Amazon is bringing eBay, Shopify, TikTok and Walmart orders, listings and profitability into Seller Central, free, for US sellers over the coming months. Here is what the new multichannel selling tools do, what they leave open, and how to keep your per-channel profit honest while they roll out.
FedEx has published its 2027 rates: standard list rates rise an average of 5.9% on January 4, and the surcharges that land on a typical residential parcel, such as the Residential Delivery Charge and, for listed ZIP codes, the Delivery Area Surcharge, rise with them. Here is what changes, when, and how to check the effect on your own margins before the new rates apply.
The carriers most Amazon sellers depend on have now published their 2026 holiday surcharges, and they start on five different dates between September 27 and October 26. The headline numbers mostly belong to enterprise shippers. The fees that will actually land on your account are smaller, quieter, and easier to avoid.
Amazon has widened the listing requirement for Pan-European FBA. Since 3 September 2026 every enrolled product, new or existing, must carry an active offer on Amazon.nl, and from 26 February 2027 products enrolling in the programme will also need an active offer in Belgium. Here is what Amazon actually said, who can claim an exemption, and what it means for your fees and VAT.
Sellers keep reporting the same thing: the referral fee on a SKU jumps, and nothing about the listing changed. The explanation is a category you cannot see on your own product page.

On July 12 USPS made its published Commercial Ground Advantage prices identical across the 4, 8, 12 and 15.999 ounce increments. Parcels priced on the lower increments rose to meet the top price, while that top price row did not change. Here is how to work out which of your SKUs were actually affected.
A new 25% US tariff on many Brazilian imports takes effect July 22, 2026, subject to extensive exemptions and the latest move in a volatile trade year. Import duties do not touch your Amazon fees, but they change your landed cost, and that is where your real margin is decided.
Amazon is tightening Fulfilled by Merchant rules across the UK and Germany in 2026 - but the deadlines differ by country. Germany gets a new 90% on-time delivery requirement, with affected listings at risk of deactivation from September 1; the UK's OTDR rule was already in force. Add shorter handling times and new Amazon Business delivery standards, and here's what's changing, where, and how to protect your margins.
