How do I use the Inventory Aging report to find slow-moving items?

Written by Shane Jordan

To find slow-moving items, go to the Inventory Aging report from the Reports tab or Tools > Inventory Aging. It shows items sorted by how long they've been in your inventory.

What the Report Shows

inventory aging report

  • Items unlisted for 30+ days with the number of days since acquisition

  • Original cost at risk -- How much money is tied up in aging inventory

  • Recommendations for action on each item

How to Access It

  • From the Reports tab, look for the Inventory Aging section

  • Or tap the Death Pile counter on the Home dashboard

  • Or go to Tools > Inventory Aging

Taking Action

For each aging item, consider:

  • List it now -- Get it on a platform to start selling

  • Lower the price -- Reduce your expected sale price to move it

  • Try a different platform -- Some items sell better in different places

  • Bundle it -- Combine with similar items for a lot sale

  • Donate or discard -- Free up space and take a tax deduction

Good to Know

  • The longer an item sits, the more your money is locked up in unsold inventory

  • Check this report weekly to stay on top of aging items

  • Items leave the aging report once they're listed for sale
