Note: This article was updated on December 19, 2024, to include a clarified definition of "manufacturing cost."

We’re updating our Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) inventory reimbursement policy to help provide you greater transparency and more predictability in how reimbursements are calculated for items that are lost or damaged before a customer order. This will help drive a more consistent approach that works as we support sellers with supply chain services across their sales channels.

Effective March 10, 2025, we’ll reimburse you based on the product manufacturing cost of the affected inventory. "Manufacturing cost" means your cost to source a product from a manufacturer, wholesaler, reseller, or produce the item if you are the manufacturer. It excludes costs such as shipping, handling, customs duties, or other costs.

To help provide you greater control and accuracy, you can choose how we determine the manufacturing cost for your products:

  • We’ll provide a manufacturing cost estimate for you. This estimate is based on a comprehensive evaluation of comparable products sold by Amazon, by other sellers, and through wholesale channels.
  • You can provide your manufacturing costs directly. If you don’t provide your own costs, we’ll automatically apply our estimate which you can change when you’re ready.

To help you prepare, you can view and manage manufacturing costs in the Inventory Defect and Reimbursement portal starting in late January using a new Manage Your Manufacturing Cost page.

We’re constantly refining our operations and processes to prevent products from being lost or damaged and having to be reimbursed. For cases where reimbursement is necessary, we’re focused on ensuring timely compensation. We now offer automatic reimbursements for items lost in our fulfillment centers, saving you time, and eliminating the need for you to submit a claim to receive reimbursement.

For items that are lost or damaged after a customer order in Amazon’s store, we’ll continue to reimburse you for the sales price on the original order minus applicable fees.

For more information on the policy change, please visit the Changes to program policies.

Request for Review and Support Regarding Account Issue
by Seller_pE0IHdimoLHXf

Dear Amazon Support Team,

First of all, I would like to request your follow-up and assistance regarding a matter I am about to explain.

About 2 hours ago, I received the following email:

"We have taken this action because we believe that your account or other associated accounts you operate may have been used for fraudulent, deceptive, or illegal activities."

I completely understand why you may have taken this action, and I want to emphasize that I have never engaged in any fraudulent activity, nor have I ever attempted to deceive anyone, the system, or my own character. Please allow me to clarify the situation.

The individual involved is Batakan D., a person I confirmed during the video conference. He lives in Austria, and a few years ago, when I was new to Amazon, I made the mistake of opening his Amazon account on a computer in my office, which was not my personal work computer. This was done purely out of friendly intentions, and I only uploaded products to his account. After that, we parted ways, and I have had no further involvement with his account. If you check the IP login dates, you will see that there has been no activity from my side in a long time. This was a one-time, unintentional mistake.

I now realize that this is in violation of Amazon’s policies, and I fully accept responsibility for this. If you review my account, you will see that I have consistently complied with your policies, responded to your emails promptly (usually within 1 to 5 hours), and maintained a strong communication effort with you and my customers. I have always been dedicated to my work, and I have never intentionally burdened any system or individual.

As an Amazon seller, I kindly ask you to review my account, and if you find my explanation and the supporting documents satisfactory, I would appreciate it if you could reactivate my account or forward this situation to the relevant team for further review.

I have provided all necessary documentation, including company-related documents, invoices for the products I supply, an authorization letter from my company, identification documents, bank account details, and proof of residence. These documents were submitted via video conference, to the requested email address, and through the progress screens in my seller account.

From now on, I will be even more diligent about complying with Amazon's system and policies, and I will follow these steps to log into an account.

Logging into an account as an authorized representative.

Contacting Amazon for authorization and providing the necessary documents and information and obtaining approval before taking any login action.

PS: I have submitted all the documents, but if you want any information and documents from me, I am always here and waiting for your help.

I really appreciate your understanding and support.

Sincerely yours,

@Seller_l3eCP9f1PtJXC

Dear Amazon Seller Support,

I am writing to express my concern regarding the recent Canada Post strike, which lasted for approximately one month and has caused significant delivery delays. I am sure Amazon is aware of the widespread disruption this strike has caused to mail and parcel delivery across Canada.

While these delays are completely outside of sellers' control, some customers are understandably frustrated and have resorted to filing A-to-z Guarantee claims and leaving negative feedback. I believe this situation is extremely unfair to sellers who have fulfilled their orders promptly and are now being penalized for circumstances beyond their influence.

I therefore respectfully request that Amazon implement a moratorium on A-to-z Guarantee claims and negative feedback specifically related to delivery delays directly attributable to the Canada Post strike. This moratorium should apply to orders shipped during the period affected by the strike.

This would provide much-needed protection for sellers who are already facing challenges due to the shipping disruptions. It would also demonstrate Amazon's understanding of the exceptional circumstances and its commitment to supporting its selling partners.

To facilitate this process, I suggest Amazon could:

  • Implement a system to identify affected orders: This could be based on shipping dates and destination addresses within Canada.
  • Communicate clearly with customers: Inform them about the ongoing delays due to the strike and encourage them to contact sellers directly with any concerns before filing a claim or leaving negative feedback.
  • Provide clear guidelines for sellers: Outline the process for appealing A-to-z claims and negative feedback related to the strike.

I believe that implementing a moratorium is a fair and reasonable solution that would protect sellers from undue penalties during this challenging time. I urge Amazon to consider this request seriously.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Olga Dunaeva

Well, this was a first for me. One of my buyers received their order and then immediately called me on my cell rather than using the Amazon message system. This was the same day, only a few hours after the package was delivered to their address. But they didn't call about the order, they apparently just wanted to chat with me. I didn't pick up the call, because I did not recognize the number. Based on the buyer's identity (I of course googled them; they have a religious title) and the content of the voicemail they left for me, I think they are interested in proselytizing me. I did not call them back, and am not sure how to handle this. Sellers, Amazon people --- what should I do here? Ignore them, write them a message? If I ignore them and they leave me a negative review because of that, do I have any recourse?

Good afternoon. I recently registered, and I believe I’m doing everything correctly according to the instructions. However, in the "See All Buying Options" section, there’s always a message:

"This item cannot be shipped to your selected delivery location. Please choose a different delivery location."

What do I need to do to get a regular "Add to Cart" option like everyone else?

Payment Balance Slowly Dropping??
by Seller_XmgJPERDY5voR

For the past few days I have been watching my payment balance slowly drip away throughout the day. I keep checking the charges to the balance and notice no differences in the refunds/expenses/reserves or anything of the sorts but yet somehow money seemingly just keeps leaking out of my account? During days I have seen grand totals of about $750-$1,000 just slowly disappearing throughout the day. What is going on???

Hi,

its so frustrating that a customer brought a item and filed a A-Z even when it shipped and a proof delivered tracking #

Amazon still debited from my account but says its doesn't count in my record .

i don't understand, if its my fault, it should be a A-Z count in record and debited from my account

but its NOT! caze its delivered 2 days with a TRACKING NUMBER!

if AMAZON THINK its no problem and wants to do a courtesy refund why its debited from my account instead of Amazon

its just ridiculous and unfair to seller! buyers can do scam like that everyday for just make a easy phone call while AMAZON SELLER lost all the merchandise and shipping money!!!
