Overview

Amazon will change the way it invoices sellers for Fulfilled‑by‑Amazon (FBA) removal and disposal services starting February 15 2026. Instead of a single lump‑sum charge for an entire order, each unit will be billed individually as it is processed. The fee amounts stay the same, but the new per‑unit posting method will affect how sellers track expenses, manage cash flow, and reconcile accounts.

Key Points

• Per‑unit billing replaces consolidated charges — Every item removed or disposed generates its own line‑item entry, so a 200‑unit overstock removal that previously appeared as one $300 fee will now show 200 separate $1.50 entries on the Payments report.
• Fee amounts stay unchanged — The current per‑unit rates (for example, $0.50 for removal and $0.30 for disposal) remain identical; only the timing and granularity of the charge are being altered.
• Effective February 15 2026 — All removal or disposal requests created on or after this date will follow the new billing model, while orders placed before the cutoff continue to be billed under the old lump‑sum system.
• Transaction volume in payment statements will rise sharply — A single large order can produce hundreds of new rows, turning what used to be one line item into a detailed ledger of individual unit charges.
• Cash‑flow timing shifts earlier for big batches — Fees begin posting as soon as the first unit is processed, meaning a 1,000‑unit post‑holiday clearance could start charging the seller days before the final unit is handled.
• No manual opt‑in required — Amazon will automatically apply the per‑unit billing method; sellers do not need to enable any setting or submit a request.
• Accounting platforms may need reconfiguration — Third‑party bookkeeping tools that aggregate Amazon fees by order ID must be updated to recognize the influx of per‑unit entries, otherwise reconciliation errors can occur.
• Dispute resolution could become more precise — Because each charge is tied to a specific unit, sellers can more easily isolate and contest a single problematic removal if Amazon’s processing deviates from expectations.
