If Amazon wants lower prices, they need to lower their fees
I understand Amazon wants lower prices, but forcing sellers into prices that aren't profitable is just going to shrink the catalogue. If you want sellers to stay on amazon with lower prices, you HAVE to lower fees. This is not a sustainable business model.

Hi there @Seller_k9sTfy4bcOvIY,
Thanks for reaching out with your feedback. I'm sorry you have been frustrated with your current Amazon Fees. In general Amazon works to ensure that Seller Fees are as low as possible while still achieving Amazon's own business goals. However, if you would like please feel free to provide details on which fees are particularly difficult as well as your examples and I will provide your feedback to our internal business teams. I can't make any guarantees about any changes and won't be able to provide updates, but I can ensure it is reviewed by appropriate leadership.
Thank you for your understanding.

You are right, the seller is not stupid either, no one will continue to do a business that does not make money, the seller is not doing welfare on, the first time a product does not make money can be sold at a loss, but if it continues not to make money, this product will be eliminated, whether it is theway freight, Amazon freight, long-term storage fee and disposal fee are too high for the seller.

I'm right at 50% in fees with shipping to their facilites and that is without paying any of the optional fees like advertising or other bs.
At least they don't change their policies monthly or delete your listings without a good reason... (sarcastic) Oh look, they have changed the seller dashboard AGAIN!! awesome...

We have been shifting many items to ebay as prices are higher and listings are not SUPPRESSED due to Buy Box Removals and Pricing Suppressions AKA PRICE FIXING and our goal is to have 2x the amount of items for sale on the bay than Amazon by Xmas!

It is impossible to offer lower prices given the current economic environment with tariffs. I lost a very popular product this past week due to tariffs, the manufacturer upped my wholesale price almost 50%. So I had to drop the product from my catalog. I pray this doesn't happen to more of my products. I would have gone ahead and upped my price to compensate for the price increase but we all know Amazon would suppress my listing for going up too much in price. I already have several products that are almost suppressed with the almost invisible See Buying Options button. A few months ago I had half a dozen I had to take down due to their pricing demands.

Inbound defect fee
Inbound placement service fee
Monthly storage fees(3～4 times more on peak season)
Low inventory level fee for standard size
Deferred transactions
Returns processing fee(based on Size， really hard for new products testing on Amazon)
Automatic Disposal Fee(High)
What is stopping you above currently？
The total balance of the Amazon seller's account has been debited to be negative and there is nothing left to do.

Applying logic to this site is a lost cause now.

It's not just fees. Every time postage goes up, I adjust my prices as I have free shipping attached. Every time I do that, I get a notice that my pricing is too high.

They sure do nickel and dime us for everything, and don't get me started on having to eat the return fees on top of refunds.

that what i say. if their fees were not so high we could lower our prices.
