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. 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.

Our product does not include button batteries
by Seller_4OjaYnPtpeQsQ
Amazon replied

Our product does not include button batteries. We have submitted actual photos of installing AA batteries, but the explanation and misjudgment have not been successful.

May I ask if you can refer to the image we provided to restore our page?

SFP Dashboard this morning has an announcement note at the top: "Enforcement is paused while we investigate carrier issues"

I'm pretty vocal about the issues with the SFP program, including but not limited to: holding Sellers accountable for carrier performance on a weekly level, inconsistent protections during major weather or other uncontrollable events, falsely including things as late deliveries for a wide variety of reasons, how dumb the speed metrics are overall but how extra dumb it is that we still don't have better reporting to help analyze the issues, etc.

With that said, I want to give Amazon credit for recognizing that (at least) FedEx is failing to hit their delivery commitments more or less nationally. There are several markets that are especially bad (anything in southern CA, anything around Savannah, GA, etc.), but when their entire network is operating in the mid-80%s, tough for Sellers to achieve 93.5%. So, bravo. For now. Let's just hope "pause" means we're not going to get punished in a few days after they complete some analytics.

800% Increase Storage fees Increase
by Seller_Ql1BNVqsrRcVY

For the past few months on average, I have paid $50 - 100 max on storage fees, and this month I paid $600 for the exact same inventory, maybe even less because I sold some of those units. I understand that due to the holiday season, the rates increase, but this is an 800% INCREASE. I opened over 5 cases and I keep getting the same robotic automated answer of "This is the standard rate" What does that even mean? In November I paid $70 and in December I paid $600. It can't be the size of my items since they have been charging me just fine for the past few months... Can an Amazon mod here please help me escalate this, this is just outrageous and I'm not getting any help. @Seller_s3amN64nZ4y9V@Seller_guPeMXBrBxqyU@Seller_RSwABJNHpHnEZ

So... after weeks of going around and around and around with Amazon... they finally added the brand name to the title.

Only... guess what? That's right. It didn't fix the problem. How many weeks will it take to fix this now?

Mind you, the listing was the same for years and years (over 10) and never a problem. I could be spending time building more business for my amazing Amazon customers. Instead I have to put a post here hopeful that someone who cares will see it!

Account deactivated since March 2024
by Seller_Q8yTlVF1WL4A6

My account has been deactivated since March 2024 ( apparently it has been used for "deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity" per them). I have tried multiple times to appeal, with no success. All I Am told is- We don't have enough information to remove the violation at this time. Am in the same loop- inventory cannot be removed because account is deactivated, Amazon won't reactivate my account and keeps charging me storage fee. At this point, I have given up all hope and am ready to just let Amazon keep/dispose my inventory and stop all storage charges. Does anybody know how long will Amazon keep charging me these storage fee? Is there a stated policy on this- how long will I be charged? I Really wish Amazon could be more helpful and tell us what they need exactly, and which piece of information they don't have or have doubts about. Thanks,

I received a one-star review on on November 12, 2024, for one of my products. The review reads:

"amazon sucks, product is good

item did not make it at promised time, great shocker for the new amazon"

I'm aware that as per the Amazon Community Guidelines, reviews focusing on shipping speed are not permitted. Therefore, I reported the review using the “Report” button and submitted a case (Case ID: 16679188841) and an email to the Community team for further review. Unfortunately, despite these efforts, the review has not been removed to date.

Could anyone kindly advise how to appeal for its removal effectively? I’ve come across discussions where the outcomes vary, so I’d greatly appreciate guidance on the most appropriate steps to take next.

Thank you in advance for your assistance and advice!
