As of April 4, 2025, your inventory that’s been stored over 270 days (aged sellable inventory) or your inventory that’s been deemed unfulfillable will be removed from our fulfilment centres

Hello,

As of April 4, 2025, your inventory that’s been stored over 270 days (aged sellable inventory) or your inventory that’s been deemed unfulfillable will be removed from our fulfilment centres.

To avoid auto-removal, you’ll need to do the following before April 4:

For aged sellable inventory (270+ days):

Review your at-risk inventory in Fulfilment by Amazon inventory.

Go to Seller Central settings, then select Fulfilment by Amazon in the drop-down menu.

Go to Automated fulfillable settings.

Choose one of the following removal options:

Disable

Return (processing may take up to 90 days)

Dispose (liquidation is available as a value recovery option, for eligible inventory)

For unfulfillable inventory:

Go to Inventory, then select Fulfilment by Amazon inventory.

Select Unfulfillable inventory from the drop-down menu.

Create a removal order.

If no action is taken, we may automatically dispose, donate, liquidate or return your inventory. If you’ve created a return order for Fulfilment by Amazon inventory in last six months, we’ll attempt to return the inventory to the same address you provided. Removal orders can’t be cancelled once created.

So Amazon have now started returning some products that I do not wish to receive back - I am unable to opt out.

The Automated unfulfillable settings - DISABLE button is greyed out (even after clicking edit) in the top corner. Can anybody please help on how to disable this - driving me mental, keep getting products returned when I'm away and the Amazon Drivers basically just leave them on the roadside.
