Amazon adds fuel surcharge for sellers

Amazon is implementing a new 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge for sellers utilizing its fulfillment services. This additional fee will be calculated based on the fulfillment fees charged to sellers, not on the final sale price of their items. The new surcharge is set to take effect on April 17th, impacting sellers who rely on Amazon's extensive shipping network. This move aims to offset rising operational costs associated with fuel prices and broader logistics challenges.
