Amazon changed your FBA fee. Know the same day.

Short answer

Amazon does not send a notification when the FBA fee on one of your ASINs changes. Notifcentral pulls your fee estimates from the Selling Partner API every six hours, compares each ASIN against its previous snapshot, and pushes an alert showing the old amount, the new amount, and the per-unit difference. It covers eight fee types across all your listings, with no ASIN limit.

How often

Every 6 hours

Every six hours, Notifcentral saves your fee estimates and compares each ASIN with its previous values. A change to any of the eight monitored fee types sends an alert with the old and new figures.

What the alert looks like

What it costs to find out late

A wrong measurement can double a fee.

Sellers on the Amazon Seller Forums keep reporting the same problem. A warehouse measures a product into a higher size tier, Amazon sends no alert or email, and the seller finds out months later. One seller on Reddit said two SKUs were charged at the wrong tier for five months before anyone noticed.

Amazon Seller Forums, Apr 2026: $40.43 -> $88.93 per order after Amazon mis-measured the product

Small per-unit increases add up.

A $1.49/unit increase at 600 units a month is $894 a month, or $10,728 a year, on one ASIN.

$1.49/unit x 600 units = $894/mo undiscovered cost

A dispute is easier while the change is recent.

Amazon will re-measure on request and can reimburse an overcharge. The case is far easier to argue while the change is recent and you still have the numbers.

What to do when it fires

  1. Check the dimensions Amazon has on file

    Open the ASIN in Seller Central and compare Amazon's recorded length, width, height and weight with the packed product. If the size tier went up but your packaging did not change, the measurement is probably wrong.

  2. Request a remeasurement (Cubiscan)

    If the recorded dimensions are wrong, open a case asking for the unit to be re-measured. Amazon runs the product through a Cubiscan and updates the record.

  3. Ask for the overcharge back

    Once Amazon confirms the corrected dimensions, ask for reimbursement on units already fulfilled at the wrong tier. Include the date the fee changed, which is in the alert.

  4. Re-check the margin at the new fee

    If the new fee is correct, check whether the ASIN still makes your minimum margin at that fee, then decide whether to reprice or delist.

Questions about fba fee changes alerts

Within six hours. Amazon offers no push notification for fee changes, so Notifcentral checks your fee estimates every six hours. A tool that advertises instant fee alerts still has to check the same Amazon data on a schedule.

Eight: Referral, FBA Fulfillment, FBA Pick & Pack, FBA Weight Handling, FBA Order Handling, FBA Delivery Services, Variable Closing and Fixed Closing. Referral is compared as a percentage; the rest are compared as absolute per-unit amounts.

No. Every active listing on every connected marketplace is monitored, whether you have 10 ASINs or 10,000. There is no per-ASIN pricing.

Referral and closing fees apply to FBM listings and are monitored. The FBA-specific fulfilment fees only exist on FBA listings.
