What Amazon Needs to See — and How We Deliver It
Expired product appeals are documentation-heavy. Amazon wants to see that you've fixed the process, not just apologised for it.
Root Cause Identification
We identify whether the expiry issue stemmed from FBA storage, merchant-fulfilled shipment, supplier batch dating, or inventory management gaps.
Documentation Package
We help you prepare: supplier batch certificates, expiry date policies, inventory audit records, and evidence of stock disposal or correction.
You Grant Secure Secondary Access
Amazon requires that ONLY SPN & SPP certified partners can request Seller Central access. You add Go.Reinstate as a secondary user through Amazon\'s official User Permissions system. Restricted access only. Revocable by you at any time. Any non-certified provider asking for this access is violating Amazon policy.
Corrective Action Plan
We write a structured Plan of Action outlining immediate corrective steps taken — removal of affected inventory, supplier review, FBA audit.
Prevention Procedures
Amazon requires documented preventive measures. We draft your new inventory management policy including expiry date checks, FIFO procedures, and storage monitoring.
Expiry Violations: FBA vs Merchant-Fulfilled
FBA (Fulfilment by Amazon)
Amazon warehoused and shipped the product. The expired stock may have been sitting in Amazon's fulfilment centre beyond the best-before date.
Key for the appeal: We highlight your date-of-manufacture labelling, expiry dates provided at point of inbound, and request an inventory audit or removal of affected units.
FBM (Merchant-Fulfilled)
You picked and shipped the product directly. The expired item was shipped from your own warehouse or storage facility.
Key for the appeal: We build your internal quality-control process documentation demonstrating the procedures now in place to prevent recurrence.
Why We Need Secondary Access — Amazon's Official Requirement
As an Amazon SPN & SPP certified agency, Go.Reinstate is one of the very few service providers officially authorised by Amazon to access Seller Central on your behalf. Amazon's own policy states that only SPN-certified partners are permitted to request secondary user access to a seller's account. Any non-certified service provider asking for your Seller Central access is violating Amazon's terms and putting your account at serious risk. When you grant access to Go.Reinstate, you are following Amazon's own recommended process — through the official User Permissions system, restricted access only, revocable by you at any time.
