Amazon and Flipkart hike seller cancellation fees ahead of festive season

Amazon and Flipkart have revised their seller cancellation fee structures just before the festive shopping season. Flipkart has rolled out a three-tier penalty system targeting order fulfilment failures, while Amazon is raising closing fees across its fulfilment channels. The changes are intended to encourage better inventory planning and enhance the overall customer experience on both platforms. However, sellers have raised concerns that the increased charges will strain their already thin operating margins and add to their financial burden.
