Amazon FBA Fees UK (2026)
UK FBA economics are not a simple USD conversion of US fees. Fulfilment bands, storage, and VAT context differ. Use this page for UK-specific planning, then verify numbers in the profit calculator with marketplace set to UK.
1. Referral fees (Amazon.co.uk)
Most UK categories still land near a 15% referral fee, with category-specific exceptions. Always select the correct category in Seller Central, UK category trees do not always map 1:1 to Amazon.com.
2. Fulfilment fees (GBP)
UK FBA fulfilment is sized by dimensional weight rules and size tier. Educational planning bands sellers commonly model:
| Tier (typical) | Planning range (GBP)* | vs USA (rough) |
|---|---|---|
| Light / small envelope & standard | Often from ~£2.50+ | Similar intent, different ladder |
| Standard parcel | Mid single-digit £ | Compare unit economics carefully |
| Oversize | Can rise toward ~£65+ | Bulky UK offers are often unprofitable |
*Illustrative, use calculator + Seller Central for exact SKU fees.
3. Storage fees (UK)
Charged per cubic foot (or equivalent volume rules Amazon publishes for the UK) with seasonal increases in peak months. Slow movers still risk aged inventory fees, shorter inventory cycles help UK cash flow.
