Free Amazon FBA Reimbursement Audit Workbench

100% Offline Client-Side Sandbox · 0% Commission Alternative to GETIDA · Compliant with Amazon 60-Day Rule & 2026 Agent Policy

Why Sellers Lose 1% to 3% of FBA Revenue to System Leakage

Industry data confirms that 1% to 3% of Amazon FBA annual gross merchandise volume (GMV) is lost to fulfillment center discrepancies: misplaced items (Reason Code M), warehouse damages (Reason Code E), customer returns refunded but never returned to stock after 45 days, and carrier transfer losses.

While Amazon Seller Central provides raw reports, Amazon does not automatically calculate discrepancies for you. Under Amazon's October 23, 2024 policy reform, the statutory claim window was reduced from 18 months to strictly 60 days. If discrepancies are not identified and claimed within 60 days, Amazon permanently forfeits your funds.

How It Works: 4-Report Local Cross-Reconciliation

  1. Inventory Ledger (Detailed View): Identifies baseline physical events including FC damages (Code E) and bin misplacements (Code M).
  2. Reimbursements Report: Offsets records already automatically credited by Amazon to prevent duplicate claims.
  3. Customer Returns: Cross-checks 45-day return windows for items refunded to customers that never arrived at Amazon FCs.
  4. Inbound Shipments: Compares shipped box counts against FC received quantities for shortage auditing.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the Amazon FBA 60-day reimbursement deadline?

Under Amazon's updated FBA inventory reimbursement policy, warehouse lost and damaged claims must be submitted within 60 days of the recorded event. Customer return claims must be filed between 60 and 120 days post-refund. Unsubmitted claims past 60 days are permanently barred.

Q: Why does Amazon penalize automated bots under the 2026 Agent Policy?

In March 2026, Amazon updated its Business Solutions Agreement (BSA) with strict rules regarding automated AI agents and bots accessing Seller Central. Automated claim spammers trigger 'Misuse of Support Services' flags. This workbench processes data in local memory and produces verified case text for human submission, remaining 100% compliant.

Q: What is the 2025/2026 Sourcing Cost Policy?

Effective March 31, 2025, Amazon reimburses pre-order lost stock based on manufacturing/sourcing cost rather than retail value. Sellers must declare unit costs in the IDR portal to avoid Amazon's default low valuations.
