Liquidation - keeps coming back every month?
Hello,
I liquidated some of my inventory couple months ago, I remember counting them exactly the right amount of units liquidated and the little portion of money came back to me. However I noticed every month I still get liquidation money back, I thought in the first month all units been liquidated, but now every month I am still receiving a small portion money of the liquidated units. I wonder how this liquidation works? Pays me like a monthly dividends?
Thanks,

Hey @Seller_1drsiTB5msDwV,
The FBA Liquidations help page gives some overview of the process but I'll highlight some here (emphasis mine):
Amazon determines the value of your inventory by evaluating several factors, including:
Your sales history
The average FBA selling price on Amazon
The sales history of the specific ASIN
Based on contracted rates, liquidators will purchase this inventory for a gross recovery value, which is about 5% to 10% of the product’s value. Amazon will then deduct fees and pay you the net recovery value.
The net recovery value should appear in your account within 90 days of submitting your order.
Given that, it looks like you might be seeing the incremental recoveries landing as they are realized in the 90 day window, but tag me here as needed!
