Esterine,

If you have Stranded Inventory in your Amazon Seller Central account, it means your products are in an FBA warehouse but are not actively listed for sale due to an issue. Resolving this quickly is important so you can get your items selling again.

Step-by-Step Process to Fix Stranded Inventory:

1️⃣ Log in to Amazon Seller Central

• Go to Inventory > Manage Inventory

• Click on the “Fix Stranded Inventory” tab

2️⃣ Identify the Issue

• Amazon will display an error message next to each stranded item. Common reasons include:

• Listing Closed → You need to reactivate the listing

• ASIN Suppressed → Fix any listing violations

• SKU Deleted → You may need to relist the product

• Pricing Errors → Adjust pricing to comply with Amazon’s policies

3️⃣ Take Action Based on the Error Type

• Click “Edit” next to the stranded product and follow Amazon’s suggested fix.

• If it’s closed or inactive, select “Relist” to get it back live.

• If there’s a policy or suppression issue, click on “Edit Listing” and make the required updates.

4️⃣ Remove Inventory if Necessary

• If the listing cannot be reinstated, you have two options:

• Create a Removal Order to get your inventory back.

• Liquidate the inventory through Amazon’s FBA liquidation program.

5️⃣ Prevent Future Stranded Inventory

• Regularly check your Inventory Dashboard to monitor potential issues.

• Set up alerts to notify you when inventory gets stranded so you can fix it quickly.
