  • Amazon Listing Problems? How to Fix Brand & Catalog Issues
    Sep 11 2026

    Amazon listing problems can be frustrating, especially when you have the right to edit your own product but Amazon won't let you make the changes.

    In this podcast, we break down some of the most common Amazon catalog and listing issues sellers face, including suppressed listings, incorrect brand names, missing contribution rights, brand ownership problems, and policy-related listing issues.

    You'll learn:

    Why Amazon listings can become suppressed
    Common mistakes that can trigger listing issues
    What to do when Amazon won't let you update your brand name
    How brand ownership and Brand Registry can affect your listing
    When a full update or flat file may help
    What documentation Amazon may ask for
    How to approach Seller Support when a listing issue needs escalation
    Why repeatedly following up on an escalated case may not always help
    When to give Amazon time to review a case and when to escalate further

    If you're dealing with a suppressed Amazon listing, catalog error, brand name issue, or Seller Central listing problem, this episode offers a practical look at the troubleshooting process.

  • Amazon FBA Returns: The Settings Most Sellers Don't Know About
    Sep 4 2026

    Most Amazon sellers know they have to deal with returns. Far fewer know how many options they actually have for managing them.

    In Part 2 of the Amazon Strategist Show, John Cavendish continues his conversation with JD Sass, Co-Founder & CEO of Axiom Return Solutions, about the overlooked strategies that can help Amazon sellers recover revenue, reduce unnecessary costs, and take more control over their returned inventory.

    JD breaks down some of the lesser-known options available to sellers, including Manager Source Cost, FBA Evaluation and Ownership settings, manual removal orders, and different ways to handle returned inventory.

    In This Episode

    • How updating your Amazon Source Cost can increase reimbursement amounts
    • Why Amazon's estimated inventory cost may be lower than your actual cost
    • How to identify and file claims for damaged, missing, or incorrect returns
    • Why sellers shouldn't automatically choose disposal
    • How FBA Evaluation and Ownership settings can change what happens to returned inventory
    • When to use removal orders instead of letting Amazon dispose of inventory
    • Why returns data can reveal opportunities to recover revenue and cut costs
    • JD's perspective on whether Amazon gets a bad rap for its returns process

    JD also explains Axiom's free returns trial, where sellers can send in a batch of returns for processing and receive data through a dedicated dashboard before committing to a long-term solution.

    If you're managing significant Amazon FBA return volume, this episode is a reminder that small operational decisions can have a meaningful impact on your bottom line.

  • Your Amazon Returns Could Be Worth More Than You Think
    Aug 28 2026

    Your Amazon returns could be more than just a loss. They could be an opportunity to recover revenue.

    In this episode of the Amazon Strategist Show, John Cavendish sits down with JD Sass, Co-Founder and CEO of Axiom Return Solutions, to break down what Amazon sellers can actually do with returned, removed, and unsellable inventory.

    From inspecting and grading returns to sending inventory back into FBA, filing reimbursement claims, liquidating products, and more, JD explains why simply writing off returned inventory could mean leaving money on the table.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • What happens to Amazon FBA returns after they leave Amazon
    • Why unsellable inventory isn't always actually unsellable
    • How sellers can recover value from returned products
    • When inventory can be reintegrated back into FBA
    • How reimbursement claims can recover lost revenue
    • The difference between disposal, removal, liquidation, and resale
    • Why return data can help sellers make better business decisions
    • How Axiom Return Solutions handles returns at scale

    If you're an Amazon seller dealing with returns, removals, or inventory write-offs, this episode will help you look at your post-purchase operations differently and identify opportunities to recover more value from the inventory you already own.
