What is the recommended action when an FBA product is flagged as 'stranded inventory'?
Answer: Fix the listing issue or create a removal order
Stranded inventory has no active listing, so sellers must relist it or remove it to avoid storage fees.
Which fee does Amazon charge as a percentage of the item's sale price across most categories?
Answer: Referral fee
The referral fee is a category-based percentage of the total sale price.
What does the FBA 'New Selection' program offer eligible sellers?
Answer: Reduced or waived fees on newly listed FBA products
FBA New Selection waives certain storage and removal fees on new-to-FBA ASINs to encourage listing.
What is the purpose of an FBA removal order?
Answer: To return or dispose of inventory from fulfillment centers
A removal order has Amazon ship inventory back to the seller or dispose of it.
Which metric measures how efficiently FBA inventory sells relative to storage held?
Answer: Inventory Performance Index (IPI)
The Inventory Performance Index (IPI) scores inventory health and affects storage limits.
What can happen if a seller's IPI score falls below Amazon's threshold?
Answer: Storage limits are imposed and overage fees apply
A low IPI can trigger storage limits and overage fees for exceeding them.
What is required on products before they are shipped into FBA?
Answer: Compliant FNSKU labels or manufacturer barcodes
FBA units must be labeled with an FNSKU or use eligible manufacturer barcodes so Amazon can track them.
