FBA lost and damaged inventory reimbursement policy

When your inventory is lost or damaged while in the fulfillment center or by a partnered carrier during delivery to a customer, during the return to the fulfillment center (or your facility for FBA Onsite sellers), or during the return to you from the Fulfilment Center, we will reimburse you the estimated amount of the item based on several factors mentioned below.

Reimbursement

We consider several factors when determining the reimbursement amount, including:

• Your sales history
• The average FBA selling price on Amazon
• The sales history of the specific ASIN

If we do not have enough information to calculate the reimbursement amount for an item, we will assign a value to your inventory based on similar items.

If you request a re-evaluation of the reimbursement you receive, we may ask for additional information from you, such as a receipt or an invoice.

The reimbursement amount for any single item may not exceed R$19,250. For items valued at more than R$19,250, we recommend that you consider purchasing third-party insurance.

Reimbursement reversal

If we determine that any reimbursement was given in error, we may reverse the credit that was applied to your account.

Limitations

Our policies prohibit any activity that would interfere with our capacity to help other sellers. Examples of such activities include submitting insufficiently researched or premature requests, or submitting high volumes of requests in a short time.
