What makes Seller Investigators different?
Seller Investigators recovers 30% more money than our competitors. How? As part of the Carbon6 ecosystem, we have greater access to better resources and more dedicated personnel, all of which we allocate to efficiently recover every dollar of your money.
Other companies may not spend time hunting $50 or $100 reimbursements, allocating their resources instead to only finding larger returns. However, we understand that those smaller cases can add up, and greatly impact your profit margins. You deserve all of your money, not just some of it, which is why Seller Investigators pursues every single dollar Amazon owes you.
Seller Investigators is also the only company that credits the fees paid when Amazon reverses a reimbursement. With a dashboard that is the most transparent tool of its kind in the industry and a Weights & Dimensions feature that is unrivaled by our competitors, Seller Investigators stands out as the most dynamic and trusted Amazon reimbursements service available today.
