Don’t stop at “sold”: Why post-sale optimization matters for Amazon sellers

Making the sale isn’t the finish line. It’s the profit leak zone most sellers ignore.

Why post-sale optimization matters for Amazon sellers

Most Amazon sellers have their workflow down to a science. Find profitable products. Ship them to FBA. Price competitively. Track the profits rolling in.

But here’s the thing: your journey doesn’t end when the customer clicks “buy.” There’s a critical fifth stage that most sellers completely miss. And it’s bleeding their profits dry.

The missing stage in most seller workflows: recovery

Amazon processes millions of items daily through its fulfillment centers. Mistakes happen constantly. Your inventory gets damaged during receiving. A customer claims a refund but keeps the product. You get charged the wrong FBA fees for months.

These errors quietly drain thousands from your bottom line every year. Recovery means getting that money back. It’s reclaiming the revenue that disappeared somewhere between your warehouse and the customer’s doorstep.

Manual claim filing takes hours of digging through reports and arguing with Seller Support. Most sellers either give up entirely or hand over 15-25% of their recovered funds to reimbursement services. That’s money straight out of your pocket for fixing Amazon’s mistakes.

Top FBA reimbursement types sellers miss:

  • Lost inventory during inbound shipping
  • Damaged items in fulfillment centers
  • Customer return processing errors
  • Incorrect dimensional weight fees
  • Overcharged FBA storage fees
  • Destroyed inventory without authorization

How Seller 365 Pro covers the entire journey

You already know the standard seller workflow. Source products with scanning apps or online arbitrage tools. Prep and ship with inventory management software. Compete for the Buy Box with smart repricing. Track your numbers with profit analytics.

But almost no seller stack includes that crucial fifth stage: Recovery

Seller 365 Pro changes the game completely. For $199/month flat, you get:

Sourcing: Tactical Arbitrage for online arbitrage, ScoutIQ for books, Scoutify for retail arbitrage, ScoutX for quick Amazon checks

Operations backbone: InventoryLab for shipping and prep

Competition tools: SmartRepricer for automated pricing, FeedbackWhiz Emails & Alerts for review and feedback request automation, and monitoring

Profit management: IL Accounting for tax-ready books and FeedbackWhiz Profits for tracking your numbers

Recovery engine: Full reimbursement support with absolutely zero commission

And now, for a limited time, our free reimbursements cap is increased to $5M annual sales.

Selling more than $5M annually? Your first $2,000 in monthly reimbursements costs nothing. Everything above that gets a tiny 10% fee—still one of the lowest rates you’ll find anywhere.

Why go for this limited-time upgrade?

Our standard Seller 365 Pro plan caps free reimbursements at $1M in annual sales. Anything above that gets hit with a 10% commission. Solid deal, but we’re going bigger.

Right now, we’re extending zero-commission reimbursements all the way to $5M in yearly sales. This promotion transforms how much money stays in your account versus going to service fees.

The kicker? Lock in now and keep these terms forever. No surprise rate hikes. No policy changes. No “promotional period ending” emails. Just permanent access to commission-free reimbursements as long as you stay subscribed.

Sellers already using our tools, why not get reimbursements too?

If you’re already running Tactical Arbitrage searches or shipping with InventoryLab, you know our tools deliver. You trust them with your sourcing decisions and inventory management. Now let those same tools literally pay you back.

Adding reimbursements to your existing workflow takes minutes. Enable the feature, connect your Seller Central, and watch our system identify every penny Amazon owes you. Same dashboard, same login, just more money flowing back to your account.

New to Threecolts? Perfect timing. Test drive the entire Seller 365 Pro suite free for up to 14 days. See exactly how much money you’re missing in reimbursements before committing a single dollar.
