Amazon this week announced it will be surcharge 5% the sellers because of fuel and inflation, starting on April 28.

Amazon says it has “experienced significant cost increases, and it is unclear if the inflationary costs will go up or down, or for how long they will persist, so rather than a permanent fee change, Amazon will employ a fuel and inflation surcharge for the first time - a mechanism broadly used across supply chain providers.”

The fuel and inflation surcharge of 5% applies on top of the current Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) fulfillment fee per unit rates.
