Amazon probably owes you money without you knowing it. FBA reimbursements compensate for logistics errors — provided you spot them.
What Amazon reimburses
- Lost inventory in the fulfillment center
- Inventory damaged by Amazon or the carrier
- Customer returns refunded but never returned to stock
- Fee errors (weight/dimensions billed incorrectly)
- Receiving discrepancies (units received < units sent)
Why sellers miss them
These events are buried in the reports. Without systematic tracking, tens of euros a month simply evaporate.
The method
- Compare units sent / received
- Track refunded returns vs returns put back into stock
- Check the billed dimensions
- Open a case before the claim window closes (often time-limited)
Automating detection
Combing through reports by hand is time-consuming. Profit+ flags potentially reimbursable discrepancies so you stop leaving money on the table.
