In this episode of Ecommosaurus, we share an insightful refresher of Episode 66 on Amazon's inventory and fulfillment fee changes announced in December 2024:

• March 1: Inbound Placement Service Fee
• April 1:Low Inventory Penalty Fee
• April 1: reduced non-peak monthly storage fees
• April 15: Reduced FBA fulfillment fees
• June 1: Returns Processing Fee for high return rate products

Starting with AI's most recent snafu (hiccups in portraying diversity in historically inaccurate ways), we then dive into Amazon's motivations and strategies for their fee changes soon to go into action. From incentivizing inventory distribution to penalizing low-stock sellers, discover actionable insights on navigating these changes. Tune in to stay ahead of the curve in the dynamic world of Amazon ecommerce!

And, as teased in the episode, here's a quick tip on using Amazon Seller Central to check out ASINs that may be at risk of the Low Inventory Penalty Fee:

1. Inventory > Fulfillment by Amazon: Dashboard
2. On the Inventory Performance Index chart, go to Top Influencing Factors: Excess Inventory and click Reduce
3. Sort the Historical Days of Supply (Parent ASIN) column so that the lowest days of supply items are at the top.
4. See what is under 28 days.
5. Send in inventory.
