Struggling with inventory that just won’t sell? Our Dead Stock Impact Calculator helps you measure the financial impact of unsold products on your Amazon FBA business or other eCommerce platforms—so you can make better stocking, pricing, and clearance decisions.
What Is Dead Stock in eCommerce?
Dead stock refers to products that remain unsold for a long time, often tying up your cash flow and increasing storage costs. For Amazon sellers, this can mean higher FBA storage fees, potential long-term storage charges, and reduced profitability.
