Amazon FBA Fees Europe 2026: Every Marketplace Compared

Amazon FBA Fee Structure Explained

Every FBA sale involves three main fee components, all detailed in the Amazon Seller Central fee schedule:

1. Referral Fee: A percentage of the selling price (typically 15%, varies by category). For most consumer products, this sits at 15%, but categories like personal computers and consumer electronics may have lower rates (6-8%), while jewelry and watches can be as high as 20%.
2. Fulfillment Fee: The cost Amazon charges to pick, pack, and ship your product (varies by size and weight). This is where EU fee differences become most apparent - a package fulfilled from a Polish warehouse costs less than one from a French warehouse.
3. Storage Fee: Monthly fee for warehouse space (varies by season and volume). Storage fees spike during Q4 (October-December) to roughly double the standard rate, which means holiday inventory carries a significantly higher cost basis that must be reflected in your repricing min prices.

Understanding how these three components interact is crucial because they stack multiplicatively. A product priced at EUR 25 with a 15% referral fee loses EUR 3.75 right away. Add a EUR 3.50 fulfillment fee and EUR 0.30 in monthly storage allocation, and your total Amazon fees reach EUR 7.55 per unit - 30.2% of your selling price before VAT is even considered.

2026 Changes: What Is New

Amazon announced several fee changes for 2026 via Seller Central Europe:

• Average fulfillment fee reduction: EUR 0.17 per unit across most size tiers. While this sounds small, on a seller processing 5,000 units per month, it represents EUR 850/month or EUR 10,200/year in savings.
• Low-Stock-Fee introduced: EUR 0.20-0.70 per unit for consistently low inventory. This is Amazon's way of incentivizing sellers to maintain at least 4 weeks of supply. If you frequently run low on stock, this fee effectively raises your per-unit cost and must be factored into min price calculations.
• No inbound placement fee increase (stable from 2025). This is good news for sellers who ship to single fulfillment centers and rely on Amazon to distribute inventory across the network.
• Storage fee adjustments for aged inventory (over 365 days). Products sitting in FBA warehouses for more than a year face significantly higher storage charges, which makes timely liquidation of slow-moving inventory even more important.

Marketplace Comparison Table

Here's what the same standard-size product (500g, 25×15×5cm) costs across EU marketplaces:

Note: These are approximate figures. Always verify with Amazon's current fee schedule for the latest numbers.

The key takeaway from this table is that fulfillment fees vary by up to EUR 0.35 between the cheapest (Sweden at ~EUR 3.30) and most expensive (Italy/Spain at EUR 3.65) EU marketplaces. Storage fees show similar variation. While these differences seem small on a per-unit basis, they compound rapidly at scale. A seller moving 2,000 units per month across four EU marketplaces faces cumulative fee differences of EUR 300-700 per month depending on the marketplace mix.

It is also worth noting that seasonal storage fee increases during Q4 disproportionately affect sellers with large, slow-moving inventories. If you stock up for the holiday season in September, you pay the higher October-December storage rate on all that inventory for three months. Your repricing strategy should account for this by factoring in higher storage costs during Q4 when calculating min prices.

What This Means for Your Repricing Min Price

Different fees per marketplace mean different break-even points. This is not a theoretical concern - it directly impacts whether a sale is profitable or not. Using the table above for our example product with EUR 10 purchase price:

The difference between PL and IT break-even: EUR 0.59 per unit. On 1,000 monthly units, that's EUR 590 in margin difference. Across a 300-ASIN catalog selling an average of 500 total units per month, improper min prices that ignore these fee differences can cost EUR 200-400 per month in lost margin - money that flows directly to your bottom line once your min prices are properly configured.

Your repricer min prices must reflect these per-marketplace cost differences. A repricer without per-marketplace fee awareness treats all EU countries identically, which is fundamentally incorrect. arbytrage.io's profit calculator automatically applies the correct FBA fee schedule for each marketplace, ensuring your min prices are always based on accurate cost data.

The Low-Stock-Fee Connection

New for 2026: Amazon charges EUR 0.20-0.70 per unit sold if your inventory consistently falls below 4 weeks of supply. This directly affects your repricing math:

• If you're frequently low on stock, add EUR 0.20-0.70 to your min price calculation
• Or better: maintain adequate stock levels to avoid the fee entirely
• Monitor stock levels alongside repricing to prevent costly fee triggers

Imagine you sell a phone case with an EUR 5 purchase price and EUR 3.45 fulfillment fee on Amazon.de. Your break-even before margin is approximately EUR 12.50. If you trigger the Low-Stock-Fee at EUR 0.50 per unit, your break-even jumps to EUR 13.10. On a product that typically sells for EUR 14.99, that fee cuts your margin from EUR 2.49 to EUR 1.89 - a 24% reduction in profit per unit. Over 200 monthly sales, that is EUR 120 lost to a fee that could have been avoided by maintaining adequate inventory levels.

The interaction between FBA fees and repricing strategy is bidirectional. Your fees determine your min prices, and your repricing strategy determines your sell-through rate, which in turn affects storage fees and Low-Stock-Fee triggers. A repricer that understands this relationship - adjusting min prices when fee structures change - is essential for maintaining profitability across all EU marketplaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do FBA fees differ across EU marketplaces?

Yes. Fulfillment fees, storage fees, and even referral percentages can vary between EU countries. For example, Poland tends to have slightly lower fulfillment fees than Italy, while Sweden operates in SEK which adds a currency layer. These differences directly impact your break-even price per marketplace. A seller who uses the same min price across all countries may unknowingly sell at a loss in higher-fee markets while leaving money on the table in lower-fee ones.

What is the new Low-Stock-Fee in 2026?

Amazon introduced a fee of EUR 0.20-0.70 per unit sold for products that consistently fall below 4 weeks of supply. This incentivizes sellers to maintain adequate stock levels and should be factored into your min price if you frequently run low on inventory. The fee scales with how far below the 4-week threshold your inventory falls - consistently having only 1 week of supply triggers the higher end of the range. Good inventory planning and demand forecasting are your best defenses against this fee.

How do FBA fees affect my repricing strategy?

Different fees per marketplace mean different break-even points. Your repricer min prices must reflect these cost differences. A product that is profitable at EUR 21.99 on Amazon.de may need to be priced at EUR 22.46 on Amazon.it to maintain the same margin. This is why arbytrage.io builds marketplace-specific fee awareness directly into its min price calculator - so you never accidentally sell below break-even on any EU marketplace.

Where can I find the most up-to-date FBA fee information?

Amazon publishes fee updates in Seller Central under "Fee Schedule." Check at least quarterly for changes, especially at the start of each year when Amazon typically announces annual fee adjustments. You can also subscribe to Amazon's seller newsletter, which typically announces fee changes 60-90 days before they take effect, giving you time to adjust your repricing min prices accordingly.
