Your Amazon Returns Could Be Worth More Than You Think
Aug 28, 2026 Season 5 Episode 17
The Amazon Strategist Show

Your Amazon returns could be more than just a loss. They could be an opportunity to recover revenue.

In this episode of the Amazon Strategist Show, John Cavendish sits down with JD Sass, Co-Founder and CEO of Axiom Return Solutions, to break down what Amazon sellers can actually do with returned, removed, and unsellable inventory.

From inspecting and grading returns to sending inventory back into FBA, filing reimbursement claims, liquidating products, and more, JD explains why simply writing off returned inventory could mean leaving money on the table.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  •  What happens to Amazon FBA returns after they leave Amazon 
  •  Why unsellable inventory isn't always actually unsellable 
  •  How sellers can recover value from returned products 
  •  When inventory can be reintegrated back into FBA 
  •  How reimbursement claims can recover lost revenue 
  •  The difference between disposal, removal, liquidation, and resale 
  •  Why return data can help sellers make better business decisions 
  •  How Axiom Return Solutions handles returns at scale 

If you're an Amazon seller dealing with returns, removals, or inventory write-offs, this episode will help you look at your post-purchase operations differently and identify opportunities to recover more value from the inventory you already own.
