FBA Fee-Change Keep-or-Cut Audit

Amazon rewrote FBA economics on November 5, 2026 — and gave sellers about two months to react. January 11: bundles not packaged by the original manufacturer or brand owner are deactivated and logged as Account Health violations. January 15: fulfillment fees change on every unit — an average of +$0.19 per unit, but small standard-size items move more: +$0.20 under $10, +$0.40 at $10–$50, +$0.70 above $50, with the 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge staying on top. February 1: storage becomes a single age-based rate — stock that turns within about six months pays the same or less; stock that sits pays more — and the low-inventory fee narrows to sellers under 28 days of supply. Amazon also put a Fee Change Comparison dashboard in Profit Analytics, showing the new fees against your current ones, ASIN by ASIN. Most sellers will never open it. They will meet their new margins in January's settlement report, after the decisions that could have changed them are already locked.

The FBA Fee-Change Keep-or-Cut Audit is the sheet built from that dashboard before January. You export the Fee Change Comparison and your inventory-age report — we never log into your account and never ask for credentials — and we return four working documents: an ASIN-by-ASIN keep / reprice / cut sheet showing each ASIN's margin at its current price under the January 15 fees and the price that restores the old margin, with the math and inputs printed so every number can be checked; an aged-inventory decision list naming each ASIN that will cross the six-month line under the February 1 storage rate, with the sell-through pace that beats the crossing date; a bundle compliance check flagging every bundle ASIN against Amazon's published policy text before the January 11 deactivation rule; and a one-page January action calendar with your flagged ASINs pinned to each of the three dates.

What this audit is not: it is fee arithmetic on your own numbers — not a profit, sales, or ranking guarantee, and it does not predict what any ASIN will earn. We make no price or listing changes; every change stays yours to make in your own Seller Central. The bundle check applies Amazon's published text to the packaging facts you state — a checklist, not a legal clearance. One seller account, up to 300 ASINs, delivered within 3 business days of your completed intake. And one built-in protection: if Amazon materially revises the announced fees before January 15, one re-run of the sheet on the revised figures is included.

The window is the offer. This audit only pays while you can still act — before the last Q4 inbound decisions and before January repricing. It is sold through December 2026 only; a January audit is an autopsy. Independent sellers are more than 60% of Amazon's store. Almost all of them are about to be repriced by Amazon. This is the $197 version of repricing yourself, first.

• Every ASIN, one verdict. Keep, reprice (to the printed price), or cut — with the January margin shown
• Three dates, one calendar. Jan 11 bundles, Jan 15 fees, Feb 1 storage — your flagged ASINs pinned to each
• Your exports, your account. No Seller Central access, no credentials, no changes made for you
• Re-run included. If Amazon revises the fees before Jan 15, the sheet is rebuilt on the new figures

Done-for-you service — nothing to download. After checkout you receive the intake by email within 1 business day: you export two reports from your own Seller Central (the Fee Change Comparison and your inventory-age report) — we never ask for your login. Your audit is delivered by email within 3 business days of the completed intake. No physical product will be shipped.

Fees are half the calendar — payouts are the other half

This audit reprices every ASIN against the January fees. It does not map when Amazon’s payouts actually land against your fixed pay dates. The 13-Week Payout-to-Pay Runway Sheet ($197) builds that second calendar from your own records — 13 weeks of expected arrivals vs fixed departures, with the pinch weeks flagged — no bank logins, no credentials, delivered within 3 business days of completed intake.
