1 Definition

A bagging chargeback means that a product requiring a bag was not bagged or was not properly bagged. [1]

Products must be bagged if they need protection from damage, dust, or leaks — for example, a stuffed animal with no packaging, or a bottle of liquid that could spill. [1]

✕ What triggers it

Detailed requirements are published [2]

  • The product requires a bag but arrived without one [1]
  • The bag is not fully sealed
  • Bag thickness is below 1.5 mil
  • The barcode cannot be scanned through the bag and no label was applied outside
  • Bag opening is ≥ 5 inches when flat but has no suffocation warning
  • The bag extends more than 3 inches beyond the product dimensions
  • Adult products were not packaged in opaque bags or shrink wrap
✓ How to prevent it
  • Use a transparent poly bag that fully encloses the item and seal it completely [1]
  • Make sure the barcode scans through the bag; if the bag is opaque, apply a barcode label on the outside [1]
  • Add a suffocation warning when the bag opening is large enough to require one [1]
  • Bag thickness ≥ 1.5 mil; suffocation warning required at ≥ 5 in opening; bag within 3 in of product [2]
  • Keep only one scannable barcode visible — cover all others [2]
  • Package adult products in opaque bags or shrink wrap [2]
  • For liquids that may still leak, add a cap seal in addition to bagging [2]
