🔁 Amazon FBA Returns Management: What Sellers Must Know

Returns are a part of every e-commerce business, but if not handled smartly, they can lead to loss of profits, negative reviews, and account issues.

The good news? With Infobeam Solution, Amazon sellers can streamline FBA returns, reduce refund abuse, and turn returns into opportunities.

📦 How Amazon FBA Handles Returns

When a customer initiates a return:

  1. Amazon processes the return request and refunds the buyer.

  2. Returned item is shipped to Amazon’s warehouse.

  3. Amazon inspects the product:

    • If sellable → returned to your inventory.

    • If unsellable → marked as “customer damaged”, “defective”, or “carrier damaged”.

Amazon will reimburse you in some eligible cases (e.g. lost or damaged by Amazon).

❌ Common FBA Return Challenges Sellers Face

  • High return rates = poor profitability

  • Amazon accepting returns past policy period

  • Damaged returns marked “unsellable” but not reimbursed

  • Misuse of returns by customers

  • Lack of visibility on return trends

🛠️ Smart FBA Returns Management Tips

1. Monitor Return Reports Weekly

Use Amazon’s “Returns Report” and “FBA Customer Concessions” report to track reasons for return.

2. Check for Reimbursement Eligibility

For damaged, missing, or incorrect returns, file a reimbursement claim within 18 months.

3. Create Removal Orders for Unsellable Stock

Instead of paying long-term storage fees, request a return or disposal of damaged products.

4. Improve Listing Clarity

Returns often happen due to confusing descriptions or inaccurate images. Ensure your listings are clear and truthful.
