Frequently Asked Questions
Reimbursements
Most sellers can expect 1-3% of their annual revenue reimbursed. Sometimes Amazon are better at refunding reimbursements automatically and there is less to recover, rest assured whatever they have missed RefundPros will recover it for you! We also correct fee's and recover a significant amount of "found" items that are then returned to your sellable inventory, with no extra charge!
Our audit software and algorithms identify candidates for reimbursement. Our claim professionals then review these potential claims and submit them in line with Amazon's Terms of Service. The claims we submit are well researched and we always follow up if Amazon has questions or require additional information. If Amazon requires supporting documentation, we will reach out to you. Apart from that, it's all set and forget!
A retrospective audit (past 18 months) is started within one business day of your registration. Businesses typically see their first reimbursements within 48 hours.
We track all cases we submit and only charge commission on successful reimbursements we have claimed. We do not charge commission on found items, reimbursements that Amazon pay automatically or claims that you make yourself.
We analyze your seller account data and claim reimbursements for a wide range of discrepancies and mistakes. These fall into 5 main categories:
- Inbound shipments (receiving discrepancies, carrier lost and damaged)
- Warehouse (lost, damaged and destroyed)
- Customer Returns (missing, incorrectly charged, etc.)
- Fees
- Removals
Our teams of developers and Amazon claims experts constantly monitor Amazon's reimbursement policies and data to identify new reimbursement opportunities, this ensures you receive every reimbursement and cost saving possible.
Unlike some service providers that only audit a few times a year or draw-out the claims submission, at RefundPros your seller account is audited regularly on an ongoing basis and claims are submitted promptly. The frequency depends on the type of reimbursement; we aim to find and submit claims as soon as they become eligible.
We currently support US, Mexican, Canadian and Australian Marketplaces. We are extending coverage to other Marketplaces, so please reach out if this applies to you.
