E-commerce giants Amazon India and Flipkart have restructured their seller fee and penalty policies ahead of the annual festive shopping season. Under Amazon's revised policy, order cancellation charges for Easy Ship and Self Ship sellers will shift from fixed category referral charges to a tiered percentage of order value, ranging from 2% to 10% plus 18% GST. The penalty applies if sellers cancel orders or fail to confirm shipment within 24 hours. Amazon is also increasing closing fees across fulfilment models, raising financial pressure on small and medium enterprises operating on thin margins.
