Pan-European FBA vs Single-Country vs EFN
If you're selling across multiple European marketplaces, you have three fulfillment options:
1. Single-Country FBA
You send inventory only to one country's fulfillment center (e.g., Germany). Buyers in other countries see your listings but Amazon may not offer Prime. Best for: Testing a single market or selling low volume.
2. Pan-European FBA
You ship inventory to one EU fulfillment center (typically Germany). Amazon redistributes to centers across the EU as needed. You pay only the domestic fulfillment fee of the country where you originally ship. Best for: Multi-country sellers who want broad coverage with simpler fee management.
3. European Fulfillment Network (EFN)
You store inventory in one country and ship to buyers across all EU marketplaces. Amazon charges an additional cross-border fee for EFN shipments. Best for: Sellers with lower volumes who want to appear on all marketplaces.
Example: 500g product, £25 sale price in UK, 1 month storage
UK Single-Country FBA:
Referral (15%): £3.75
Fulfillment (Standard ≤1kg): £3.20
Storage (approx 0.1 cu ft): £0.07
Total Fees: £7.02 (28.1% effective rate)
Net Payout: £17.98
Compare to US: A $25 equivalent sale with US FBA costs approximately $7.50–$9.00 in fees (30–36%), making European FBA similarly competitive at this price point.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much are Amazon FBA referral fees in Europe?
Amazon referral fees in Europe range from 7% (Books, Music) to 15% for most general categories. Electronics and computers are typically 12%. These rates are broadly consistent across all five EU marketplaces (UK, DE, FR, IT, ES).
What is the difference between Pan-European FBA and EFN?
Pan-European FBA costs more upfront (you pay to move inventory across borders) but you pay only domestic fulfillment rates for every sale.

Do I need VAT registration for Amazon Europe FBA?
