The FBA Liquidations program can help you reduce costs on inventory that’s no longer working for your business. Instead of paying removal or disposal fees for unfulfillable or excess inventory, you can recover approximately 5–10% of your product’s average selling price through contracted liquidators. Recovery rates are estimates for the US market based on contracted liquidator rates and represent gross recovery percentages before applicable fees.
FBA Liquidations is available for both overstock and customer-returned inventory, including items graded as “Unsellable” and fulfillable items sitting idle. Inventory in Return Centers and Outbound Fulfillment Centers is also eligible. Hazardous items and counterfeit products are not eligible.
Here’s how it works:
- Once you choose liquidation as a removal option for your chosen inventory, we will arrange a contracted liquidator to purchase the inventory at a gross recovery value-typically 5–10% of the product’s average selling price.
- We will deduct applicable fees and pays you the net recovery value within approximately 60–90 days.
- Once you submit the order, monthly storage fees and aged-inventory surcharges stop accruing for that inventory.
The two fees that apply per item are:
- Processing fee: Based on item size and weight (e.g., $0.25–$0.40+ for standard-size; $0.60–$1.90+ for oversize/special handling).
- Referral fee: 15% of the gross recovery value.
To opt in, review your automated removal settings in Seller Central and select liquidations as your preferred removal method. You can update your preferences at any time.
