Amazon FBA sellers know that keeping products in stock is crucial—not just for maintaining sales but also for avoiding unnecessary fees. One of these fees is the Low Inventory Level Fee, which Amazon applies when your stock remains too low for an extended period.
But the good news? sellerboard makes it easy to stay ahead and avoid this extra cost!
What is the Low Inventory Level Fee?
Amazon introduced this fee to encourage sellers to maintain healthy inventory levels. If your stock is too low compared to your sales velocity, you could be charged additional storage fees. This fee is especially relevant for fast-moving products, where low inventory signals potential fulfillment issues.
