Returns, refunds, cancellations, and claims

Returns

To process a return request, go to Manage Seller Fulfilled Returns page, where you can review, authorize, or decline requests. You can also access Manage Returns page by clicking the Orders drop-down menu in Seller Central.

When you receive a return shipment at your facility, the shipment will include a packing slip and Return Mailing Authorization (RMA) number to help you identify the return.

To avoid a negative customer experience, actively monitor the refund to ensure that it is issued to the buyer in a timely manner.

We recommend that you respond to return requests within 24 hours. For additional information regarding how to manage your returns, refer to Manage seller-fulfilled returns.

If you have an order that is returned damaged and you believe the damage was related to the carrier, please utilize the Optional coverage for loss or damage process to file a claim.

Refunds

You need to process a return when you have received a return request from a buyer, a returned shipment, or have arranged to refund a purchase.

You can issue refunds in full or in part via the Manage Orders tool. Refer to Issue a Refund and Refund Options page for more information.

Cancellations

If a buyer asks you to cancel an order and you have not yet shipped and confirmed the shipment, you can cancel it in Manage Orders or use an Order Cancellation feed.

Refer to Order cancellations and Cancel Multiple Orders with the Order Cancellation Template for additional information.

If you have already confirmed an order as shipped, you can authorize the return request in Manage Seller Fulfilled Returns.
