How do I refund a returned item and not pay the seller fee

A customer contacted me after changing her mind about a purchase. I had posted the item a few hours before the message. I replied to ask them to return the item and I would refund them once I had the item back. But how do I refund them and not pay the seller fee? Or should they contact Amazon to do this and get a label? I said they would need to pay the return postage. I am a sole trader making handmade items at home. (I normally sell via Etsy where the return and refund process is much easier!) and have never had a customer change their mind before on here so have no idea what to do! Thank you. Chloe

Have you checked Seller University in Seller Central for information on this. There is lots of information that you should have already read/watched. Refunds is a key part of selling on Amazon so you need to familiarise yourself with the detail.

Here is a link, do spend the time to understand everything in it and while you are at it, there's plenty more.

By 'seller fee', are you referring to the Amazon fee deducted from each of your sales?

If yes, Amazon returns/reimburses those fees, you should be able to see it in your payments/transactions view/Amazon fees column. Number in Amazon fees column is usually red/negative to indicate deduction, but the reimbursement (for the customer refund) will show a positive value.

This amount would go to the seller reserve, then when returns are issued, I had the due amount debited from the seller reserve to the customer.

Hope that's what you were looking for.
