If you’re an Amazon seller with multiple storefronts, you likely know how tricky it can be to efficiently manage them all. And with the added administrative and time burdens of filing and tracking FBA reimbursement claims across all your accounts—especially if you operate in numerous, global marketplaces—you may be bleeding potential revenue.

This article will not only help you understand the unique challenges faced by multi-account sellers like you, but will delve into how you can achieve better efficiency and maximize reimbursement recovery at scale.

Hint: It all comes down to offloading your laborious administrative tasks to a centralized, trusted Amazon reimbursement service.

Key Insights

• Are you missing out on reimbursements?
  There are often-overlooked categories for 3P Amazon sellers to claim FBA reimbursements, including lost or damaged inventory, customer return errors, and FBA fee overcharges.
• Managing multiple accounts can add to the challenge
  Disparate case data, varying international policies, and the sheer volume of cases compound potential reimbursement loss.
• Streamlining and consolidating for maximum reimbursements
  A centralized Amazon reimbursement tool is often the best-practice solution.

How Might Your FBA Reimbursement Revenue Be Diminished?

In order to reverse the potential for revenue loss, it’s important first to recognize some often-overlooked categories for which you can claim FBA reimbursements.

The following table notes some of the most common ones, but because of the specific demands of each multi-account entrepreneur, it’s by no means exhaustive.

Clearly, there can be endless pressure points in the Amazon reimbursement management process. And these are only exacerbated by having multiple accounts.

How Managing Multiple Accounts Can Compound FBA Reimbursement Revenue Loss

Not only do Amazon sellers have to deal with potential reimbursement revenue loss via the common concerns described above, but when sellers manage multiple accounts, there can be challenges beyond what a single-storefront seller may face. 

These include:

• Disparate data: Each account yields its own dataset, with no link between them other than you, the seller. This means that any issues you may flag in one account (e.g., missed reimbursements, inventory anomalies, overcharging discrepancies) will not automatically be flagged in all your accounts, increasing the likelihood that something crucial—and ultimately, costly—may be overlooked in one or more of your storefronts.
• International policies: Depending on your customer base and international reach, you may find that the reimbursement policies of each country and/or territory you serve may have their own, unique requirements—which makes keeping track of all your opportunities for revenue recovery more complex.
• Case volume: Managing one Amazon account requires time, attention, and skill, but these qualities don’t always translate to a bundled discount. That is, regardless of the time that can be saved on efficient processing and lessons learned, the sheer volume of cases that must be addressed by multiple-account sellers can be overwhelming, and you may simply have no time to pursue all the reimbursement opportunities that are available to you and your businesses.

If only there was a way to streamline and consolidate management of all these concerns for maximum efficiency and reimbursement recovery at scale…

The good news: There is!

Centralized Amazon Reimbursement Service: Your Best-Practice Solution

Just as any corporation enjoys immense benefits from an integrated, top-down managerial overview of its costs, services, revenue, and revenue recovery, so, too, do Amazon sellers. In fact, a centralized Amazon reimbursement tool is often the best-practice solution for achieving efficiency and maximizing recovery at scale.

How Amazon Reimbursement Management Can Streamline Your Multi-Account Business

Having a management company, management software, or another management tool in place can be endlessly time- and cost-saving for an Amazon seller, especially one with multiple storefronts to attend to:

• A centralized system for Amazon reimbursement processes can consolidate all your disparate data, so that issues flagged in one account can be more easily flagged across your entire business.
• Reimbursement management tools help ensure global scalability, so you won’t be bound by endless red tape when seeking to conduct your businesses and ensure maximum reimbursement recovery when dealing with international policies to which your global accounts must adhere.
• Regardless of the volume of reimbursement cases you may be facing across all your accounts, time-management will no longer be an impediment to maximum revenue recovery.

The overall result of dedicated, expert management will be a more streamlined business, with more up-to-date and accurate financial records, more revenue-recovery opportunities pursued, better global scalability, and more time for you to build profits versus chase potential losses.
