Important changes planned for restock limits, IPI threshold
As we near the end of 2021, we’d like to thank you for all of the hard work you’ve done to make this year a success and share some positive updates about FBA restock and storage limits.
In the midst of a global pandemic, supply chain challenges, labor shortages, and inflation, you have persevered. Thank you for your determination through these tough times and your commitment to your customers, employees, and local communities.
Sellers like you—most of whom are small and medium-sized businesses—accounted for over half of the sales from Black Friday through Cyber Monday. To further enable your success, we’ve been working to increase our hiring and expand our fulfillment network. These investments allowed for an overall increase in the amount of product you could send in during the holiday season.
In recent weeks, we’ve been able to further increase the restock limits for many sellers and intend to do the same for many more sellers early next year. We’re also excited to share that effective January 1, 2022, we’ll reduce the Inventory Performance Index (IPI) threshold for FBA storage limits to 400. With this IPI change, less than 10% of sellers will have storage volume limits.
As we continue to launch new solutions to help your business, we’re excited for you to try some new and improved tools that can help you add new selection to FBA or maintain sufficient inventory levels:
- For help on accelerating new product sales, see the FBA New Selection program‘s expanded benefits on storage and advertising costs.
- To maximize selection that is eligible for 1-day delivery, see your Restock Inventory recommendations.
- For personalized recommendations on how to recover value from your aging and excess inventory, go to Manage Inventory Health.
We are optimistic about what 2022 will bring and look forward to everything we’ll accomplish together. From all of us at Amazon, we hope you and your families have a happy and healthy holiday season filled with moments to relax and recharge. We look forward to an even more successful year in 2022.

This is really good news because we got squeezed (like everyone else) during the holiday rush! We had a hard time keeping things in stock with proper inventory and we have an IPI of over 700!

i was hoping to see a shift in policy on the weekly changes for restock limits. looks like this will painfully continue

So our limits increased dramatically - right at the end of the Christmas shopping season (when we don’t need it anymore). Thanks Amazon - your timing is just perfect.

What cave are these people in?
or is the “holiday season” that is being referenced St. Patricks Day?

Great. Amazon continues to lower the bar.
While at it, change the requirement of a piped utility bill and a credit card. Make it even easier for new sellers to onboard more garbage. At this point, eliminate all standards.

My inventory limit has gone up 50% in the last 10 days.
Seller_JSkKTxOgzk1ON
Sounds like they know the messed up and holiday sales suffered from lack of inventory from sellers.
Seller_3NvT4P2ouRoEb
Right…increased the restock limits when its too late to take advantage of them for christmas. I’ve already switched a lot of my business to MF’ing orders because of the restock limits.

Fix what you have done with the Buy Box.
We are a $1M toy seller and get zero sales against numerous other toy sellers. They can also keep the Buy Box at a higher price.
You have done enormous amounts of damage to our businesses over the last 2 years.
A large part of it is not your fault.

Is this just for Q1 or permanently? And how long is permanently?
