You can have the best product on Amazon, with top-notch marketing and advertising, but if shoppers can't purchase your product because it's out of stock, it's all irrelevant. From supply chain challenges and inventory stockouts to shifting consumer behavior and steep competition, there's no shortage of factors that impact Amazon FBA sellers each year.
