According to e-mail notices sent to third party sellers who are using Fulfillment by Amazon, the company will begin assigning unallocated FBA units found in Amazon’s warehouses.
If you are one of the sellers who received this notice, it means that Amazon found lost stock due to an error in one or more of your shipments to an Amazon fulfillment center and they will now add it into your inventory.
It is a mystery whether Amazon is referring to products lost in their warehouses for which sellers were already reimbursed. It looks like these will be the missing units that never appeared as received and now Amazon suddenly found them or decided returning them back to their owners (for some reason).
Here you can view a screenshot of the notice:
Here is the full wording in English:
Unallocated inventory to be assigned to your account Hello, We are contacting you because we’ve identified you as the owner of inventory that had not been previously allocated to your account due to an error in one or more of your shipments to an Amazon fulfillment center. On July 14, 2021, we will begin assigning items to accounts that we determine to be the owner of the unallocated inventory. Between July 14 and July 30, you might start seeing items from past shipments being added back to your account. You have not been charged storage fees for items that were not previously assigned to your account. Once the inventory is assigned to your account, monthly storage fees will apply. For more information, go to our inventory storage fees Help page: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/G3EDYEF6KUCFQTNM If you don’t want to continue offering these items for sale, you can submit a request to remove them. We will waive the removal fee for these specific items until 11:59 p.m. August 27, 2021. Starting 12:00 a.m. August 28, you will be charged the standard removal fee to remove units that were assigned to you. For more information, go to “Remove inventory from a fulfillment center”: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/help/external/201436560 To see inventory that was assigned to your account as part of this effort, download your Inventory Adjustments report after July 30 and filter by following the instructions below: 1. From the “Reports” menu, select “Fulfillment.” 2. Under “Inventory,” click “Inventory Adjustments,” and then click the “Download” tab. 3. From the “Event date” menu, select “Exact dates.” 4. Enter the date range for July 14 to July 30, 2021. 5. Click “Request .csv download” or “Request .txt download.” 6. After the report status changes from “In progress” to “Download,” click “Download” to save the file to your computer. 7. Open the report in a spreadsheet or database program such as Microsoft Excel or Access. 8. Filter the “Reason” column to show “N” only, and filter the “Unreconciled” column to exclude “0” values.

I hope you found this post informative. Many Amazon sellers recently started trading stocks and crypto currencies, hoping to diversify their income, which is a very good idea with all the uncertainty which comes with the platform. For this reason, we launched a new Facebook group, Crypto Arbitrage Income (Bitcoin, Crypto, Altcoins, Blockchain, Trading) – feel free to join us and forget about the troubles of selling on Amazon for a moment!
