Returns: What Resellers Should Expect

1 min read · Selling on Amazon.ca

Returns are part of selling online. Plan for them in your numbers.

What to expect

Return rates vary by category. Electronics and clothing run higher.

FBA returns

Amazon decides whether the item can be resold. Check returned units; some should not go back on sale as new.

FBM returns

Inspect and photograph on arrival before refunding or restocking.

Budget for it

Include a returns allowance in every profit calculation.

High-value items

Record serial numbers before shipping.
