Understanding and Managing Chargebacks: A Guide for Amazon Sellers
Hello fellow sellers,
Chargebacks can be a challenging aspect of our business. Let's discuss how to handle them effectively:
What is a chargeback?
A chargeback occurs when a customer disputes a charge with their bank or credit card company, rather than contacting the seller directly.
How to respond:
- Review the chargeback notification in the Payments section of Seller Central.
- Gather evidence to dispute the chargeback if you believe it's invalid.
- Submit your response within 11 calendar days.
Types of evidence:
- Proof of delivery
- Communication records with the customer
- Photos of the item condition
- Refund confirmation (if applicable)
Amazon's role:
Amazon will submit your evidence to the card issuer on your behalf. The final decision rests with the card issuer.
Prevention tips:
- Provide excellent customer service
- Use tracking for all shipments
- Keep detailed records of all transactions
Remember, "If you receive a chargeback, we'll notify you by email and deduct the disputed amount from your next settlement."

I don't see how this prevents anything. A buyer will do whatever they want.
& Are you suggesting we take images of every item BEFORE we ship it?
Because your "Evidence" section says "Photos of the item condition"
