Product tips for someone trying to build a sales history on a fresh account?
I’m looking for recommendations or tips for a starter product that *does not need to be profitable for me* but only serves to build a sales history. I appreciate any input the community can offer.

Amazon deal price selection
Does Amazon US still count the lowest price offered in 30 days when signing up for a best or lightening deal or this period extended to 60 days?

This literally just feels like a scam
So I have not been able to access my fba account for a year or two for some reason and I have had about 500$ or so tied up in it. Yesterday I get a charge on my card from Amazon for 41$ and find that I can finally access my seller account again, so I contact support to find out where that 500$ went and why it wasn’t transferred to me, come to find out that they had locked my account for some reason (that they refused to tell me) and took all the money away due to monthly fees. They essentially just told me that all my money was taken away due to monthly fees and there was nothing that I could say or do about it because my account was “locked”.

Is it just me or does Amazon seller support not know how to fix any of the issues they just guess?
I’ve been running into listing errors ever since I started selling on Amazon, every time I have an issue with my listing that needs to be fixed by the internal team every support agent gives me a different answer, and then most of the time their answer actually makes it worse.
Do I just need to learn how to navigate the website and fix my issues all by myself it seems like the support team always makes all of the errors worse and adds more errors onto them. The support team also repeats themselves and doesn’t read my messages all the way through.

Go Aura Repricer full of bugs.
If you are using GoAura repricer, monitor your prices regularly. This repricer is super buggy. It keeps changing my set minimum price without any notifications. Yesterday, I was going through my sales and realized the repricer had reset my set minimum price to 0. This cost me thousands of dollars in profits over last 2 months. When I reached out to their customer care aka chat bot, they outright denied the issue. I won’t be using this dumb repricer ever again.

Amazon IPI Score 2025: Avoid FBA Storage Fees and Restock Limits
If you’re an FBA seller, your Inventory Performance Index (IPI) score is more important than ever in 2025. With Amazon tightening inventory restrictions and raising fees, ignoring your IPI score can lead to costly consequences like storage limits, higher fees, and blocked shipments—every seller’s nightmare.
So how does the IPI score work in 2025? What’s considered a good score? And how can you improve it to avoid penalties?
Let’s break it down.
What Is Amazon’s IPI Score & Why Does It Matter?
Your IPI score is a number between 0 and 1,000 that Amazon assigns to your seller account to measure how efficiently you manage FBA inventory.
If your score drops too low, Amazon will:
- Limit your FBA storage space.
- Charge higher storage fees—especially for overstocked or aged inventory.
- Restrict new inventory shipments, increasing the risk of stockouts and lost sales.
The minimum IPI threshold in 2025 is 400.
Falling below this number puts your account at risk of penalties.
Bottom Line: A higher IPI score means more available storage, lower fees, and fewer restrictions.
How is the IPI Score Calculated in 2025?
While Amazon doesn’t publish its exact formula, your score is based on four key metrics:
- Excess Inventory Percentage – How many of your items are overstocked or not moving?
- Sell-Through Rate – Are you consistently selling your inventory?
- Stranded Inventory Percentage – Do you have inventory stuck at fulfillment centers due to listing errors?
- In-Stock Rate – Are your popular, high-demand products consistently available?
Amazon updates your IPI score weekly, so consistent improvement can lead to fast gains.
What’s New for IPI in 2025?
Several changes have made IPI management more critical this year:
- Stricter storage limits – Even sellers with an IPI score above 400 may face limitations if their sell-through rate is low.
- Higher fees for aged inventory – Long-term storage of slow-moving products will cost more than ever.
- More aggressive restock restrictions – Amazon may limit inbound shipments based on demand forecasts, even if your IPI is solid.
Translation: Amazon wants sellers to stay lean, move inventory quickly, and avoid dead stock.
How to Improve Your IPI Score & Avoid Storage Fees
If your IPI score is below 400 (or close to it), take these steps to boost it ASAP:
1. Fix Stranded Inventory
Stranded inventory hurts your score and your bottom line.
- Go to Seller Central → Inventory → Fix Stranded Inventory to resolve any listing issues and get products selling again. You can also go directly to the Stranded Inventory page in Amazon Seller Central to take immediate action.
2. Increase Your Sell-Through Rate
Amazon rewards sellers who move inventory efficiently. To boost this metric:
- Run promotions or time-limited discounts to clear stale inventory.
- Use Amazon PPC to drive targeted traffic to underperforming listings.
- Consider Multi-Channel Fulfillment (MCF) to move inventory through platforms like eBay, Walmart, or Shopify.
3. Reduce Excess Inventory
Overstocked SKUs can drag down your score and trigger costly long-term storage fees.
- Use “Manage Inventory Health” in Seller Central to identify slow-moving items.
- Enroll eligible products in Amazon’s Outlet Program to move inventory via deals.
- Remove or liquidate aged inventory that isn’t selling.
Use tools like Seller Labs SKU Economics to quickly spot low-velocity SKUs and make data-backed decisions.
4. Keep Best-Sellers in Stock
Amazon favors sellers who consistently keep popular items available.
- Monitor restock reports to ensure you don’t run out of top-selling SKUs.
- Base reorders on actual demand data, not just FBA storage limits.
- Avoid stockouts—they can lower your IPI fast.
Seller Labs Restock app can help forecast inventory needs based on actual demand trends, helping you avoid stockouts and stay IPI-compliant.
Final Thoughts: Mastering Your IPI in 2025
IPI management isn’t just about avoiding fees—it’s a strategic advantage. Sellers who maintain high IPI scores enjoy more storage flexibility, lower operating costs, and improved sales velocity.
Here’s where you stand:
- IPI Score 500+ – You’re in the safe zone, but stay proactive.
- IPI Score 400–500 – Keep optimizing to prevent potential penalties.
- IPI Score below 400 – Act now to avoid severe restrictions and rising fees.
By tracking your IPI weekly and taking swift action on stranded, excess, or slow-moving inventory, you can stay competitive and profitable on Amazon in 2025.
Stay ahead of Amazon’s inventory rules with tools like the Restock app and SKU Economics from Seller Labs—built to help you forecast demand, avoid stockouts, and reduce excess inventory before it hurts your IPI score.
Take control of your inventory performance—start optimizing today.
