Amazon Europe FBA Grading & Resale Program: What You Need to Know

On February 24, Amazon Europe released an announcement stating that sellers can now reclaim up to 80% of the value of unsold customer returns through the FBA Grading and Resale Program.

According to the announcement, the program will automatically assess and list returned second-hand items, allowing sellers to have full control over pricing, with no fees for participation. Amazon will provide a 60-day notice before any fee changes. This service is currently available to sellers in the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Czech Republic, and Poland.

To activate this program, sellers need to go to Seller Central, click on "Amazon Fulfillment," scroll down to "Unfulfillable Inventory Settings," and click "Edit." From there, select "FBA Grading and Resale," set the appropriate discount percentages according to the item's condition, and then click "Update" to complete the activation.

Amazon stated that the FBA Grading and Resale Program is optional and can be canceled at any time. This new product returns management option was first introduced to independent FBA sellers in the US last September. Under this program, all products returned to Amazon's return centers are thoroughly inspected and tested before being listed as sellable, with detailed condition descriptions provided before resale.

With this new program, Amazon offers European sellers a more efficient way to manage returned items, potentially boosting profits by reclaiming up to 80% of their value.
