Overview

Amazon Spain will lower the referral fee for Home Products priced under €20 from 15 % to 8 % starting in 2026. The reduction cuts the fee by nearly half, directly boosting profit margins for sellers who list low‑priced household items on the Spanish marketplace. Sellers with large assortments of kitchen tools, storage solutions, bathroom accessories or small décor will feel the change most acutely.

Key Points

• New fee rate — Home Products under €20 will be charged an 8 % referral fee on Amazon.es, down from the previous 15 % rate.
• Percentage drop — The 7‑point decrease represents almost a 50 % reduction in the cost of selling each qualifying unit.
• Category breadth — The rule applies to the entire Home Products umbrella, including kitchen gadgets, drawer organizers, soap dispensers, picture frames and other everyday home items.
• Geographic limit — The change is exclusive to the Spanish Amazon marketplace; other European sites retain their existing rates.
• Effective date — The revised fee structure becomes active at the beginning of 2026, giving sellers time to adjust pricing and inventory plans.

What's Changing

1. Referral fee calculation — Amazon will compute the fee as 8 % of the item’s sale price for any Home Products SKU priced below €20.
   Example: A kitchen whisk sold for €12 will now incur a €0.96 fee instead of the €1.80 fee that applied under the 15 % rule.
2. Eligibility threshold — Only products whose list price is strictly under €20 qualify; items priced at €20 or higher continue to be charged the standard 15 % rate.
   Example: A decorative vase listed at €20 remains subject to the 15 % fee, while the same vase listed at €19.99 switches to the 8 % rate.
3. Fee schedule update — Amazon will automatically apply the new rate to qualifying orders once the 2026 launch date passes; sellers do not need to submit a separate request.
   Example: A seller with 500 units of a bathroom soap dispenser sold in March 2026 will see the reduced fee reflected on each transaction without any manual intervention.
