How a Trade-In Moves From Doorstep to Credit
The customer prints a prepaid label from the Trade-In dashboard, boxes the item, and drops it with a carrier. Amazon receives the parcel, runs a quick condition check, and assigns one of three outcomes: full credit, adjusted credit, or return to sender. The gift card appears in the shopper’s account balance and can be spent on any product site-wide.
Why Sellers Should Track Trade-In Activity
Refurbished units can re-enter the catalog at lower prices under Amazon Warehouse. If your new listings share the ASIN, the cheaper offer may compete for the Buy Box and pull price perceptions down. High trade-in volume also signals where demand is shifting from older to newer models, useful for planning inventory turns.
