New ASIN Inclusion Feature Gives Sellers More Control in FBA Grade & Resell

Managing returns effectively remains one of the most important - and often most overlooked - parts of Amazon selling. For many businesses, returned items sit in storage, generate extra fees, or create losses. Amazon’s FBA Grade and Resell program has helped sellers recover value from returns, and now, a new update offers even more control.

Amazon has introduced an ASIN Inclusion feature, allowing sellers to enroll specific products into Grade and Resell instead of the entire catalog. This gives more strategic control over return recovery and helps sellers focus on the items most likely to generate meaningful resale revenue.

What’s New

Previously, sellers could only enroll their full catalog into FBA Grade and Resell. With the new ASIN Inclusion feature, US-based FBA sellers can now:

• Select exactly which ASINs should be eligible for Grade & Resell

• Prioritize items that are high-return, durable, trend-resistant, or high-volume movers

• Track performance more precisely for enrolled products

• Monitor recovery rates directly from the Returns and Recovery Dashboard in Seller Central

This flexibility helps sellers transform more returns into resellable inventory — without committing their entire catalog.

Why This Update Matters

Returns can significantly impact profitability. However, not every item should be graded and resold. Some categories recover value better than others.

With ASIN Inclusion, sellers can now:

• Improve recovery rates by choosing only products suitable for resale

• Reduce unnecessary processing for items that aren’t ideal for resell programs

• Optimize storage and handling costs

• Turn predictable returns into predictable revenue

For growing brands, this update supports smarter inventory decisions and more efficient backend operations.

Pro Tips from Xtended.GH

To get the most out of this update, we recommend:

✓ Start with high-frequency return ASINs

These provide the quickest recovery wins.

✓ Check durability and resale potential

Electronics, fragile goods, or items with complex parts may not be ideal.

✓ Monitor your Returns & Recovery dashboard weekly

Spot trends early to improve your recovery strategy.

✓ Align inclusion decisions with seasonality

Peak periods (Q4, back-to-school) may require different ASIN strategies.
