It’s the second fee hike imposed on merchants this year by the company.
From Oct. 15 to Jan. 14, sellers will be hit with an average fee of $0.35 per item sold using Amazon’s fulfillment services in the U.S. and Canada, according to a notice the company sent to merchants Tuesday.
To use Amazon’s fulfillment services, merchants already have to pay a fee that varies based on an item’s size, weight or category. “Our selling partners are incredibly important to us, and this is not a decision we made lightly,” the company said.Holiday pricing adjustments are not novel to Amazon. Last week, the U.S. Postal Service said it filed a notice to implement a temporary price hike to cover extra handling costs during the holiday season.
“Corporations that have monopoly power tend to raise prices, and that’s what we’re seeing here,” said Stacy Mitchell, an Amazon critic and co-director for the anti-monopoly group Institute for Local Self-Reliance. “Amazon’s dominance of the online market means that small businesses have little choice but to pay up.”
