Advertising
Advertising sits here rather than in the Ads console because the number that matters is not ACOS, it is the spend that bought clicks on products nobody could buy. That figure only exists when campaign data and inventory data are in the same database, which is why the Ads console will never show it to you.

$198,614 of advertising spend bought clicks on 30 ASINs that were out of stock, suppressed, or losing the buy box while the money was going out. Annualised that is $298K. Amazon does not pause a campaign when a product becomes unbuyable, and it does not refund the clicks. Every row below is a join between the Ads API and the inventory and buy box feeds, which is the one report neither system produces on its own.

Wasted spend by causeJoined against availability
| Cause | ASINs | $ wasted |
|---|---|---|
Buy box lost A third party holds the box for part of the day. The ad sends traffic to their offer, not yours. | 14 | $109K |
Listing suppressed Fix the listing defect. A suppressed ASIN has no offer at all, so every click is a dead end. | 6 | $56K |
Out of stock Pause the ad group or ship inbound. Amazon will keep charging for clicks on an unbuyable ASIN indefinitely. | 10 | $34K |

Advertising arrives through the Amazon Ads API, which is a separate application from SP-API with its own client id, its own refresh token and its own profile id per marketplace. That is why it appears as its own feed on Integrations. The wasted-spend column is not an estimate: for an out-of-stock ASIN it is the spend multiplied by the share of the period the ASIN had no fulfillable units, and for a lost buy box it is the spend multiplied by the share of the period a third party held the box.
