sale once they have been processed.
• Closed: all units are positively received in your shipment. If your products were in transit to a FC prior to the shipment being closed, your shipment will continue to be received. Do not, however, send inventory on a closed shipment as this may result in overage charges and the inventory not being properly received by the FC.

How does Amazon handle customer returns/refunds and customer service for my FBA orders?
With FBA, Amazon provides customer service and handles returns for all your FBA orders on your behalf.
Returns: when a customer returned product comes back to a FC, the condition of each item is assessed to determine if the item is sellable or unsellable. If sellable, it will be returned to your inventory and made available for purchase again, if unsellable, we will assess who caused the damage and determine the eligibility reimbursement.
Refunds: a refund is a customer credit for all or part of the cost of a purchased item. In some cases, customers are issued a “return less refund,” meaning the customer isn’t required to send the item back to the fulfilment centre but will still benefit from the credit. Some items that are not eligible for return may be eligible for a refund

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Pan-European FBA work?
After you’ve sent your products to an EU fulfilment centre, we’ll store your inventory across our fulfilment centres in the EU countries that you enabled for inventory placement in order to meet anticipated customer demand. We distribute your inventory across these countries at no additional cost. You can track your Pan-European FBA offers by using all of your standard reports and tools.

1) You have created an active FBA offer in all of the Amazon European stores listed as required on Pan-European FBA inventory.
2) You have sent your products to an EU fulfilment centre and enabled inventory placement in at least two countries among Germany, France, Italy, Spain or Poland. Belgium and the Netherlands are currently not options for Pan-European FBA inventory placement.

How does Remote Fulfilment between the UK and the EU work?
This programme allows FBA sellers with an EU account to store their inventory in local fulfilment centres and fulfil orders from other EU stores, maximising inventory control and flexibility. To sell between the UK and the EU using Remote Fulfilment, you must have the following:
• Access to both the UK and the EU stores in your Seller Central account
• Shipping programmes and export settings enabled. For EU to UK fulfilment, all EU stores must be enabled for export (Germany, Italy, France, Spain). If you have more than one EU account, each account must be managed separately.

What is FBA’s Manage Excess Inventory?

It helps you evaluate product demand and costs, seller inputs and price elasticity, identifies problems that may be affecting your product sales, and gives you options for selling your inventory.
What is FBA Sell-Through Rate?
The FBA Sell-Through Rate is the number of units sold and shipped in the last 90 days divided by the average number of units in stock. The average number of units in stock is obtained by taking snapshots of the inventory levels on the particular day in question, as well as 30, 60, and 90 days before that.
Your Manage Inventory Health Report on Seller Central shows your recommendations to improve your Sell-Through Rate.

What is FBA's Stranded Inventory Percentage?
A listing may become stranded if it was not created properly in first place or gets surpressed. If this happens, it starts collecting storage fees but is not available to be sold because the listing is not active.
Your performance is measured by the percentage of your FBA inventory units that can't be bought on Amazon right now. This is called the "stranded inventory percentage.

What is FBA’s Excess Inventory Percentage?
Excess inventory percentage is the percentage of your FBA inventory units that are excess, or have over 90 days of supply.
Excess or aged inventory negatively impacts the Inventory Performance Index, or IPI, which is a way to measure how well your inventory is doing over time.
Your IPI score checks the way you manage your FBA inventory. Your performance dashboard helps you find ways to increase sales, cut costs, and keep track of key performance metrics.

What is FBA In-Stock Rate?
In-stock rate tracks how successfully you maintain popular goods in stock.
This accounts for FBA goods that have had sales in past 60 days only. It doesn’t account for items without sales or for seller-fulfilled products (i.e. products for which you handle the storage, packing and shipping).
In Seller Central, this metric is shown on the inventory dashboard and updated daily. Maintaining a 90-100 percent in-stock rate is considered good.

What are the FBA recovery services available?
Amazon provides programmes to help FBA sellers recover value from customer returns and excess inventory. With the FBA Grade and Resell service, sellers can recoup value from unfulfillable customer returns by having them professionally graded and relisted as used items. With the FBA Liquidations programme, sellers can sell off excess or unsold inventory through Amazon's liquidation channels to recover some of the original cost.
