Automated Amazon Refund Exception Monitoring
Every morning, WebRun opens Amazon Seller Central to review refunds and returns processed in the last 24 hours, cross-checks them against Helium 10 order and inventory data to identify anomalies such as refunds without a returned item, multiple refunds from the same buyer, or refunds on orders that have not shipped, and posts a flagged exception list to Slack for your team to investigate.

How do I automatically flag Amazon refund abuse and exceptions every day?
WebRun reviews all Amazon refunds from the past 24 hours in Seller Central each morning, cross-checks order and inventory data in Helium 10, and posts a Slack triage list flagging refunds where items were not returned, buyers with multiple refunds, and ASINs with elevated refund rates so your team can investigate and dispute before losses accumulate.
- Refund exceptions are surfaced daily before patterns grow into significant losses
- Return-without-item cases are flagged so reimbursement claims can be filed promptly
- ASINs with elevated refund rates are identified so root-cause issues can be fixed

Questions, answered
Will it submit disputes or contact buyers automatically?
No. WebRun posts the exception list to Slack for your team to review. Any dispute filed with Amazon or contact with a buyer about a refund is handled by a human after reviewing the flagged details.
What counts as a refund exception?
WebRun flags three patterns: refunds where the item has not yet been returned to inventory, buyers who have submitted more than one refund in the past 30 days, and ASINs with a 7-day refund rate above 5 percent. You can adjust these thresholds in the run settings.
Can it catch FBA reimbursement shortfalls related to returns?
Yes. If a returned item is refunded by Amazon but never credited back to your inventory or reimbursed, WebRun flags that gap in the triage list. You can then open a case in Seller Central to claim the reimbursement.
