Amazon only shares placement fees as a lump sum through its API, which means they appear unitemized in our reports—making it difficult to determine your true profit per item. However, Seller Central does offer a detailed breakdown of these fees.

To help with this, we've made it easier to upload itemized placement fees to ConnectBooks. Here's how:

Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Log in to Seller Central

    • Go to your Reports tab, then select Fulfillment.

    • On the left-hand side, find the Payments section.

    • Click on FBA Inbound Placement Service Fees.

  2. Download the Report

    • Click the Download tab.

    • Select the date range you want to itemize (we recommend doing this monthly, once all settlements for the month have closed).

    • Click Request .CSV Download.

  3. Upload to ConnectBooks

    • Log in to ConnectBooks.

    • Go to Accounting Export, then select the relevant Amazon channel.

    • On the top right, click Itemize Fees.

    • Upload your downloaded .CSV file.

ConnectBooks will begin processing your file, and itemization can take up to 5 minutes. Once complete, the placement fees will appear itemized per product.

Troubleshooting:

  • If some fees still appear under "unitemized," it could be due to open settlements for the selected date range. Once those settlements close, re-upload the same report.

  • You can also upload historical reports to retroactively itemize fees, such as for January or any prior month.
