Third Party Sellers on Amazon May Have To Shell Out An Additional Fee - Here's Why
Portfolio Pulse from Anusuya Lahiri
Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:AMZN) is introducing a new 2% fee for third-party sellers who manage their own shipping, set to begin in October. This is in addition to the 15% commission these merchants already pay to sell their goods on Amazon's marketplace. The new fee is seen as a tactic to coerce merchants into adopting Amazon's logistics services. The move comes as Amazon faces a potential antitrust lawsuit from the U.S. government.
