You are leaking profit inside Amazon’s own ledger right now, and you cannot see it. In 2026, an FBA seller running even $500K in annual volume routinely has lost, damaged, and mis-weighed inventory scattered across dozens of Seller Central reports — units Amazon received but never credited, returns refunded to customers but never returned to your stock, fees calculated on the wrong dimensions. Amazon’s expanded auto-reimbursement quietly covers a slice of this, then closes the window on the rest, and the 18-month claim clock keeps expiring on money that was always yours.
This guide is for FBA business owners and operators who already run a live Seller Central account, understand order and inventory basics, and can copy a report and follow a workflow. It assumes you want to recover owed money systematically — either for your own accounts or as a service you sell. It is not a beginner’s “how to start selling on Amazon” course, it is not tax or legal advice, and it does not cover PPC, listing optimization, or sourcing.
Be honest about the tooling: AI is excellent at parsing report exports, spotting discrepancy patterns across thousands of rows, and drafting case language fast — the tedious audit work it does better and cheaper than a human ever could. It is bad at judging edge cases, and it will confidently over-claim if you let it. Every claim you file is a compliance event tied to your account health, so human review before submission is non-negotiable — this guide is built around that guardrail, not around blind automation.
