Amazon’s decision to recalibrate commission rates for clothing items has sent ripples through the seller community. Navigating these changes is critical for sellers in the fashion category.
Tiered Commission Reductions
For clothing items priced below $15, the sales commission undergoes a significant drop from 17% to 5%. Meanwhile, items priced between $15 and $20 will experience a reduction from 17% to 10%.
Implications for New Sellers
These alterations open doors for new clothing sellers listing items under $20, enabling them to leverage reduced fees. Coupled with the New Seller Welcome Package, offering a 5% discount on the first $1 million in sales, these sellers may effectively pay minimal to no commissions initially.
