Part 2/9:
Starting March 10, 2025, Amazon will calculate reimbursements for lost or damaged inventory based on the manufacturing cost of the items rather than their retail selling price. Historically, if a seller lost an item worth $10, they would receive the full amount in reimbursement, regardless of the actual manufacturing cost. Under the new policy, a seller could only expect to receive a fraction of that amount, which could severely impact their bottom line.
