Amazon loses and damages inventory. Not often, as a percentage, but across millions of units it adds up, and some of it is yours. Amazon pays back much of it automatically. The rest you have to find and claim yourself, and since late 2024 you have far less time to do it.

This guide covers how reimbursements work now, what Amazon catches on its own, what it doesn't, and a twice-a-month routine that keeps you from leaving money behind.

Stranded inventory is stock that's sitting in an Amazon fulfillment center with no active listing to sell it through. The units are there, you're paying to store them, and nobody can buy them.

It's one of the easiest problems to miss. Amazon doesn't send an urgent email for most stranded units, and the inventory still shows up in your counts. Sellers often find out weeks later, when a bestseller has stopped selling, or when the storage bill arrives.

Q4 is the make-or-break season for most FBA sellers. Without a written inventory process, you risk more than lost sales. You invite stockouts, aged-inventory fees, and overstock that ties up cash well into the new year.
