This site is "dead"! Just now, Amazon officially announced...

Amazon FBA has been in trouble recently. The US site has just stopped warehousing, and the Japanese site has restricted the inventory limit!


Recently, Amazon Japan suddenly notified buyers that it has decided to reset the inventory storage limit! The inventory limit for standard products has been changed to 500, and the inventory limit for large products has been changed to 259. The reason is that due to the busy business period at the end of the year, the inventory storage space of FBA warehouses has begun to approach the limit.



This change will take effect from December 11, 2019. When the inventory level reaches the upper limit, sellers will not be able to create new warehousing plans.

 

Moreover, Amazon continued its usual overbearing style with this notification, notifying and executing on the same day!


It can be seen that the notice was sent out on December 11th and was implemented on the same day. I can only say that my brother-in-law has really learned his lesson this time. After all, the American site received many complaints about what happened the day before yesterday, so now the Japanese site has changed its approach and adopted a restriction policy, which will be implemented on the same day, leaving you no chance to complain!


After the policy was announced, many buyers checked their inventory limits as soon as possible, but strangely, it seemed that each buyer’s limit was different!


Take standard parts for example, some buyers limit it to 550 pieces, and some buyers limit it to 500 pieces! Based on the above situation, the editor speculates that the upper limit of the inventory in the Japanese warehouse is set by Amazon based on the store operations of each seller, and Amazon's official statement is based on the inventory on December 11, 2019, and the upper limit will also be allocated according to the specific situation of the seller's store. However, at present, everyone is around 500.

The changed inventory limit is really a headache! It may not be enough for ordinary small sellers, let alone those big sellers with tens of thousands of orders!


What’s more, Christmas is coming, and many people are counting on this last wave of orders at the end of the year. Now, orders have not exploded yet, but the inventory will definitely explode.


What should sellers do?


The 500 inventory limit may put some sellers at risk of out-of-stock. Sellers can take the following measures:

Price increase

Insufficient inventory and facing out-of-stock, raising prices is the most direct way! Raising product prices and reducing the number of orders can reduce the impact. However, raising prices will lead to a decrease in listing conversion rate, thus affecting the store weight, and then affecting sellers.

rank ranking.


Transfer to overseas warehouse

If FBA does not accept the goods, sellers can forward the goods on the way to overseas warehouses to minimize the impact of out-of-stock during the peak season!


Sell ​​your own listing

When FBA is out of stock, sellers can adopt the method of self-delivery and follow-sell their own listings to ensure that the ranking does not drop too much.

Amazon has limited the number of inventory, and Japanese sellers are the first to be affected, but they will not be the last! Sellers should pay close attention to Amazon's background notifications, follow up their goods in transit and warehouse status in real time, arrange shipments reasonably, and avoid losses!
