You can find a list of returned FBA purchases in the FBA customer returns report. When a customer returns an item, we assess the condition (disposition) of the returned item and then process the return based on the condition.
For more information about FBA returns processing and policies, see Customer Returns for Orders Fulfilled by Amazon.
At our discretion, we may give a refund without requiring that the customer return the item. These refunds do not appear in the FBA customer returns report. You can find the refund amount that you are responsible for listed as a Product charge in the Refund section of the Payments report.
You can track reimbursements for eligible customer refunds, whether or not an item was returned, in the Reimbursements report.
If the disposition is Defective, Customer Damaged, or Damaged, consider submitting a removal order for those items or enabling the option to remove unsellable inventory automatically. For more information, see Remove inventory overview or Remove inventory automatically .
