Peak season 2023, unprecedented low sales while have to pay 2.7 times storage fee than usual time
Well, after they charged me the storage fee for October, I have to say, there is nothing like peak season ever, whether for the traffic, sales, orders. While I still got high returns though and of course, 2.7 times storage fee than usual time. This is so overwhelming.

I paid $62,000 more in fees this year than last year on 8% lower sales. And now this three tier's of storage is going to jack that amount up any more.

Agree - they've pretty much made it less profitable to use FBA at this point with how high the fees have become. You used to be able to save money when you used FBA vs your own fulfillment, but not anymore.

Same here, the storage fee is too expensive!! My sales this month are not enough to pay the storage fee. I feel like I'm going to lose money running Amazon.
I'm wondering if Amazon has begun to decline, so they needs to start searching for funds from sellers or other way.
Some of our products are made of textile fabrics and are packed flat, but they can be folded and shipped in the smallest box. But they still use fixed machine measurement to charge high FBA fees.
VERY DOWN!

Starting to gradually lose confidence in Amazon...

If Amazon keeps exploiting 3rd party sellers, it will be beaten soon by Temu

In the same boat, actually quite scary. The only thing relieving is that im not the only one
