If I had 45 units that were randomly placed into my Amazon inventory that I did not pay for, How do I report that? Do I report the value at what it sold at?

[imaginefreedom]

these units were freely placed into my inventory and sold under my account. How should I report this?

45 units of what exactly?

[imaginefreedom]

tupperware package. I bought 36 units myself at around a $9.80/piece. The other 45 units were someone else's I guess.

Then you need to contact Amazon to have them fix this.

If you acquired some  products (goods) at no cost; then you carry the inventory value as zero.  When you sell the unit, your cost of goods sold (COGS) is $0 and your gross profit is the whole sale amount.

[imaginefreedom]

So as an example, say if the whole sale value was 9.99 and the price point for the customer was $14.99.  $5.00 would be the gross profit, then in total $5.00 for 45 units would be $225.00, Correct??? and report that $225?

Wait thats not right

[Hal_Al]

The wholesale value is irrelevant. What matters is your actual cost, what you paid. in this case you paid 0. Your gross profit for 45 units is: ($14.99 - 0) x 45 = $675.

But  most  people do it this way: you bought 36 units at $9.80 and 45 at $0.  Your inventory cost is  36 x 9.80 = $352.80. $352.80 / (45 +36) = $4.36 per unit.

"The other 45 units were someone else's I guess."
I interpreted this to mean that Amazon made a mistake, as these never should never have been in OP's account, and OP needs to know how to correct it.
