Root Cause Analysis

The usual causes are commingled FBA inventory, poor packaging that lets units arrive scuffed, open-box returns being restocked as sellable, or a supplier shipping shelf-worn stock. Amazon does not care which one it is until you name it and prove it is closed.

Required Documents

  • Invoices proving the affected units were purchased new from the supplier
  • Photographs of your packaging and prep process for the ASIN
  • Return and restock policy showing how customer returns are graded
  • FBA shipment records for the affected ASIN in the complaint window

Recovery Steps

  1. 1

    Pull the actual complaints

    Read every buyer comment for the ASIN. The complaints normally point at one specific cause — packaging, returns, or commingling.

  2. 2

    End commingling on the ASIN

    Switch to labelled stickerless-off inventory so your units are never mixed with another seller's.

  3. 3

    Change the prep, then show it

    Poly bag, seal, void fill, and a photo of a finished unit. Evidence of the new process beats a promise of care.

  4. 4

    Fix the returns loop

    State clearly that customer returns are no longer restocked as new without inspection, and who inspects them.
