Big news! Amazon limits total FBA inventory, all European and American sites affected

New stores: It is understood that the replenishment limit for all storage types of new sellers is 1,000 pieces. At present, many new stores have reached the limit and cannot ship. Even if they can ship, slow sea transportation and slow listing can easily lead to out-of-stock, and the out-of-stock inventory limit will be further reduced, and then the replenishment will be slow and out-of-stock, which will fall into an endless cycle;

Sellers who sell goods in bulk: Sellers with a large number of SKUs will be impacted to a certain extent, and large stores with fine distribution will face challenges;

Seasonal product sellers: It is not clear how often Amazon updates its total inventory quantity limit, but if it is really updated once a week as the sellers claim, the impact on seasonal product sellers is still relatively large. Seasonal products have slow turnover and low sales rates. If they are in the off-season, the total inventory will be strictly limited. Once they suddenly become popular during the peak season, Amazon's failure to update the limit in a timely manner can easily lead to sellers not replenishing their products in time, resulting in out-of-stock.

Optimize inventory, increase inventory turnover, and reduce inventory of products with low turnover. This requires sellers to eliminate some useless products and focus on making high-quality products.

Clear redundant inventory in a timely manner, increase sales through promotional means such as Outlet Deals, advertising, flash sales, price cuts, etc., create removal orders, remove or abandon inventory, etc.;

Change the delivery method. Sea freight generally has a poor timeliness, but air freight costs are relatively high, so it is time for sellers to consider the feasibility of overseas warehouses.
