The surcharge, a first for the e-commerce giant, will go into effect on April 28.

It’s estimated almost 90% of Amazon’s more than 2 million sellers use its FBA service.

Analysts predict many will pass the increase on to their customers.

“FBA sellers can only handle so much margin compression before customers are affected.”
