Such fees, charged from sellers for every item sold on the platform, are an important source of revenue for the ecommerce major<\/a>. The e-tailer makes such shifts every few months, with the last update coming in May 2023. Sometimes, sellers tend to pass on the hit from such fee hikes to customers through higher product pricing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A variety of categories like car electronics, camera accessories, keyboards and mouses, and personal care appliances went from a single flat price to a tiered price system. Categories such as beauty products like moisturiser and sunscreen (range starting at 6.5% against 2.5% earlier), grocery and gourmet gifts (range starting at 9% vs at 6% earlier), doors and windows (a flat 10% vs a range starting at 5% earlier) and 3D printers (flat 10% now vs 7% earlier) were among the steepest hikes.<\/p>\n

A few categories also saw a slight decrease, like inverter and batteries (4.5% now against 5.5% earlier) and fragrances (range starting at 12.5% now against flat 14% earlier).<\/p>\n

In a statement, Amazon India said seller fees and incentives were \u201cstrong long-term levers\u201d that would help individual businesses and the marketplace. \u201cThese changes reflect our commitment to make Amazon.in one of the most preferred marketplaces for selling in India and creating right choices for sellers to grow efficiently,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n
