1. [LISTEN] Amazon FBA Inventory Reimbursement Policy Changes (for the Bad)

The podcast title is a bit clickbait, but the content is solid and short

  • Effective March 10, 2025, Amazon will reimburse you based on the product manufacturing costs of the affected inventory instead of the selling price
  • Reimbursement is for product costs only ignoring shipping, handling, customs duties, etc.
  • Product costs are determined by Amazon or you provide manufacturing costs directly and expose your supply chain information
