Executive summary
You can build an EU-focused Amazon reimbursement recovery service, but only if you win on watching accounts constantly, keeping cost data clean, and handling VAT properly.
People already pay for this, and they pay on contingency: 10% to 25% of whatever you recover. The need keeps coming back because new discrepancies pile up every week. Your first job with a client can be a back-audit of past errors, then you switch to ongoing monitoring.
Your best entry point is mid-market EU sellers who run Pan-EU inventory across Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. They reconcile everything by hand, tie it all back to VAT, and get none of the automatic flows US sellers get. So the work is harder for them than in the US.
The catch is that Amazon has cut how much you can recover. They now reimburse at manufacturing cost and give you less time to file. So you win on doing the audit well, doing it fast, and keeping tight documentation, not on landing one big claim.
- Mid-size EU brands feel this the most. They reconcile lost inventory, returns, and fees by hand, and they have to tie every reimbursement back to their VAT reporting.
- Amazon cut the claim window to 60 days. That makes constant monitoring far more valuable than the occasional audit.
- The market already accepts contingency pricing. GETIDA charges 25%. Helium 10 Managed Refund charges 15% to 18%.
- AI mostly helps with pulling numbers off invoices and keeping cost data clean. It won't replace the human who chases claims and keeps the paperwork straight.

Questions, answered
What do you actually do for my account?
We start with a low-friction first audit, then monitor continuously for lost inventory, returns, and fee discrepancies. The output is recovered funds plus cleaner cost and VAT tie-outs.
Why not just use a generic refund service?
The wedge here is EU-native execution: German-speaking support, VAT-aware reconciliation, and Pan-EU workflows across DE, FR, IT, and ES. That matters more as Amazon keeps shrinking recoverable value.
What if Amazon rejects valid claims?
That risk is part of the job, so persistence and clean documentation are the moat. We also keep access narrow and can begin from exported reports before deeper Seller Central or SP-API access.
