1 Definition

A taping chargeback means that your products weren't properly secured for shipment. [1]

Products must be taped to secure loose box lids or openings so that products do not come out and get trapped in conveyor belts. [1]

✕ What triggers it
  • Package openings (box lids, flaps, bag seams) not secured with tape [1]
  • Item is packed in a box but the box is not securely tight [2]
  • Item has loose parts not secured together [2]
  • Item is bagged or bubble-wrapped but the packaging is not sealed [2]
✓ How to prevent it
  • Ensure all package openings are properly secured [1]
  • Tape box lids and flaps so the box stays tight in transit [2]
  • Secure loose parts together before shipping [2]
  • Keep the item identifier barcode scannable after taping — do not tape over it [2]

3 Chargeback fee

MarketRate
US⚠️ No longer published — Amazon has withdrawn the US page for this chargeback. The rate article and its requirements page both return not found, and taping no longer appears in the US product-preparation index. The Canadian and Brazilian sites still carry it
CA$0.66 per unit, with no size tiers [1]CA
MX❌ No fee published — this chargeback type has no published page on the Mexican marketplace
BR$0.66 per unit, with no size tiers, as printed [1]BR ⓘOn the Brazilian marketplace Amazon publishes the Canadian page unchanged, so the amount appears in dollars and no real amount is published. Read it as printed and check your Vendor Central billing for the amount you are actually charged [1]BR.

A flat amount per defective unit — unlike the receiving-accuracy types, it does not move with your compliance rate.

Amazon has withdrawn the US page for this chargeback, and the Mexican site — which publishes the US pages unchanged — no longer carries it either. The Canadian and Brazilian pages both keep the same pre-withdrawal text: the amount is given in dollars with no currency named and no size tier [1]. Taken together with the withdrawal, this chargeback appears to have been retired across North America; treat your remittance detail as the authority on anything you are actually charged.

Internal note — not shown in product2026-09-09 八市场实测。原文两行为「See the family fee table above…」+ 一条 NA: 行 —— 第一行没有大区标记,两个 tab 都渲染,而它指向的族级费率总表是族级内容、生成器不会点入单元页,等于 EU tab 上客户一个数都看不到。现改为两张按市场表:US / CA 一张、UK / DE / IT / FR / PL / SE 一张 —— Market 表的行会按大区过滤,整表无本区行时被整块丢弃,因此两个 tab 各只看到自己那张。US 行不带 [n](无页可引)。
Internal note — not shown in product2026-09-09 六新市场实测(账本 temp/chargeback-analysis/market-expansion/ledger/fees-all.csv,筛 node=G201267160;页面矩阵 matrix.csv)—— ① MX 的 G201267160 与 G201685280 双双 404,与 US 同步下架:MX 站的 prep 索引 G201267020 与 US 版逐字相同(equivalence.csv#G201267020/MX:US,class=identical),taping 同样已从索引摘链,故 MX 行按“该站无此类型页”处置、不带 [n]。② BR 有页,与 CA 版逐字相同(equivalence.csv#G201267160/BR:CA,class=identical),仍写裸 $0.66 per unit、无分档(F-BR-G201267160-7-1,page_copied_from=CA)—— 与 CA 同为下架前的美国旧文残留,不得当作 BRL 或 CAD 引用,客户可见行标 , as printed 并另起一条 NA: 说明。原散文里「Only the Canadian and Brazilian sites still publish it」已随 BR 建行删除(重复)。③ BE 有页且与 IT 版逐字相同(equivalence.csv#G201267160/BE:IT),€0.31 / €0.63(F-BE-G201267160-7-1 / -7-2)—— 两站同为 EUR,币种本就正确,不加 as printed。④ TR 有页且与 UK 版逐字相同(equivalence.csv#G201267160/TR:UK),但金额写作 £0.40 / £0.90(F-TR-G201267160-7-1 / -7-2)—— 英镑出现在土耳其站,与 CA / BR 的裸 $ 同一形态。⑤ NL 整个 prep 板块不存在(G201267020 本身 404),措辞与 PL / SE 同类但点明板块缺失。库内数据:BR 1,296 笔(末次 2025-10-12)、NL 1,221 笔(2026-09-07)、BE 956 笔(2026-09-07)、TR 与 MX 无记录 —— 见 db/db-applicability.csv#E2。
Internal note — not shown in product⏳ 待 owner 裁定:BR 建行后,References [1] 里既有的 BR G201267160 会被 parse_refs 识别,BR 行的角标现在解析到 BR 页面并渲染 BR ↗ 角标片,而族级备注与本单元原设计写的是「正文角标只解析到 CA」。本次按指示不动 References 的 BR 两行;该冲突已登记 open-questions.md#B2(open),由 owner 决定是保留新行为还是从 References 移除 BR。
