Client issue: returns processing fees quietly erase contribution on advertised heroes
Amazon publie les avis Seller Central et Ads en anglais. Le brief ci-dessous reste en anglais pour ne pas perdre le texte source. Revue, formulaires et politiques sont dans votre langue. Confirmez les chiffres dans Seller Central.
Who it hits
Categories with elevated return rates (apparel, shoes, accessories, and others Amazon lists). Anyone scaling ads on a hero without reading return cost.
What to do this week
Pull return rate and returns processing fees on advertised heroes. Add return cost into contribution. Cap bids or fix listing/size charts where returns are the leak.
What to check before you raise CPC
- Return rate on the advertised ASIN (and child, if variations).
- Whether returns processing fees apply in that category — read Seller Central, not a blog list alone.
- Listing leaks that drive returns: size chart, material, “not as pictured,” broken variation.
- Whether prepaid FBM returns (if you mix) changed contribution on merchant-fulfilled siblings.
This week
- Reports → customer returns / economics (confirm live paths) on top advertised ASINs.
- Add estimated return cost into the contribution floor in the weekly log.
- If returns are listing-driven, fix the page before you buy more traffic. If fees dominate, lower the bid ceiling.

FAQ
Should I pause ads on high-return ASINs?
Pause ranking when contribution after returns fails your floor. Fix the listing if the page causes the return. Do not scale discovery into a known return trap.
Does this apply outside the US?
Fee programs differ by store. Open that marketplace’s help and Fee Preview before copying a US ceiling.
