How Amazon Fees Work for Patio, Lawn & Garden
Amazon charges a 15% referral fee on Patio, Lawn & Garden products. This category includes outdoor furniture, grills and smokers, lawn mowers, garden tools, planters and pots, outdoor lighting, pools and spas, bird feeders, and garden decor. The fee applies to the total sales price.
This is one of the most heavily seasonal categories on Amazon, with the vast majority of sales occurring between March and August in the Northern Hemisphere. Sellers need to begin listing and building reviews in late winter to capture the spring rush. The biggest logistical challenge in this category is product size: patio furniture sets, grills, and large garden equipment are almost always classified as oversized or special oversize by Amazon, incurring FBA fulfillment fees that can exceed $100 per unit. Many established sellers in this category operate primarily as FBM sellers or use third-party logistics providers to maintain better shipping cost control.

Tips for Selling Patio, Lawn & Garden on Amazon
Begin your advertising campaigns by February to build ranking momentum before the spring garden buying season peaks in April-May.
Invest in weather-durability photography and testing documentation, as outdoor product buyers are primarily concerned with how products hold up through seasons.
Use FBM or third-party logistics for large patio furniture and grills where FBA oversized fees would eliminate your margins entirely.
Offer replacement parts and covers for your outdoor products as separate listings to create ongoing accessory revenue and extend customer lifetime value.
