Many Amazon sellers believe that Amazon automatically reimburses them whenever inventory is lost or damaged. While Amazon does issue some automatic reimbursements, but many eligible claims are never processed unless sellers find and submit them manually.

Amazon FBA handles millions of warehouse movements every day. During this process, discrepancies can happen, such as misplaced inventory, incorrect customer refunds, or fulfillment processing errors. Amazon’s system does not always notice every issue.

As a result, sellers may slowly lose revenue even without realizing it.

To avoid missing reimbursements, sellers need to regularly review inventory reports, track returns, and check for fee or refund discrepancies. However, doing this manually can take a lot of time, especially for sellers managing a growing business.

Because of this, many Amazon sellers now use reimbursement software that automatically scans their accounts and identifies missing refunds and reimbursement opportunities.
