Your bet's as good as lost. You're toast...

The earlier you get through the denial/anger/negotiation/resignation stages on this one, the more comfortable you'll be in your old age.

Here are the specifics on your negative inventory carry (from memory).

Amazon: Delivery into inventory, day 1. Sale, day 14 (average). Payment recieved, day 16. Amazon pays vendor, day 58.

Chain stores: Delivery into inventory, day 1. Sale, day 190 (average). Payment recieved, day 192. Chain pays vendor, day 81.
