Sellers on Amazon are losing money because of unfair return charges.
Let’s understand with a simple example:
You sell a product for ₹1000 (lets assume a mixer grinder)
Amazon charges ₹220 for shipping (because the item is big)
A buyer returns a wrong item — a tiny thing like a charger
Even though the returned item is small, Amazon still takes ₹220 as shipping charge from you.
Now let’s see what you get back:
Amazon gives you a refund of ₹600 as safety claim (because the return was wrong)
But they also cut ₹220 for shipping
So, you only get ₹380
Generally the product cost is higher than this because sellers keep minimum margin to sell their product in this tough competitive marketplace — even though it was not your fault!
This is unfair. Amazon should not charge full shipping fees when a wrong product is returned. Sellers need support, not losses!
