Amazon FBA guide

Does Amazon owe you money?

Probably. Amazon runs huge warehouses, and they lose, damage, and miscount inventory all the time. When they do, they owe you money, but they do not pay it back unless you ask. Here is how to find out, and how we got one brand back over $9,000.

Why Amazon owes sellers money

Inventory gets lost in the warehouse. Units get damaged. Returns never make it back to your stock. Fees get miscalculated. Each one is money that should be yours.

What to check

  • Go to Reports, then Fulfillment, then Inventory Adjustments.
  • Pull the last 90 days.
  • Look for lost (code M), damaged (D), and expired (E) units.
  • Compare what Amazon received to what you sent.

The clock is running

You have 18 months from the date of each issue to file a claim. After that, the money is gone for good. Most sellers never file, so they leave thousands on the table.
