⏱
The 60-Day Clock Is Always Running
Since January 2025, Amazon slashed the claim filing window from 18 months to just 60 days. Every day without an audit means older discrepancies expire permanently — regardless of their validity.

The Problem
FBA Is Profitable. Unclaimed Errors Quietly Erase Your Margins
Amazon makes mistakes — inventory goes missing, fees are miscalculated, returns are mishandled. Most sellers never recover these losses because they don't know where to look or when to file.
💰
Manufacturing Cost Documentation Required
Since March 2025, Amazon reimburses at manufacturing cost — not selling price. Without submitting your own cost evidence, Amazon uses internal estimates that are frequently 30–50% below your actual cost.
🤖
Automation Tools Are Getting Flagged More
Bulk-filing bots submit generic claims Amazon increasingly rejects. They were built for the old 18-month model and cannot prepare the tailored documentation Amazon now requires — or appeal denials effectively.

Recovery Types
Every Type of Amazon FBA Discrepancy — Covered
Most sellers are unaware of how many categories of reimbursement exist. We check all of them, every day.
🚫
Lost Inventory
Units acknowledged as received at an FBA centre but not reflected in your inventory or sales. The most common and highest-value discrepancy category.
Typical: $200–$1,000/month⚠️
Damaged Inventory
Items damaged in Amazon's warehouse or during fulfillment that were not reimbursed automatically through Amazon's own claims process.
Typical: $100–$500/month↩️
Return Discrepancies
Customer-returned items not put back into sellable inventory or not properly reimbursed by Amazon within the required timeframe.
Typical: $200–$800/month⚙️
FBA Fee Overcharges
Incorrect weight and dimension measurements, wrong category fees, and double-charged fulfillment fees that persist until challenged.
Typical: $300–$900/month🚛
Inbound Shipment Shortfalls
Units shipped with tracked delivery to an FBA centre but not correctly checked in by Amazon's receiving team during inbound processing.
Typical: $100–$500/month🗑
Removal & Disposal Errors
Units Amazon removed or disposed of that were not returned to you or appropriately compensated under Amazon's removal programme.
Typical: $50–$300/monthℹ Industry data. Actual amounts vary by account size, category, and volume. A free audit reveals your specific recoverable amount.

⚠️
2025 Amazon FBA Policy Changes
What changed and why it hurts your bottom lineJan 2025
60-Day Claim Window (was 18 months)
Amazon reduced the filing window from 18 months to just 60 days. Any valid claim filed after 60 days is permanently rejected — no exceptions, no appeals.
Mar 2025
Manufacturing Cost Reimbursement (was selling price)
Amazon now reimburses at your manufacturing cost, not estimated sale value. Without your own cost documentation, Amazon's internal estimates are typically 30–50% lower than actual costs.
Ongoing
Automated Claim Rejection Rates Rising
Amazon's systems increasingly flag and reject bulk-filed generic claims. Manual, case-specific filing with proper documentation now achieves significantly higher approval rates.

Switched from an automated tool to SeahorseDesk after the 2025 policy changes. The difference in approval rates was immediate. They recovered $3,200 in the first three months — money I'd completely written off.
The free audit alone was eye-opening. Harishchandra and his team found £900 in recoverable claims I didn't know existed. Professional, thorough, and exactly what the performance-based model should look like.
As an Indian seller expanding to Amazon US, I was overwhelmed. SeahorseDesk handled product research, FBA setup, and then managed reconciliation from day one. The IPI score support alone saved us from storage surcharges in Q4.
After the March 2025 manufacturing cost change, our previous reimbursement service couldn't handle the documentation requirements. SeahorseDesk recovered $1,800 in the first month using proper cost evidence. The difference is clear.
I sell on Amazon.de and Amazon.com simultaneously. SeahorseDesk handles both marketplaces with the same attention to detail. When a batch of claims was denied, they appealed immediately and recovered 70% of the rejected amount. No automated tool can do that.
FellowBooks sells books across Amazon India and US. SeahorseDesk identified inbound shortfalls and return discrepancies we had no idea about. Their daily auditing caught claims we would have permanently lost. Highly recommended for any book seller on FBA.
Golden Books has been selling books on Amazon for years, but we never properly tracked FBA discrepancies. Harishchandra ran a full audit and recovered amounts we thought were simply lost. The process was transparent and professional throughout.
Every client I take on gets my personal attention. I review every audit report before it goes out. When a claim is denied, I look at it myself before we file the appeal. SeahorseDesk is not a platform — it's a service built on personal accountability. If we don't recover money for you, you pay nothing. That's not just a business model. That's a promise.

FAQ
Common Questions from Amazon FBA Sellers
Everything you need to know about our FBA reimbursement and account management services.
How did Amazon's 2025 policy changes affect FBA reimbursements?
Two major changes. From January 2025, the claim filing window dropped from 18 months to 60 days — any claim filed after this is permanently rejected. From March 2025, Amazon switched reimbursements from estimated sale value to manufacturing cost. Without accurate cost evidence submitted with each claim, Amazon uses its own internal estimates, which are frequently 30–50% below actual production costs. Together, these changes mean that late filing or poor documentation directly and permanently costs you money you are legitimately owed.
What does SeahorseDesk actually do, step by step?
You grant read-only access to your Seller Central account — we cannot make purchases, change listings, or move funds. We audit every transaction daily and identify every valid reimbursement opportunity. We file each claim individually with tailored manufacturing-cost documentation, fully compliant with Amazon's current terms. You receive monthly statements showing every claim filed and its outcome. Denied claims are reviewed and re-filed with strengthened evidence where appropriate.
What does SeahorseDesk charge for FBA reimbursement recovery?
Our reimbursement recovery service is 100% performance-based — we charge a commission only on amounts we actually recover for you. If we recover nothing, you pay nothing. FBA account management and product research are priced on a monthly retainer based on account size and scope. The initial audit is completely free with no obligation whatsoever.
Do you work with sellers in India, UK, and Canada — not just the US?
Yes. We actively support sellers on Amazon.com (US), Amazon.co.uk (UK), Amazon.in (India), Amazon.ca (Canada), Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, Amazon.es (EU), and Amazon.com.au (Australia). For Indian sellers expanding internationally, we offer full end-to-end support including product research, account setup, and ongoing FBA management and reconciliation.
Why use SeahorseDesk over an automated FBA reimbursement tool?
Automated tools were designed for the old 18-month window and pre-2025 reimbursement model. They submit generic bulk claims Amazon increasingly flags and rejects — and they cannot prepare customised manufacturing cost documentation now required under current policy. They also have no meaningful appeal process for denied claims. SeahorseDesk uses manual expert filing with tailored documentation, achieving higher approval rates and actively appealing denials — something automation fundamentally cannot do.
Is SeahorseDesk fully compliant with Amazon's seller policies?
Yes, completely. Every action we take strictly follows Amazon's current terms of service. We never use bulk automation, grey-hat methods, or any approach that creates risk for your account. Every claim is manually reviewed, individually prepared, and submitted through Amazon's official channels. Your account health and standing are never put at risk.
How much money can I expect to recover from an FBA audit?
Most FBA sellers lose between 1% and 3% of annual revenue to unrecovered discrepancies. For a seller doing $200,000/year in FBA revenue, that's $2,000–$6,000 left on the table. Individual amounts vary significantly by account size, product category, return rate, and how long discrepancies have been accumulating. The free audit reveals your specific recoverable amount within 48 hours — with no obligation to proceed. Some sellers find a few hundred dollars; others discover several thousand from a single audit period.
What information do you need to get started?
Just read-only access to your Amazon Seller Central account. We use Amazon's official Selling Partner API with read-only permissions — we cannot make purchases, change listings, adjust pricing, or move funds. We will never ask for your Seller Central login credentials. The setup takes about 5 minutes, and once granted, we complete your free audit within 48–72 hours. You see the full report — every discrepancy identified and the total recoverable amount — before you decide whether to proceed.
