Incorrect items were shipped to the customer and then a refund was issued by Amazon
Hello,
I'm in a very strange situation: A customer placed an order on one of the listings I sell, Amazon shipped the customer an incorrect item. The customer initiated a return because it was not what they ordered to begin with. The FC received the return, dispositioned as "Customer Damaged" and "Unsellable". I created a removal order for this item to see what exactly happened and to my surprise, this is an item that I never created a listing nor sold even once.
While all this happened, an original unit from the inventory was lost because Amazon system assumed that the incorrect unit shipped was actually from my inventory. I tried contacting the seller support but as always they are absolutely helpless and replied saying that "Amazon does not assume responsibility for the units damaged by customer and are not reimbursable per Amazon policy"
I'm assuming this unit was from someone else's inventory and the same thing might have happened to them.
Wanted to check if anyone dealt with a similar situation and if there is a path forward I can explore to get reimbursed for my inventory.
