      <description>Amazon's holiday peak fulfilment fees run from 15 October 2026 to 14 January 2027, averaging $0.32 more per unit, with the 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge applying on top. The change to your ad economics is smaller than most write-ups claim — because the surcharge has been in your fees since April — but it is real, and the first inventory deadline has already passed.</description>

      <description>Amazon's switch from credit-card ad billing to deduction from retail proceeds took effect on 1 August 2026, and most of the coverage got the scope wrong. It applied to a subset of advertisers Amazon contacted directly, not to everyone — and there is a second option, Pay by Invoice on Net 30, that is arguably better than the credit card it replaced.</description>

      <description>Since 27 July 2026 Amazon product titles are capped at 75 characters, with a new 125-character Item Highlights field carrying the overflow. Amazon has been generating the split for non-compliant listings itself, and brand owners get only 14 days to review a suggestion before it publishes — so the urgent job is not rewriting your title, it is checking which version is live right now.</description>
