FBA badgeRather than shipping the merchandise to the buyer to fulfill the order, the seller ships it to an Amazon Fulfillment Center (see above), where it is stored until the order is received, and then shipped from there to the buyer. The products feature a ‘Fulfillment by Amazon’ badge, and Prime members enjoy all the benefits of buying straight from Amazon. The downside is Amazon charges stocking fees, and handles all the aspects of fulfillment – shipping, handling, returns and refunds.
