Low-price FBA provides reduced fulfilment fees for eligible products. The former Small and Light programme is not the right rate card for current planning. This guide focuses on Germany; other stores have their own thresholds and conditions.
Current programme scope
Amazon's German programme page describes expanded eligibility up to €20 in most categories, with a maximum of 35 × 25 × 12 cm and 400 g for that expanded range. Category exclusions and other tariff cases apply. A price below €20 alone does not establish eligibility.
Eligible rates are applied automatically. Check the actual fee preview and current calculator for the specific ASIN, packaging and fulfilment programme.
Test the entire price change
Illustrative model: A price cut reduces net revenue by €0.80 and saves €0.35 in fulfilment fees. Contribution initially falls by €0.45 per unit. A cheaper fee band alone does not make the new price more profitable.
Calculate referral fees, fulfilment, returns and advertising at both prices. Determine the extra volume required and run a bounded test. Also consider how price changes affect later promotions and reference-price requirements.
Before changing the range
Measure the packaged product. Check category eligibility and exceptions. Recalculate using the current rate card, taking care not to add surcharges twice when they are already included. Compare contribution and cash requirements, not just the advertised fulfilment saving.
