Are you tracking your Amazon inventory costs incorrectly? It might be costing you thousands.

Most sellers believe they’re profitable, but in reality, many are using outdated accounting methods that misreport profits. In this video, I break down the three key cost-tracking methods (Constant, Weighted Average, FIFO) and walk you through exactly how to implement FIFO inside Sellerboard for accurate profit analysis.



Whether you’re doing arbitrage, wholesale, or private label, this tutorial will help you:

• Avoid profit-killing errors

• Understand your real margins

• Make smarter inventory and ad decisions

• Scale confidently with financial clarity
