Amazon is giving third-party sellers more time and exceptions to adjust to a new product supply fee. The fee applies to standard-sized products with less than 28 days of inventory relative to historical demand. Originally, Amazon started crediting sellers back in April if they incurred the charge, as a way to help them adjust. The credits were supposed to end on April 30, but Amazon has extended the credit period until May 14. Sellers will receive the credit by May 31. Amazon aims to incentivize optimal product supply and improve delivery speeds and in-stock levels under its new regional fulfillment model.
