Low-Price FBA Rates Narrowed in 2027 — Five Fee Categories Lose the Under-$10 Discount and Move to $10–$50 Rates from January 15, 2027
As part of its 2027 US fee update, Amazon is limiting Low-Price FBA rates to a narrower set of fee categories. Until January 14, 2027, every FBA product priced under $10 automatically gets Low-Price FBA rates. From January 15, 2027, products under $10 in five fee categories — Automotive and Powersports, Compact Appliances, Media, Computers, and Musical Instruments and AV Production — will instead pay the standard $10–$50 fulfillment fee rates. Products under $10 in all other fee categories keep Low-Price FBA rates automatically.
Real-World Impact
PPC Land's worked example: a 3.35 lb iron priced under $10 in the Compact Appliances fee category goes from a $6.31 fulfillment fee to $7.32 on January 15, 2027, because it moves from Low-Price FBA rates to the 2027 $10–$50 rate.
