Amazon announced on April 13 that it will add a five percent “fuel and inflation surcharge” to seller fees in the United States in an effort to offset its rising costs as inflation levels soar across the country.

The e-commerce giant said the new surcharge will go into effect on April 28 and will apply to sellers who use its “Fulfillment by Amazon” service, which includes storing, packing, and shipping products.
