Amazon FBA Storage Limits: Turning Constraints into Opportunities

The New Reality of FBA Storage Management

Amazon's consolidated storage policy has replaced previous quarterly storage limits and weekly restock limits with a single monthly capacity limit, creating new challenges for sellers across US and European markets (US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain).

Key Policy Changes:

Why Amazon Made These Changes

⒈ Warehouse Optimization

•  18% faster inventory turnover observed in pilot programs

•  23% reduction in stranded inventory

⒉ Revenue Diversification

•  Paid capacity auctions generated $380M in Q2 2024

⒊ Market Expansion

•  37% increase in new seller onboarding since policy change

4 Critical Challenges for Sellers

⚠️ Monthly IPI Pressure (Minimum 500 score required)
⚠️ Q4 Cost Surges for underperforming sellers
⚠️ Removal Delays causing refund bottlenecks
⚠️ Sales Disruptions from sudden capacity cuts
