Refund-Aware Restock Decisions with Grok Bot and Sellerboard
Check which best-sellers refunds make unprofitable before you reorder
“he bought 1 instead of 5”

Copy-paste prompt
Using my connected Amazon data and Sellerboard, look at the last 6 months for every ASIN. Build a table: units sold, revenue, refund count, refund rate, Amazon fees, COGS (from Sellerboard) and net profit. Flag ASINs with high sales but a high refund rate and little or no profit. Then tell me which flagged ASINs are back in stock or due for a reorder, and for each one whether it looks worth replenishing, showing the numbers. If COGS is missing, write 'unknown' instead of guessing. Don't place or change any orders.
The source didn't publish its exact prompt. We wrote this starter so you can try the same workflow. Replace anything in [brackets].
What they did
The seller connected Grok Bot to Amazon's API and added it as a user in Sellerboard with its own email address. He had it analyze the last 6 months of data to find ASINs with high sales volume but also high refund rates and little to no actual profit, cross-checking Amazon's data against Sellerboard's. It put about 35 ASINs into a table.
How it went
5 of those ASINs were back in stock and he was about to replenish all of them. He reports only 1 of the 5 was actually worth replenishing, so he bought 1 instead of 5.

Worth knowing
In a reply he explains why he used both sources: Amazon's data has refunds and fees but no cost of goods or profit, so Sellerboard's COGS is what makes the profit check work. He shared no refund or profit thresholds, prompt, or dollar savings.
