Trusting your products to Amazon FBA is like sending them to a really efficient, yet occasionally clumsy robot. It works great most of the time, but every now and then… poof. Things get lost, returned weirdly, or damaged. That’s where the Helium 10 Managed Refund Service steps in and saves the day.
Table of Contents
As a Helium 10 Seller Solutions Hub Partner, guest author on the Helium 10 blog, and former guest on their podcast, I’ve seen plenty of cases where sellers left serious money on the table just because they didn’t know what they were owed—or didn’t have time to go and fight for it.
Let’s face it, manually digging through Amazon reports and opening cases isn’t exactly how any of us want to spend our Sunday afternoons. That’s why even though you can technically do it with Helium 10's Refund Genie, I always prefer to outsource this headache.
Why are Amazon FBA reimbursements important?
Amazon promises to reimburse when stuff goes wrong—like when inventory vanishes or gets smashed somewhere in the FBA warehouse multiverse. But in practice, chasing those refunds is a mini odyssey. Between stock destruction, mismatched returns, or billing bugs, you can easily lose 5–10% of your revenue if you’re not checking regularly.
The benefits of Helium 10 dealing with your FBA reimbursements
This service puts a specialist team on your side. They mix advanced tech with human experts who know exactly where to look for your missing money—and how to convince Amazon it’s yours.
Making claims easier
Forget spreadsheets. Helium 10 automates the whole process of finding errors and submitting cases. It’s not just easier—it’s way more efficient.
Getting the most from your refunds
They know which claims are most likely to win. That means they skip the dead ends and go straight for the real money. Basically: more cash back, less drama.
Clear pricing
No shady math here. No upfront fees. They only get paid when you do—and the fee can go as low as 25%. I’ll take that deal any day over money lost forever.
Pro tip: If you’ve been selling on Amazon for more than a year and never ran a reimbursement audit, go back 18 months and start digging. The older the error, the harder to recover—but you’ve still got a shot. And yes, Helium 10 Managed Refund Service can handle those old cases too.

Our take on Helium 10 Managed Refund Service
After years working with Amazon Sellers and Vendors, I’ve seen how many let FBA mistakes fly under the radar. Helium 10’s service tackles this directly and gives you back control over your cash. It's not just about fixing errors; it's about running a smarter business.
In my own experience, unclaimed reimbursements often represent between 5% and 10% of revenue. If you’re on the 10% side of that, it probably means you’ve had bad luck with inventory. Which also means it’s time to look at your inventory management. (Pro tip within the post: Use Helium 10’s Inventory Management + Inventory Protector tools too.)
Using this service means you’re not wasting hours arguing with Seller Support. Instead, you get to focus on sourcing, growing, launching new products—while someone else goes and recovers your money.
Review
I’ve tested and reviewed hundreds of tools over the years, and Helium 10’s Managed Refund Service is one of those no-brainer additions to any seller’s toolkit. Especially if you’re already using their suite of tools—this integrates perfectly with the rest of their ecosystem. Plus, the fact that they only charge if they win for you? That’s how it should be.
So yeah, if you’re tired of babysitting Amazon and manually checking FBA reports, this service is for you. It saves time, it recovers money, and it lets you sleep better at night knowing someone’s got your back. As someone deeply embedded with Helium 10 (and proud of it), I can genuinely say: this one works.
