Short description

In the Reimbursements section of ProfitTracker you see every Amazon reimbursement — e.g. for lost or damaged warehouse stock, miscalculated FBA fees or customer returns. At a glance you can tell which reimbursements were profitable and on which ones you lost money.

Step-by-step: Track lost goods

Step 1: Set filter

Search via the DataTable field for Lost or an ASIN.

Step 2: Check the discrepancy

If the Discrepancy column is red, Amazon reimbursed less than your CoG. Click Dispute / Request top-up (link on the entry) and follow through to the Amazon form.

Step 3: Store the case number

Click the pencil icon next to Case number and enter Amazon’s case number. That way you can find the case later.

Step 4: Add a comment

In the Comments field record what you wrote to Amazon or what deadline you set yourself.

Important notes

  • A reimbursement can contain Cash (payout) and Inventory (goods back to the warehouse) at the same time.
  • A loss often arises when Amazon applies the default reimbursement amount instead of your actual CoG. In that case it’s worth filing a dispute with a purchase invoice.
  • Before filing a request, it’s worth checking Amazon Inventory Reimbursement → Cost Management. There you see per FNSKU which CoGs Amazon has already accepted — so you know in advance which value to bring into the dispute.

Common issues

Issue: “A reimbursement is shown as a loss even though I was profitable.” Solution: Check your stored CoG in ProfitTracker — if the cost is missing, the system calculates with 0 or a default value. Issue: “An order doesn’t show up here.” Solution: Reimbursements are delivered by Amazon with some delay. Wait a few hours or check in Seller Central → Reports → Reimbursements.
