What if Amazon’s decision to freeze fee stability in 2025 isn’t the win it seems? Sellers on Amazon Seller Central forums are buzzing about the company holding steady on referral and FBA fees—no increases here. But many see it as a red flag for a shaky economy. Could Amazon be bracing for a retail slump, with consumer spending dipping and your profits at risk?

Some speculate it’s a play to keep Amazon sellers from jumping ship to rivals like Walmart or Temu, where fees are lower. X posts hint at relief with fee cuts for bulky items and waivers via the FBA New Selection Program—but caution lingers. Inflation fears and market shifts mean tighter margins. Our tip? Diversify your channels and lean on AMZ Sellers Attorney® to crunch the numbers and strategize for stability.

Return policies are turning into a nightmare for Amazon sellers in 2025, with return rates soaring thanks to wardrobing and bracketing. Sellers on X report buyers returning worn gear or extra sizes, piling on costs with longer processing and a new 20% refund fee. A rumored January 1 fee for high-return sellers (exempting those under 25 units monthly) has forums in a frenzy—fair or foul?
This reverse logistics mess is hitting your profits hard. Our advice: tweak your refund policy, use return software, and price smarter. AMZ Sellers Attorney® can review your setup, ensure policy compliance, and fight unfair penalties. Watch our video for insider tips on slashing return losses.
