Update to automated inventory removals on Amazon starts October 14

Recently, Amazon announced a change to their automated unfulfillable inventory policy, meaning that unsellable units which have been in their FBA warehouses for more than 14 days will get automatically removed. Previously, the policy only applied to units which have been in FBA warehouses for over 30 days.

You can still submit removal orders for unfulfillable inventory any time before 14 days.

Here you can view a screenshot of the e-mail from Amazon regarding the matter:

Here is a copy of the wording in English:

Reminder: Update to automated inventory removals starts October 14

Hello,

In preparation for the holiday season, we’re making a change to the automated removal of unfulfillable inventory to help you manage your inventory more effectively.
From October 14, 2022, we’ll automatically remove unfulfillable inventory that’s been in fulfillment centers for more than 14 days. Previously, the removals applied to unfulfillable inventory that had been in fulfillment centers for more than 30 days.
You can still submit removal orders for unfulfillable inventory any time before 14 days.
This update will help you save on storage fees and improve your Inventory Performance Index score by removing unfulfillable items sooner. You can also have unfulfillable inventory refurbished, liquidated, or returned to you automatically by updating your settings.
To manage your unfulfillable inventory settings, go to Automated unfulfillable settings.
If you previously configured your settings to remove unfulfillable inventory on a monthly basis, the frequency will be updated to twice a month from October 14.
For more information, go to Remove inventory automatically.

I hope you found this article helpful. 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!
