Understanding Storage Fees

The monthly storage fee is charged per cubic metre:

January - September: 26€/m³
October - December: 36€/m³ (Q4 surcharge)

Long-term storage fee

For products that sit in storage for more than 365 days, Amazon charges an additional 170€/m³. This can completely eat into your margin!

Pro tip: Use the "Aged Inventory Surcharge Report" in Seller Central to avoid long-term storage fees early. Set up discount campaigns for slow-moving products.

Hidden Costs That Sellers Overlook

1. Return fees

For returns, the fulfillment fees are often charged again. With high return rates, this can quickly get expensive.

2. Disposal fees

If you have unsellable goods disposed of, it costs 0,10€ - 0,60€ per unit.

3. Labelling fees

If Amazon labels your products: 0,38€ per unit for envelope-size items, 0,78€ for parcels and 0,94€ for oversize items (EU rate card valid from 1 February 2026).

4. Unplanned Service Fees

For incorrectly prepared shipments, Amazon charges additional fees (0,20€ - 2€ per unit).
