How to Handle Stranded Inventory Efficiently on Amazon FBA

Sell On Amazon

Hello

I recently noticed that some of my FBA inventory is marked as “stranded,” meaning it’s stuck in Amazon’s fulfillment centers but not available for sale. This is frustrating because it affects my sales & storage fees keep adding up. :slightly_smiling_face:

I have checked the reasons listed in Seller Central; but resolving the issue isn’t always straightforward sometimes it’s a suppressed listing, other times it’s an ASIN issue / an account setting that needs adjustment. :innocent:

What’s the best way to systematically identify & resolve stranded inventory issues? Are there specific tools or reports within Seller Central that help speed up the process? Also; is there a way to automate the relisting process or get alerts when inventory becomes stranded; so I can fix it before it affects my sales? :thinking: Checked Sell On Amazon - Amazon Seller Forum CISSP Training guide related to this and found it quite informative.

Would love to hear what has worked for other sellers! If there’s an official Amazon guide on stranded inventory management, please share.

Thank you !! :slightly_smiling_face:

Each stranded inventory gets stranded for a different reason. You can automate removals. But if what you want is getting the listings fixed, then you need to manually handle it.

Usually, stranded listings happen due to pricing errors, infringement complaints etc.
