Amazon FBA Refund Reconciliation Service | Recover Lost Value
(3P) Seller
Reclaim Your Revenue from Unaccounted Amazon FBA Refunds
When you see a customer refund on your Amazon statement, you assume your product is on its way back to your FBA inventory. But all too often, the financial transaction and the physical return don't match up. The customer gets their money back, and your product simply vanishes, leaving you to cover the loss.
Our Reimbursement Service for Unaccounted Refunds addresses this critical issue. We meticulously audit your refund reports to ensure that for every refund issued, you either get your product back or you get a full reimbursement from Amazon.

The Problem: When a Customer Refund Becomes Your Loss
Amazon's customer-centric refund policy is designed for speed. They often issue a refund from your funds instantly. The responsibility then falls on their systems to either manage the return of the product to your inventory or, if the customer fails to return it, to issue a reimbursement to you after a set period. When this crucial second step fails, the financial impact is significant.
This creates persistent issues for every FBA seller:
Direct Loss of Inventory and Revenue: You lose the revenue from the original sale (it was refunded) and you lose the product itself. It is a complete financial write-off of the asset.
A Complete Lack of Accountability: It is incredibly difficult for a seller to track what happens to a refunded product. Did the customer ever ship it? Did it get lost in transit or in an Amazon warehouse? This lack of a clear audit trail is where losses occur.
Overwhelmingly Complex Tracking: Manually reconciling thousands of lines of data across refund reports, inventory adjustments, and reimbursement statements is a highly detailed and time-consuming task that is simply not feasible for most growing businesses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How is this different from your "Unprocessed Returns" service?
They address the same core problem from two different angles to ensure complete coverage. This service focuses on the financial transaction the refund and meticulously reconciling it. The "Unprocessed Returns" service focuses on the physical item the return and tracking its journey. Both work together to recover your money when a product doesn't come back after a refund.
2. How long should I wait before assuming a refunded item is lost?
Amazon's official policy is to reimburse sellers if a customer has not returned an item within 45 days of the refund being processed. Our systems are built around monitoring this 45-day window and automatically flagging cases that are eligible for a reimbursement claim.
3. Does this service cover "Returnless Refunds"?
No. If you have authorised Amazon to issue a "returnless refund" for a product where the customer keeps the item and is still refunded it is not eligible for a reimbursement claim, as this is an intentional policy you have agreed to. Our service focuses on refunds where the product was supposed to be returned.
