High Order Defect Rate (ODR)
A high Order Defect Rate (ODR) can lead to Amazon account suspensions, listing removals, and revenue loss. If your ODR exceeds Amazon’s acceptable threshold of 1%, your seller account is at risk. At Amazon Sellers Lawyer, we help sellers appeal suspensions, reduce ODR, and implement long-term compliance strategies.
What is Order Defect Rate (ODR)?
Amazon’s ODR measures a seller’s performance based on customer satisfaction. It includes:
- Negative Feedback Rate – Percentage of orders receiving 1- or 2-star reviews.
- A-to-Z Guarantee Claims – Unresolved customer claims impacting order quality.
- Chargeback Rate – Credit card disputes initiated by buyers.
Why High ODR Leads to Account Suspension
Amazon enforces strict performance metrics to maintain customer trust. A high ODR signals poor service and can result in:
Account Deactivation – Amazon may suspend or permanently deactivate your account.
Listing Removals – Products with high defect rates may be delisted.
Lost Sales & Revenue – An inactive account means loss of income and damaged brand reputation.
