If you are a vendor, the main culprit is ‘๐๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐’.

Shortage fees are triggered predominantly by automated systems. The problem with Amazonโs machine-driven processes is that machines make mistakes.
In Amazonโs case, to a substantial degree.
Because these fees are not payments requested by Amazon, they are automatically deducted from the vendor’s invoice, which places a significant burden on vendors.

Amazon knows mistakes happen, because they have a ๐ฆ๐ต๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ ๐๐ถ๐๐ฝ๐๐๐ฒ ๐ฃ๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐๐ (๐ฆ๐๐ฃ).
However, the incentive for Amazon to improve their automated systems is, well, minimal.
Many vendors to Amazon are not even aware of what they could be owed. Typically, in Australia, we find it is 1-3% of Shipped COGS.
There is a long look back period (up to 5 years), so for many brands, this is meaningful money.
