Every Amazon payout hits my bank as one lump number and QBO just stares at me waiting for an explanation.

FBA fees, referral fees, storage, reimbursements, ad spend: all netted together. I’ve been manually splitting it out every settlement and it’s killing me.

What’s your setup? Is there a way to automate this or is everyone just suffering through it?

I just received a package that I shipped out in February which was marked Return to Sender – No Mail Receptacle by USPS. How do I bill the customer the cost of shipping to send it out to them again?

This is a custom item so I can’t just refund and resell.

There’s no buyer email listed and when I go to message the buyer, there’s no option for billing them.

Hello, Please help. I started with £7 a day had a ROAS of £1.56. According to the website recommendations I increased my budget to £25 and my ROAS fell to £0.8-£1.2 max and I ended up with a big charge.

1) why did that happen? It’s like Amazon want to tell you it’ll payboff if you spend more on ads and then they “ruin” your algorithm. For the record I listed in December 2025.

2) I was also shocked to find out that Amazon are taking nearly 50% of my item. Their inventory page only shows me the FBA fees and I didn’t include the referral fee. This leaves no margin almost considering the cost of the item and the storage fees and I’m losing money every month. Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I just had a quick question. If I purchase a book from Amazon and I then discover that the book was AI generated (such as a reference book to learn a language) and I return the item, does Amazon eat the cost or are the costs clawed back from the “author”?

I’ve only ever used Amazon AGL to get goods from China direct to Amazon warehouses. I’m started to scale and grow to the point where I want to start optimizing down my costs in whatever way I can.

I’ve found that the AGL rates have worked for me and I like how seamless the process is, but is it generally cheaper with other forwarders? How do I go about finding good forwarders?

Also, another note if you have any input on is: when is it a good time to use a 3PL or non Amazon warehouse storage or is it not necessary (I do only FBA).

I’ve not wanted to do storage at 3PL mainly due to the fact that then I need to pay for shipping twice. Once from China to whatever storage 3PL. Then from 3PL to Amazon warehouse. I have a feeling 3PL isn’t a great choice u less you’re doing FBM.

Thanks!
