Amazon India Announces Updated Seller Fees – November 2025
Amazon has rolled out new fee changes for sellers in the India marketplace. These adjustments may affect storage planning, pricing strategies, and overall profit margins—especially for sellers using FBA.
What’s Changing?
1. Storage Fee Increase
The monthly inventory storage fee has increased from around ₹45 to ₹50 per cubic foot. This means storing products in Amazon’s warehouse will cost a bit more each month.
2. No More Reimbursement on Closing Fees for Returns
Previously, when a customer returned an item, Amazon reimbursed the closing fee.
Now, this fee will no longer be refunded, so sellers will absorb the cost on every returned order.
Impact on Sellers
-
Higher storage costs if products remain in the warehouse longer.
-
Returns will now cost more, which can reduce profit margins.
-
Inventory planning and return rate management become more important than ever.
What Sellers Should Do
-
Reduce excess stock to avoid unnecessary storage costs.
-
Improve product listings (clear images, accurate details) to prevent returns.
-
Track return reasons and fix any recurring product or expectation issues.
-
Consider moving slower-moving inventory to alternate storage solutions.
Bottom Line
These changes highlight the importance of efficient inventory management and reducing avoidable returns. With the right strategy, sellers can still maintain profitability while adapting to the updated fee structure.
