Sending your products to Amazon FBA is kind of like shipping them off to a super-efficient robot that occasionally drops the ball. Most of the time it works great, but sometimes… boom. Things disappear, come back in weird condition or get damaged. That’s where the Helium 10 Managed Refund Service comes in to save your bacon.

I’m a Helium 10 Seller Solutions Hub Partner, guest writer on their blog and I’ve even been on their podcast so I’ve seen my fair share of sellers leaving serious cash on the table just because they didn’t know what Amazon owed them or didn’t want to deal with the hassle.
Let’s be honest, no one wants to spend their Sunday digging through Amazon reports or opening cases. Sure, you could do it manually using Helium 10’s Refund Genie, but I’d rather hand it off to someone else and save myself the headache.
Why do Amazon FBA reimbursements matter?
Amazon says they’ll reimburse you when stuff goes missing or gets smashed in their warehouse maze. Sounds good on paper, but in real life, getting that money back is a grind. Between lost stock, returns that don’t match and weird billing errors, you could be losing 5–10% of your revenue without even realizing it.
Why let Helium 10 handle your FBA reimbursements?
You get a pro team in your corner. They use a combo of smart software and real people who know exactly where to look for missing money, and how to get Amazon to pay up.
Way easier claims
No spreadsheets. Helium 10 automates the whole process of finding issues and opening cases. Less work, more results.
Better refunds
They go after the claims that are most likely to win. That means less time wasted on dead ends and more actual money back.
Simple pricing
No funny business. No upfront costs. They only get paid if you do, and their cut can be as low as 25%. Way better than losing the money forever.
Pro tip: If you’ve been selling for over a year and haven’t done a reimbursement audit, go back 18 months and start digging. The older the issue, the harder it is to recover, but it’s not impossible. Helium 10’s team can handle those older cases too.

Our take on Helium 10 Managed Refund Service
After years working with Amazon Sellers and Vendors, I’ve seen tons of people ignore FBA screw-ups. Helium 10’s service fixes that and helps you take control of your cash again. It’s not just about correcting errors, it’s about running a tighter operation.
In my experience, missed reimbursements often add up to 5–10% of a seller’s revenue. If you’re closer to 10%, that probably means you’ve had more than your fair share of inventory issues, which also means it’s time to look at your inventory setup. (Little tip: use Helium 10’s Inventory Management and Inventory Protector tools while you’re at it.)
Using this service means no more wasting hours arguing with Seller Support. You can focus on growing your business while someone else hunts down your lost cash.
