GETIDA pricing: "starting at 25%" is a floor, not a fixed number — model it before you sign
GETIDA's own pricing page states performance-based pricing "starting at 25%" of FBA reimbursements recovered, no monthly subscription, with the first $400 recovered free for new accounts. "Starting at" means the rate can run higher depending on volume and account — confirm the number in writing before you connect an account.
What this looks like across the book we manage
What GETIDA's own pricing page actually says
Read from getida.com/pricing on 21 August 2026: "Free to join. No commitment. No monthly subscription fees. With our performance-based pricing starting at 25%, you pay only when we successfully recover FBA reimbursements on your behalf." Separately: "Pay nothing for the first $400 we recover for you in FBA reimbursements." There is no monthly fee, no setup cost, and no charge if the audit finds nothing recoverable.
The word doing the most work in that sentence is starting. It signals a floor rather than a flat number — contingency rates in this category are commonly banded by account size and recovery volume, which is normal and worth asking about directly rather than assuming the advertised number is what you will actually pay. Get the specific figure for your account in writing before you connect it, the same way you would with any performance-based vendor.
Run the arithmetic before you sign, on any vendor including this one
A contingency fee is only cheap in the abstract; in cash terms it scales with however much money is actually found, and at real recovery volumes that number gets large fast. On $10,000 recovered in a year, 25% is $2,500. On $50,000, it is $12,500. Neither of those figures should surprise you after the fact — the calculator below runs the same math live at whatever monthly recovery volume is realistic for your account, against GETIDA's published rate and the other reimbursement vendors with clear published rates in this category.
What the 25% is actually paying for
The fee covers audit, filing, and the ongoing work of chasing a claim through Amazon's own case system on your behalf — work that otherwise falls to whoever happens to manage Seller Support internally, usually with no dedicated hours set aside for it and no calendar tracking claim windows before they close. GETIDA's Selling Partner Appstore listing means the integration has passed Amazon's own review process, which is a harder fact than any star rating: it does not certify the outcome of any given claim, but it does mean the connection method itself has been vetted. What the rate does not cover is anything outside FBA reimbursement — a size-tier billing error, a suppressed listing, or a Brand Registry attack all sit outside GETIDA's mandate regardless of how much you pay.
How GETIDA's rate compares to the rest of the category
Read from each vendor's own page on 21 August 2026: Seller Investigators (Carbon6, now inside SPS Commerce) takes "a 25% commission only after you've been paid" — effectively the same floor as GETIDA. Refunds Manager charges "25% of whatever reimbursements we recover," billed only once the money is confirmed deposited, and explicitly excludes claims Amazon auto-reimbursed without a filing. DimeTyd Sellers (Threecolts) invoices weekly for "25% of what we recover." TrueOps genuinely undercuts all four at "industry-leading 10% commissions" — the lowest published rate we found in the category, and the fact that most disciplines any claim about being the cheap option here: TrueOps already is.
What Amazon's own rules mean for the number you actually see
Amazon's FBA reimbursement policy, effective 31 March 2025, values pre-order losses at sourcing cost rather than selling price — a materially smaller figure per unit than older case studies describe. Claim windows run 60 to 120 days for customer returns and 60 days for most fulfillment-center issues; the old 18-month window no longer applies. And since 1 November 2024, Amazon proactively reimburses inventory lost in its own warehouses without any claim being filed — the pool a vendor's percentage actually applies to has genuinely shrunk, regardless of which vendor's rate you compare it against.
Where Dr. Shield's pricing differs, and why
We do not publish a flat commission the way GETIDA, TrueOps, Refunds Manager and DimeTyd Sellers do — worth conceding plainly rather than glossing over, since all four are ahead of us on price transparency. The reason is scope: Dr. Shield's case-based pricing covers reimbursement recovery alongside fee disputes, suppressed-listing reinstatement, variation protection, Brand Registry rescue and account-health casework, and that mix varies enough by account that a single flat percentage would misrepresent what most clients actually need. Pricing is set on a call, with the first 30 days free and Orbit included. We are operated by Full Circle, a full-service Amazon management company with $500M+ in managed spend across 100+ brands.
What a reimbursement-only rate misses, in real numbers
The pricing question worth asking alongside "how much does GETIDA charge" is "how much of the problem does that percentage actually cover." Across our own managed accounts, reimbursement recovery since 10 February 2026 totals $803,457 net of $170,047 in reversals, across 53 accounts and 42,096 line items — a genuinely large recoverable pool, and roughly the category a GETIDA-style contingency fee applies to. In the same set of accounts, $286,642 of inventory sat stranded in Amazon's warehouses, unsellable, for reasons no reimbursement audit is built to catch — a listing closed, a listing error, a restricted ASIN. A real dimensional-weight case from our own casework: a unit weighing 1.119 lb, shipped in a 6.77 by 6.38 by 6.06 inch box, was billed at 2.00 lb — an overcharge that repeats on every unit shipped until someone disputes the recorded measurement, not a one-time claim a contingency reimbursement fee would ever touch.
The one question worth asking before the rate matters at all
Ask any reimbursement vendor, GETIDA included: how do you distinguish recoveries you caused from reimbursements Amazon would have issued automatically, and how is that reflected on the invoice? Since Amazon's November 2024 rollout of proactive auto-reimbursement for items lost in its own fulfillment centers, a commission calculated on the total movement in your reimbursements report — rather than on cases the vendor specifically opened, evidenced and pursued — can amount to charging for money Amazon was always going to pay. Refunds Manager states explicitly that it only bills for cases its team filed; it is a fair question to put to GETIDA or any vendor before the percentage rate becomes the thing that decides your invoice.

| Selling Partner Appstore listed | Yes | Not applicable |
Which one you should actually pick
GETIDA's pricing is genuinely simple and low-risk for what it covers — no subscription, no cost if nothing is found, and a $400 free allowance for new accounts. Confirm the actual rate for your account in writing rather than assuming the advertised 25% floor is what you will pay, and weigh it against TrueOps' lower published rate if reimbursement recovery specifically, and nothing beyond it, is the whole job you need done.
Before you compare subscription prices, pull your own search-term report for the last 90 days and total the spend against terms that produced no orders. Across the book above that runs at 48.5% of everything spent. Whatever you buy — a seat, a service, or nothing — that number is the one it has to move, and a cheaper tool nobody has time to drive will not move it.
Common questions
Is GETIDA's 25% negotiable?
The published wording is "starting at 25%," which implies the rate can vary by account and recovery volume rather than being fixed. Ask directly what rate applies to your account size before connecting it, and get the answer in writing.
Does GETIDA charge a monthly fee?
No. GETIDA's own pricing page states no commitment and no monthly subscription fees — the only charge is the performance-based percentage on money actually recovered.
What happens if GETIDA's audit finds nothing to recover?
Nothing is owed. The contingency structure means the account's downside is limited to the time it takes to connect and audit, not a fee for a null result.
Is there a cheaper reimbursement service than GETIDA?
Yes — TrueOps publishes "industry-leading 10% commissions" on its own site, read 21 August 2026, less than half GETIDA's published floor. It is a fair, verifiable comparison and worth checking against your own numbers using the calculator above.
Does GETIDA's rate cover anything beyond reimbursement recovery?
No — the published rate applies to FBA reimbursement recovery specifically. Fee and dimension disputes, suppressed listings, variation protection and Brand Registry casework are outside GETIDA's scope and are typically handled by separate vendors, or by a broader case-management product.
Should I ask GETIDA how it bills auto-reimbursed items?
Yes. Since Amazon began proactively reimbursing items lost in its own fulfillment centers in November 2024, ask directly whether the published percentage applies only to claims the vendor filed, or to the total movement in your reimbursements report regardless of who caused it. Refunds Manager states its exclusion explicitly on its FAQ page; it is a fair question for any recovery vendor, GETIDA included.
Does GETIDA charge for reimbursements Amazon pays automatically?
GETIDA's own pricing page does not address this distinction directly, which is precisely why it is worth asking before you sign rather than assuming the answer. Confirm in writing whether the published percentage applies only to claims GETIDA specifically filed and evidenced, not to the total change in your reimbursements report.
Dr. Shield opens, argues and tracks Amazon cases — reimbursements for lost and damaged inventory, dimensional-weight and size-tier misclassification, suppressed listings, compliance requirements and policy appeals — at the approval level you set. First 30 days free, Orbit included.
