Answer in NSFE is not complete, somebody that participates there wants/can help this poor soul?

I saw this case on the “hot topic” of the “NSFE seller forum tab”
https://sellercentral.amazon.com/seller-forums/discussions/t/9e2ad825-83d0-4720-b240-d902959dfc05?ref=forums_sc_homepage_ml_9e2ad825-83d0-4720-b240-d902959dfc05&communicationDeliveryId=392ac97f-668f-4a9b-84cb-f6c56130d47e

I don’t think that the answers given are correct or complete.
There are some walk-arounds RFS for some items, particularly high value ($2k on Amazon…, wowzer)

A high value item (over $100) can be exempted from an Amazon prepaid return label, therefore it escapes RFS

The steps to apply for the exemption are listed in this link https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G202072200

@StopByUs

This won’t help you with this particular case, but it will help in the future.

You can request SKU level return label exemptions based on the high value of your products. If granted, this will require you to manually approve returns and submit prepaid labels from your own shipper account. More work for you, but if you need this insurance in the event of product loss, it may be worth it.

Here’s the help guide - look at the section labeled SKU exceptions

Thank you, Oneida
I hate that stupid system, and the way the answers are slanted
Glad somebody had already done it
