Tips to Improve Your Amazon Profit Margin
Optimize your FBA size tier
FBA fees jump between size tiers. Reducing packaging by even 1–2cm can move you to a lower tier and save $1–$2 per unit — which adds up to thousands per year at scale.
Double-check your category listing
Wrong category means wrong referral fee. Electronics at 8% vs general merchandise at 15% is a 7% difference on every sale. Always verify your category is correct before going live.
Switch to Professional plan early
At just 40 sales/month, Professional ($39.99) beats Individual ($0.99/item). It also unlocks Sponsored Ads and the Buy Box — both essential for growing your Amazon business.
Keep inventory at 30–60 days supply
Stock below 28 days triggers the Low Inventory Fee ($0.32–$1.11/unit). Stock over 90 days risks aged inventory charges. The sweet spot is 30–60 days of forecasted sales.
