5. PROCEDURAL STEPS

5.1. Once you contracted our services, we assign a case manager to your account who manually submits a small number of cases to Seller Support for you, every day. The number of cases submitted is in accordance with Amazon’s Reimbursement Policy.

5.2. You will need to create a limited-access user account on Amazon Seller Central for your case manager. This will give your case manager access to only the necessary functions like reporting and support case management.

5.3. Your case manager double checks whether a claim is valid before they submit it to Seller Support, and keeps you updated on the progress of that case through your reimbursement audit dashboard. In accordance with Amazon’s Terms of Service, we do not automate any claim submissions. Your case manager reviews each potential claim and manually submits quality claims with accurate data.

5.4. Your case manager will handle all follow-ups related to the claims submitted on your behalf, and occasionally reaches out to you if there are any particular cases that may need documentation from you.

5.5. When Amazon’s reimbursement seems too low, your case manager already follows up with Amazon to make sure you get reimbursed fairly for your item. Alternatively, if a case has been resolved and the reimbursement seems too small, please feel free to raise any questions you have about a particular case by sending a note to your case manager, or [email protected]. We’ll look into it for you as soon as possible.

6. PERMISSIONS

6.1. You need to grant to your case manager the following permissions:

a) Manage FBA Inventory/Shipments (required for fulfilment reports, and reconciling shipments);

b) Fulfilment Reports (for following up with Seller Support with direct links);

c) Payments Reports (to confirm that reimbursements were paid out to you);

d) Manage Your Cases (for creating and replying to support cases).

7. PRICE

7.1. We charge 25% commission for all successful reimbursements, including inventory reimbursements. To value a unit of inventory, we use the amount per unit value Amazon assigns. Based on our experience, Amazon’s per unit reimbursement values tend to be similar to the net revenue you’d make if that unit sold, or sometimes even less when Amazon uses default values. However, if Amazon gets it wrong, feel free to ask your case manager about any particular reimbursement, or email us at [email protected] . We’ll look into it for you as soon as possible.

7.2. While rare, in case Amazon applies different per unit amounts to inventory reimbursements in the same support case, we’ll make sure that we calculate our charge to you using the lowest inventory reimbursement value present.

8. PAYMENT METHOD

8.1. We accept all major debit and credit cards. Your payment information is encrypted via our integration with Stripe.

8.2. Every first Monday of a fiscal month, we’ll send you an invoice of all the reimbursements we successfully recovered for you in the past month. You’ll have the week to review, and we’ll charge the payment method stored on your account every Friday.

9. LATE PAYMENT

9.1. In case you don’t respect the payment term as stated above, we will notify you in writing about the delay and we will give you a term of 5 calendar days to make the payment.

b) In the event you don’t comply with our request within the 5 calendar days term, we retain the right to take legal action to recover the amount owed to us together with a 0,5% penalty for every calendar day of delay.
