Donald Trump’s Tariffs Will Force Amazon To Choose Between Low Prices Or U.S. Sellers
Amazon is facing an unprecedented balancing act - trying to compete with Chinese marketplaces on price while simultaneously keeping its marketplace an attractive place to do business for its U.S. suppliers. Now, Donald Trump's proposed tariffs of up to 60% on Chinese imports threaten to make this juggling act impossible. The retail giant's recent moves reflect this tension. Earlier this month, Amazon launched "Haul," a new shopping experience targeting price-conscious consumers with items under $20. This direct response to competitors like Temu came alongside an unusual decision to freeze seller fees for 2025.

Amazon Opts for No Fulfillment Fee Increases in 2025
Amazon won’t increase or add new fulfillment fees for its third-party sellers in 2025, according to an announcement Tuesday. The e-commerce giant said it continues to lower its cost to serve customers after shifting to a regional fulfillment model, allowing it to avoid hiking Fulfillment by Amazon fees even in the face of inflation and employee investments. Amazon will also lower charges in certain cases. This includes inbound placement service fees for large and bulky products under the company’s “minimal shipment splits” plan, which will drop by $0.58 per unit on average starting Jan. 15.
