Amazon Shifts FBA Removal and Disposal Fee Billing to Per-Unit-as-Processed Model
Effective: March 1, 2026
All US FBA sellers who create removal or disposal orders for FBA inventory
Amazon changed how removal and disposal fees are charged for FBA inventory. Previously, the full fee for a removal or disposal order was collected when the entire order completed. Starting March 1, 2026, fees are charged incrementally on a per-unit basis as each item is actually removed or disposed of. Fee rates themselves did not change — only the timing of when charges appear in seller accounts.
Real-World Impact
A removal order for 500 units previously generated one lump-sum charge when the last unit shipped. Under the new model, charges appear daily as batches of units are processed — helping sellers reconcile costs against specific ASIN inventory events in real time.
Key Points
- Fee billing method changes from end-of-order to per-unit-as-processed starting March 1, 2026
- No change to actual fee rates — standard removal and disposal fee amounts remain the same
- Charges now appear in the Payments Transaction View incrementally as units are processed
- Applies automatically to all new removal and disposal orders created on or after March 1, 2026
- Helps sellers match removal costs to specific SKUs and improves short-term cash flow visibility
What You Should Do Now
- 1No action is required — the change applies automatically to all new orders after March 1, 2026
- 2Review the Payments → Transaction View in Seller Central to see the new per-unit charge cadence
- 3Update your cash flow forecasts to account for incremental fee timing rather than a single end-of-order charge
