SOP: enroll SIPP, then re-read Fee Preview
Who it hits
US bulky and oversize FBA brands advertising through Q4.
What to do this week
Enroll the heroes. Leave bids on the pre-SIPP fee until Fee Preview changes.
Steps
- List bulky heroes you will still advertise after 15 October.
- Open Ships in Product Packaging in Seller Central. Read the current test and certification steps. They change; follow the screen.
- Submit only units that already ship in the certified pack. Do not certify a dieline you have not produced.
- When status flips, pull Fee Preview again. Rebuild break-even. Then, and only then, edit bids.
- Parent brief: SIPP packaging fee.
If enrollment is rejected, the packaging fee stays. Cut the bid or fix the pack. Do not argue with the fee in the ads console.
FAQ
How long does certification take?
Amazon’s queue, not yours. Plan as if Q4 bids stay on the uncertified fee until you see the new Fee Preview.
