FBA fees reports not matching

On the right shows the fba fee which is on main inventory screen.

On the left is from a report we have pulled. Why would they be diffrent fee’s as this really affect the proffit ??


Amazon charge VAT on fees unless you make sure you are registered as VAT exempt and sometimes even then you have to chase them. If you have been selling for a while then you can reclaim VAT on fees if you are not VAT registered. I dis it this year. It is a very lengthy process but worth it in the end. I just followed this video and it took about 4 months to get redunded once - just make sure you send them all the appropriate paperwork quickly when they request it or you might have to start again…

What would make someone vat exempt ? By being under the 85k mark ?

Yes if you/your company are under the VAT threshold and are not VAT registered. Registering with Amazon as VAT exempt is quite easy they just ask for your UTR or company number and possibly a tax return to confirm. The process of getting refunded was a longer one but mostly because once you have submitted the relevant information they take a long time to process it.

Because the column on the right is an estimate

Estimated fee per unit sold

Estimated fee per unit sold is a tool that provides a preview of the core fees for Selling on Amazon and Fulfillment by Amazon when a unit is sold of a specific SKU. You can access this estimate on either the Manage FBA Inventory page or the Manage Inventory page in the column titled Estimated fee per unit sold . The fees shown are based on the list price, estimated shipping cost (where applicable), and available data for the product in our system. The value is only an estimate and actual costs may vary and do not include optional fees.

For information on how to use estimated fee per unit sold, refer to the Article Estimated fee per unit sold.

Just UK on import. The suppliers invoice should be zero as the goods are leaving the EU.
