Very Strange - UK FBA Inventory showing in EU FBA
Can anyone shed any light on this?
I’ve had an FBA order for a product from France today, which I haven’t had for months… I stopped Pan-EU late last year. In my FBA settings, storage in all EU countries is disabled. In the inventory ledger report, it confirms there are no products in EU FCs.
However when i go into the Manage Inventory or FBA inventory pages in the non UK, EU Countries, 20% of my products are available. with the inventory synced for my UK store? It is just like it was with PAN-EU, prior to Brexit.
Is anybody else seeing this? Is this a recent change? is this part of EFN?

yes what you are seeing then is EFN
stock in UK only and listings on all available EU sites
If a buyer orders from the listing in France, stock will be sent from UK to them
Amazon charge the buyer additional shipping - i believe its roughly 3.99
however, you need to adjust your pricing in BIL to ensure you are covering the VAT and duties that amazon remove as well as the EFN fees which are quite a bit more than standard FBA otherwise you’ll end up making a loss on all sales

sounds like build international listings have been enabled
I noticed a change a few weeks back on inventory page when adding a new offer, there’s now a button that says something like convert currency, if you press it, it adds your offers to all available sites
for EFN you would need to have inventory available in EU (listings - not stock) and the item could be a return back to an EU warehouse that has been resold
but are you enrolled in EFN ?

I am enrolled in EFN. I have listings, but no physical inventory for these products in the EU at all. the physical stock is only in the UK. 90% of the products that have active stock on the EU sites, have never been sold in Europe previously. There are about 10 SKUs/1500 units that are now active in the EU so not returns.
With EFN, does it show available stock (from the UK), on each countries manage Inventory page?

Thank you for clearing that up, I’ve never seen that before. Was having a panic attack, stressing i’d have to re-enroll for VAT.
TBH I must have had one sale in four months, so I’m going to turn EFN off.
Cheers
