Thanks for the Fun With Wild Animals referral! Now if only I could figure out how to post pics of my own menagerie…
When you reply, there will be a box to type in. Along the top of that box will be a row of icons. About in the middle of that row is an icon that looks like a landscape painting. Click it.
Bless you, rms, I followed your instructions and omg it worked!.
Moi?
You can also do screen shots and do a simple copy / paste. That way it can be something that isn’t actually a saved file.
Now you have 2 ways to share your pets and other things.
Ollie agrees ![]()
Yes, you do in my book.
Especially-so in your recent responses over in the NSFE regarding Returns.
If everyone who requested a refund actually returned the item, I would do returnless refunds, because it’s cheaper. However, at least half the people don’t send it back, so I make money in the end if I ask for the items back.
Since that thread is somehow attached to me (I do like cats) even though it was a split from another thread about “wild animals” you sure can share “other things” on the thread.
The last think I shared was racoon poop, be sure to see how bad that can be if you ingest it.
@suzq48 Welcome to the SAS! It is a great open, helpful and friendly place for sellers on many market places.
Love your cat and cockatoo, one of our products target both these gifts from God.
Too bad you can’t make a refund conditional on a video of smashing the item with a hammer. Would eliminate the people not actually returning it and save return shipping at the same time.
Why would I do that? If they don’t return it, I don’t refund, which means that 50% of the return requests end up being a sale.
Too much thought for too small a problem. If I sold merch that boomerangs I might have to think about it to a greater extent.
I meant for a returnless refund, proof of destruction.
Interesting. We had one in the last 24 hours that made me feel like that.
The customer was rather gruff in why we were jerks and that the catalog page was wrong. Ok, it has been up for 8 years, and this is the first person that said, does not match the catalog page. A sub $8 item, my first reaction, send it back here is a prepaid label (the item was INCORECTLY identified as Hazmat.) My right hand man, a woman said just refund it. I told the customer to discard the item and asked the application they were using it for.
Turns out it was for one of our products, they picked the wrong marker. We recommended the right markers and they bought them on Amazon.
Thank God for team members smarter than I am.
Anyone see any changes in this regard…now that I’m wading back into deeper waters of FBA - seems about consistent Nov 23, Dec 23 and Feb 25 are all well under ~ < 2%; I know it varies from category to category, but whilst there is talk about bread lines and world of warcraft 7 - I think multiple indicators are in order.
Our return rate is .5% (point 5 percent).
Funny since returns aren’t allowed in the category. ![]()
FBA “Returns” for refused, unable to deliver, etc are in this number…
Both Customer and carrier faulted events are in the metric.
Sounds fair, right???
I just did some quick math out of curiosity…
We have a pretty busy account and the “general adjustment” refunds we get in a month can be counted on a single hand. Those are the returns where customer service just gives away our $ because they feel like it.
Those returns do not add up to .5%. But if you add in the refusals and delivery issues it does.

Actual unsellable returns, less than 0.7%-0.3% as most FBA returns are simple packaging damage from either being opened or damaged. Most returns are simply looked at, stickered over the LPN and shipped back to Amazon.
