## What is an Amazon virtual assistant?

An Amazon virtual assistant is a remote assistant who handles the daily administration of an Amazon seller account: creating and fixing listings, managing FBA shipments and reimbursements, opening and chasing cases with Seller Support, monitoring account health and policy notices, responding to buyer messages and reviews within policy, and reporting sales and inventory. At AssistBPO the assistant is an employee of the group working inside the client's Seller Central under user permissions the client controls.

## Deliverables and KPIs

AssistBPO reports 6 measures on the Amazon assistant desk: what lands on your desk, what we count, and how often you see the number.

| Deliverable | KPI we report | Cadence |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Listings buyable | Suppressed and stranded ASINs cleared | Daily, in the end-of-day report |
| Cases resolved | Open cases aged over 7 days, with next action | Weekly |
| FBA shipments | Shipments created and received without discrepancy | Per shipment |
| Reimbursements recovered | Claims filed and paid, by month | Monthly |
| Messages answered | Buyer messages within 24 hours, every day | Daily |
| Account health | Metrics within Amazon's targets, notices actioned same day | Daily check, weekly report |

KPIs are what we measure and report, agreed per engagement in the weekly review. Service-level commitments are set in your agreement, not on this page.

## How does the Amazon assistant desk work?

1. ### Match
A 20-minute discovery call on your marketplaces, catalog size, FBA or FBM mix and the problems you want gone. Within 72 hours we propose a named Amazon assistant with hands-on Seller Central history in your category, plus a trained backup.
2. ### Onboard
You add the assistant as a user in Seller Central with the permissions you choose and share the master catalog, brand assets and supplier details. We audit listings, account health, open cases, FBA inventory and reimbursement history, and agree the rules for pricing, messaging and case escalation. The first week's changes go to you for approval.
3. ### Daily rhythm
The assistant opens with account health, buyer messages, suppressed listings and case updates, then works the queue: listing fixes, FBA shipments, reimbursement claims and reviews. The end-of-day report shows what was fixed, filed and answered, and anything waiting on your decision.
4. ### Weekly review
Twenty minutes with the team lead over the weekly report: sales, buy box share, stock cover, cases open and closed, reimbursements and metrics. Priorities for next week are agreed on the call. Monthly, the team lead scores a sample of listings, messages and cases on the QA scorecard.

These are rate-card starting points. What you pay depends on the hours, the desk and the coverage window, which is what the staffing plan sets. Rates improve as you add assistants. Your staffing plan states the rate for the number of seats you need. [The rate card](https://assistbpo.com/pricing/) carries the other currencies, the add-ons and the six things that move a plan off it.

## How much does an Amazon assistant cost?

Plans start at $400 a month for 40 hours, at $10 an hour, and rates improve as you add assistants. Get a staffing plan within 1 business day.

### What moves the plan

1. Hours a week and whether the desk is dedicated or shared
2. Phones: live answering needs a receptionist profile and a backup
3. Coverage zone: business hours, after-hours, weekends or 24/7
4. Tools and access to set up
5. One person or a pod with a lead

Case study
### [E-commerce Brand Survives Peak Season Support](https://assistbpo.com/case-studies/ecommerce-support-peak/)

A direct-to-consumer brand selling on Shopify did most of its year in six weeks. The rest of the year two people cleared the queue comfortably. In peak season the same two people were answering chat, email, Instagram messages and returns at once, first response times stretched into days, and shipping-delay questions arrived faster than anyone could answer them. Temporary hires had never worked out, because training finished about the time the season did. AssistBPO built a peak-season pod on the support desk: named agents with a team lead, trained in October, live from the start of November and stood down in January. The pod worked inside the brand's own Gorgias help desk using macros written with the in-house team. Tickets were tagged by reason so the operations team could see which problems were worth fixing at the source.

## Frequently asked questions

### How much does an Amazon virtual assistant cost?

Plans depend on hours, desks and coverage. Get a staffing plan within 1 business day. For orientation, managed offshore assistants run $7 to $15 an hour or $640 to $2,400 a month full time, and marketplace freelancers around $13 an hour on Upwork with higher turnover (Wishup and Cherry Assistant cost guides; Zedtreeo, 2026). AssistBPO prices a dedicated assistant per person for a block of hours; Amazon fees and ad spend are yours.

### Is AssistBPO an Amazon agency?

No. We are a staffing division that provides employed assistants who work inside your Seller Central under your permissions. We do not hold your account, take a percentage of sales or claim any status with Amazon. Strategy on pricing, launches and advertising stays with you or your agency; the assistant does the daily work to that strategy.

### How do you access our account safely?

You add the assistant as a user in Seller Central with only the permissions the work needs, such as inventory, orders and messaging, and leave banking and tax settings out. Two-step verification is on, logins are from managed devices, and you can remove the user in a minute. The assistant never shares credentials and never logs in from a personal device.

### Can you handle Seller Support cases and reimbursements?

Yes. Cases are opened with the right evidence the first time, escalated when the reply misses the point and chased until closed. Reimbursement claims for lost, damaged and overcharged FBA inventory are filed within Amazon's windows and tracked to payout. Open cases and claims are listed in the weekly report with the next action.

### What about reviews and buyer messages?

Buyer messages are answered within 24 hours, every business day, using templates you approve and the facts in the order. Review requests are sent only through Amazon's Request a Review button or approved tools, within policy. We never offer incentives for reviews, never contact buyers outside Amazon's rules and report any review that breaks policy for you to decide on.

### Can you manage our Amazon PPC too?

Daily monitoring, negatives, bid rules and weekly ACoS reports sit with the ads assistant service on the marketing desk, and many sellers combine the two with one lead. Listing quality, stock and account health are handled here so the advertising has something worth sending traffic to.

### Do you work across Amazon marketplaces?

Yes: US, Canada, UK, Australia and the EU marketplaces you sell in, from one desk. Each marketplace has its own hours, category rules and VAT or GST notes, which the assistant works to. Listing translations are handled with your approved translator or tool and checked by a person before going live.

### How quickly can you take over?

Most accounts are running within a week: two days for access and audit, two days of shadowing your current process, then the assistant takes the daily queue with your approvals on changes. Catalog clean-ups and reimbursement sweeps are scoped as a block alongside the daily rhythm.

### What is in the weekly Amazon report?

Sales and units by ASIN, buy box share, sessions and conversion, stock cover and inbound shipments, suppressed listings cleared, open cases and reimbursements, account health metrics and a short list of what we suggest next. It goes out every Monday and is the agenda for the weekly review.
