Interactive demo with synthetic data. This environment demonstrates Terra PPC workflows using synthetic advertising, seller-business, financial and economics data. Actions remain inside this demo and are not sent to Amazon or any external advertising or selling account.
Returns
Refunds, returned units, restocking and write-offs per product. A refund is subtracted once, from revenue — never again as a cost.
All information shown in this module is synthetic demo data and does not represent a live Amazon selling account.

| Refunds ÷ Seller Gross Revenue of the same period and product. | Returned units that go back to sellable inventory under the return policy; their cost is recovered. | Unit cost × written-off units: the cost of units that cannot be resold. It is already inside COGS and is not subtracted again. | Terra PPC’s model: the lesser of 20% of the refunded referral fee or $5.00 per unit. | Refunded revenue + refund administration fees − the cost recovered on restocked units. | |||||

Refunded units follow the return policy in event order, so the share restocked matches it to the unit. Write-off cost and net refund impact use the cost of the units on the day of each refund. Ad spend is the product’s advertising in the same period.
Investigations
0 pendingRefund investigations waiting in Business reviews.
No refund investigation is waiting for review.
The automation cycle (Run Evaluation or a scheduled cycle) raises a refund investigation when an advertised product with at least $50.00 of ad spend over the latest 30 days reaches the review rate: refunds at or above 5.0% of its Seller Gross Revenue. It is a review item for a person — it never pauses ads or changes a bid.
Over the latest 30 days, no advertised product meets both conditions.

Return-adjusted modeled margin 30.2%; break-even ACoS 39.1% before and 39.8% after the return adjustments. Saving changes the recovered cost everywhere returns are modeled; the change is logged and can be undone in the Change Log.
How returns are counted
- Refunds come from the synthetic refund events of the period (Finance). Modeled profit subtracts each refund once, from Seller Gross Revenue; it is never subtracted again as a cost.
- Returned units are the units on those refund events. The return policy sends 70% of them back to sellable inventory — their cost is recovered — and writes off the rest: their cost was already counted in COGS when they sold, so nothing new is subtracted.
- Refund administration fee (Terra PPC’s deterministic model): the lesser of 20% of the refunded referral fee or $5.00 per unit, in the marketplace currency.
- Refund rate = refunds ÷ Seller Gross Revenue of the same period. Products at or above the review rate (5.0%) are flagged “Above review rate” for the selected period; the automation cycle reads the latest 30 days.
- The return-adjusted view adds back the cost recovered on restocked units and subtracts the refund administration fees. Profitability shows modeled net profit before these adjustments. Modeled values, not GAAP profit or taxable income.
