FBA Grade and Resell now available in Canada
FBA Grade and Resell is now available in our Canada store. The program allows you to recover value from unfulfillable customer returned items by relisting them as Used, and reduces waste by giving products a second life.
With FBA Grade and Resell, we automatically evaluate eligible returned products and relist them as Used in our Canada store. You have full control over pricing, and there are no program fees.
To enable FBA Grade and Resell:
- Go to Fulfilment by Amazon settings.
- Select Automated unfulfillable settings.
- Find FBA Grade and Resell in your recovery options and select the ASINs you’d like to enrol.

Commingling practices will end effective March 31, 2026
In March, we’ll end commingling practices across our supply chain and update eligibility criteria for using manufacturer barcodes.
Commingling is when we fulfil customer orders using exact product matches from the closest available inventory in the Amazon fulfilment network, even if that inventory belonged to a different seller, to achieve faster delivery speeds. Now that most sellers maintain inventory levels that keep products close to customers, we can achieve fast delivery without commingling.
The following requirements will go into effect for inventory shipped on or after March 31, 2026:
- Brand owners with the brand representative selling role in Amazon Brand Registry will no longer need to apply Amazon barcode stickers to prevent commingling for products that already have manufacturer barcodes (such as UPC, ISBN). This means more flexibility in how you manage inventory because you will not need to pre-allocate units to Amazon or other channels. For more information, go to How to switch to manufacturer barcodes.
- Resellers (not enrolled in Amazon Brand Registry as a brand representative selling role) will now be required to use Amazon barcode stickers for products even if they have a manufacturer barcode. If you are already using these stickers, you can continue to follow your existing process.
- For products that do not have a manufacturer barcode, both brand owners and resellers will need to use Amazon barcode stickers.
For more information, go to Fulfilment by Amazon barcode choice and labelling FAQ.
We want to thank you for your continued partnership in serving customers with amazing products, great prices and convenient delivery. Our partnership has driven record-breaking sales for independent sellers like you.
Over the last two years, we’ve achieved significant milestones and have continued to invest in our Canadian and North American fulfilment network, sub same day and overnight delivery capabilities and the addition of new operations sites to help enable even faster delivery speeds. We’ve also been working hard to drive innovation and efficiencies that keep costs down, which helps us keep fee increases low for you. For 2026, we’re pleased to announce there will be no increases to Canada referral and Fulfilment by Amazon fees.
Additionally, effective November 5, 2025, we’re introducing the following new benefits to enhance your selling experience:
- Variable coupon fees will be capped at CAD 500 per coupon to lower your cost of promoting products. For more details, go to Coupon fees.
- We are launching a new FBA Liquidations program that can help you quickly recover value from excess and customer-returned inventory while freeing up space and cash flow for investment in faster-growing products. Liquidations fees will include a 15% referral fee plus a per-item processing fee based on size and weight. For items 0-5 kg, processing fees range from CAD 0.25 to CAD 1.90, with an additional CAD 0.20 per kg for items over 5 kg. For complete details, go to FBA Liquidations.
We’re also providing improved tools to make it easier for you to optimize your sales and profitability. To understand how these changes will impact your business, you can use Revenue Calculator and Fee and Economics Preview report. You can also use the new Profit Analytics dashboard to get a detailed view of your unit economics, including the ability to see how fee changes impact each of your products.
For specific fee change details, go to 2026 Canada referral and Fulfilment by Amazon fees.
Thank you for selling in Amazon’s store. Your success remains our priority as we continue to provide enhanced capabilities to support your business growth and provide you with a great value. We appreciate your partnership and look forward to an even greater year of seller success in 2026.
We’ve heard your feedback about how reports based only on payout timing made accrual reconciliation more difficult, especially when some transactions are deferred.
By April 30, 2026, we’ll update the Date Range Transaction and Summary reports for our US, Canada, Mexico and Brazil stores.
This change applies to the following users:
- Sellers who are subject to delivery-date based reserve policies and can view deferred transactions on the Payments dashboard
- Developers who access transaction reports through the reports API
The updated reports will provide a clearer view of accrued earnings for month-end reconciliation and financial reporting.
By April 30, when you request a Transaction or Summary report for a period beginning January 1, 2025, you’ll notice three key improvements:
- All posted transactions are in one place. Your reports will include both transactions that have already been released to your balance, as well as transactions that are deferred under delivery-date based policies. You no longer must download separate deferred transaction reports to view deferred activity.
- Activity is indexed by posted date. The Date/Time column in Transaction reports will reflect the transaction posted date, rather than the release date or payout eligibility date. This posted date provides a more consistent view of activity during the period that you select.
- You have clear visibility into deferred versus released statuses in same report. There will be a new column in Transaction reports that shows whether a transaction is deferred or released. An additional column, transaction release date, will indicate when the transaction was released. If a transaction remains deferred, the release date field will be blank.
If you have existing integrations with third-party financial systems, we recommend that you update your mappings or scripts. Note that reports for periods before January 1, 2025, will continue to follow the prior format. We plan to roll out similar reporting updates for additional stores by June 30, 2026.
To view your reports, follow these steps:
- Go to Payments and select Reports repository.
- Under Account type select All (unified reports).
- Under Report type, select Summary or Transaction.
- Set the start date in the Reporting date range as January 1, 2025 or later.
- Click Request report.
For more information, go to Payment Date Range Transaction and Summary reports.

We’ve enhanced the image upload process in Upload Images to make managing images for your product catalogue faster and more flexible.
Here are the key improvements:
- Increased upload capacity: In Upload images, include both multiple individual images and zip files in each upload session.
- Flexible file naming: Choose between two naming options for more control on how you manage your images:
- Standard format: Product ID + variant + extension
- Custom naming: Name files as desired and assign them to your product within the tool
- Simplified sibling ASIN management: Upload images for one ASIN and copy them to ASINs that are visually similar with Assign Images or Image Manager tools. This eliminates the need to manually copy, rename and upload each time.
To learn more, visit the User Guide in each tool or visit Upload images, Assign images and Manage images help pages.

To get assistance on Account Health enquiries during the holidays, contact Account Health Support — a dedicated support channel for you.
To set up vacation status, go to Store status and vacation settings.
