contents Magnetometry and magnetoresistance (MR) data taken on the van der Waals ferromagnet Fe$_{3-x}$GeTe$_2$ (FGT) reveal three distinct contributions to the MR: a linear negative component, a contribution from closed Fermi-surface orbits, and a $H^2$ enhancement linked to a non-coplanar spin arrangement. Contrary to earlier studies on FGT, by accounting for the field dependence of the anomalous Hall effect, we find that the ordinary Hall coefficient decreases markedly below 80 K, indicating a significant change in character of the electrons and holes on the Fermi surface at this temperature. The resulting altered ground state eventually causes the Hall coefficient to reverse sign at 35 K. Our Hall data support the proposal that Kondo-lattice behavior develops in this $d$-electron material below 80 K. Additional evidence comes from the negative linear component of the MR, which arises from electron-magnon scattering with an atypical temperature dependence attributable to the onset of Kondo screening.
