FBA fees are calculated based on your product's dimensions and weight as measured by Amazon. When those measurements are wrong, your fees are wrong. And because Amazon measures millions of products across thousands of fulfilment centres, measurement errors happen more often than most sellers realise. The financial impact of a fee error depends on how long it has been running and how many units have been processed. A fee overcharge of fifty pence per unit on a product selling 500 units per month represents significant lost profit over a year, and that is just one product. For sellers with large catalogues and high fulfilment volumes, systematic fee errors can represent a genuinely material drain on profitability. EcommAdvize conducts fee error recovery audits for Amazon FBA sellers, identifying products where your fees are being calculated based on incorrect measurements, submitting the remeasurement requests, and recovering the overcharged fees that Amazon owes you.
How our fee error recovery process works:
Fee audit and analysis begins with a comprehensive review of your FBA fee charges against your own product specification records. We identify every product where the fees being charged do not match what your product dimensions and weight should generate. Remeasurement requests are submitted to Amazon for every product where we identify a discrepancy. Amazon is required to remeasure the product and correct the fee if an error is confirmed. Historical overcharge recovery claims are filed for the period during which incorrect fees were charged. Amazon's policy allows recovery of overcharged fees within a defined historical window, and we file claims for the full recoverable amount. Ongoing fee monitoring is recommended after the initial audit to catch new fee errors as they occur, particularly when new products are added to FBA or existing products are moved to different fulfilment centres where remeasurement may occur.
Protecting your margins at a level most sellers ignore:
Margin protection in ecommerce is usually discussed in terms of pricing strategy, advertising efficiency, and supplier negotiations. FBA fee accuracy rarely enters the conversation, which is exactly why it is such an effective margin recovery opportunity. The errors are systematic, the recovery process is well-defined, and the funds recovered go directly to your bottom line. We work on a success-fee model for fee error recovery, meaning the audit costs you nothing unless we recover funds. For sellers with large FBA catalogues, the recovery potential makes this one of the highest-return activities we offer.
