Seller Incentives — Amazon seller fee programs

Seller Incentives is a set of Amazon seller fee programs that helps sellers add products and test regional launches. The three programs I own drive $16B+ in annual sales (GMS).

    Sales

    Same Value-Based Incentive A/B test

2.1

The seller decision

Third-party sellers decide which products to add and whether to expand beyond a regional launch. The fee and incentive programs address different barriers in those decisions.

2.2

The three programs

  • Value-Based Incentives rewards sellers for launching in-demand products.

  • FBA Jumpstart lets sellers test new products in one region before a national launch.

  • High-ASP Incentives removes structural barriers for sellers bringing products priced over $50 into FBA.

I own strategy and operating mechanisms for these three programs. I launched FBA Jumpstart and the High-ASP Incentive Program.

2.3

What the experiment measured

In an A/B test of the Value-Based Incentive Program, sellers in the treatment group added 171% more products than the control group and saw 41% higher sales. These results describe that program's test, not a combined result for all three programs.
