensure that they're still competitive in the marketplace. This may mean adjusting prices upward to account for increased fulfillment costs or exploring other ways to improve margins such as bundling or cross-selling.
- Utilize Amazon's tools and programs: Amazon offers a range of tools and programs that can help sellers reduce the impact of fee changes. For example, sellers can use Amazon's FBA Revenue Calculator to estimate the impact of fulfillment fee changes on their products or participate in the Amazon Renewed program to tap into a new customer base for refurbished products.
