Changes To Amazon Professional Selling Plan Subscription Fees

Changes To Amazon Professional Selling Plan Fees

Amazon has announced changes to the fees for its subscription-based Professional Selling Plan, which came into effect on August 1, 2021. The update affects sellers who have active listings across multiple countries and regions and use merged accounts.

According to Amazon, Sellers with merged worldwide accounts will no longer be billed for their subscription in one lump sum but instead will have their Selling on Amazon Fee divided across whatever accounts they use globally. Furthermore, Amazon will now charge the fees in the corresponding currency of whatever country Sellers have Amazon stores, but the subscription fee charges will only be billed for months when Sellers have active listings.

The good news is that no matter how many Amazon stores you have, the total amount for your combined monthly subscription fees remains capped at US $39.99/month per account (or the equivalent amount in other currencies). However, this amount is exclusive of any taxes, except in Brazil and Mexico, plus any fees for foreign transactions which may be charged by either your credit card issuer or bank, and it’s also worth noting that you might see these charges billed to accounts differently.

As an example, if you have multiple Amazon stores across different countries in the Americas region, such as one store in the United States, one store in Canada, one store in Mexico, and another store in Brazil, you will now be billed for your Professional Selling Plan subscription in US Dollars (USD), Canadian Dollars (CAD), Mexican Pesos (MXN), and Brazilian Real (BRL) individually. Still, even with the updated subscription fee calculation method, the total amount charged each month will not go up, but rather it will help you monitor how much you are spending in each country specifically.

Additionally, subscription fees for each store will no longer be billed on their registration’s “mensiversary” (a monthly recurring date of a past event). Instead, all of your subscription fees for your global stores will be aligned, meaning they will all be charged on the same day. In order to align Seller’s billing days, Amazon has said it will give a one-time-only extension on subscriptions at no extra cost where necessary.
