NEW DELHI: Starting May 31, Amazon India will increase seller fees for a number of key categories like apparels, beauty, groceries and medicines.
Experts say that the hike could make products costlier on the platform as sellers are likely to pass on the increase to customers. The platform’s fees for handling product returns will also increase significantly, a leading English daily reported on May 16.

As a part of our recent fee revision, we have made certain changes to our fee rate card, including introduction of new fee categories and also reduction of fees in certain categories,” the report said, quoting a company spokesperson.
Seller fees is the commission that Amazon charges from sellers for selling their products on its platform.
