Returns are one of the most under-optimized cost centers for Amazon sellers. While most sellers focus on acquisition and ads, customer returns quietly erode margins — especially in categories like apparel, shoes, and accessories. Amazon’s latest updates to the FBA Grade & Resell program are designed to change that equation. With expanded categories, automated pricing logic, and ASIN-level control, sellers now have a clearer path to recover value from customer returns without adding operational complexity. What Is Amazon FBA Grade & Resell? The Grade & Resell program allows eligible customer-returned items to be: Inspected by Amazon Graded by condition Relisted and sold as Used items Instead of liquidation or disposal, sellers recover partial revenue. What’s New in the Latest Update Expanded Categories Amazon now supports: Watches Jewelry Luggage Shoes Apparel This unlocks recovery potential for high-return categories. Automatic Pricing Adjustments Used prices automatically reflect: New item price changes Discount percentage updates Manual overrides remain available.
