Amazon Reimbursement Policy Overhaul

The policy change took effect on March 31, 2025, after Amazon moved it back from March 10 to give sellers time to set sourcing costs. All reimbursements filed after this date are calculated based on manufacturing cost rather than retail selling price.

Sellers report 50-75% lower recovery amounts. The average recovery dropped from $18.50 to $6.20 per unit for typical products.

You must submit manufacturing cost proof (invoices from suppliers) within 60 days of filing a claim. Update your Cost of Goods in Seller Central with accurate manufacturing costs.
