vsRefund Hawk

Refund Hawk files your claims for an unpublished commission. Dragon Refunds publishes its price: file free yourself, or 15% managed.

Refund Hawk is a full-service recovery agency — a US-based team that manually audits and files cases for Amazon 3P sellers and 1P vendors, plus TikTok Shop and retail deductions. It charges a commission only on what it recovers, but the rate is not published — you find out after the audit call. Dragon Refunds is a transparent reimbursement platform: it pinpoints the source of every claim, lets you file it yourself for free, or hands it off for a flat, published 15%. Here is an honest, side-by-side breakdown.

The TL;DR

Choose Refund Hawk if

Choose Refund Hawk if you also need 1P vendor recovery — chargebacks, shortages, retail deductions — or TikTok Shop, and you are comfortable with a commission rate that is quoted after a call rather than published on the site.

Choose Dragon Refunds if

Choose Dragon Refunds if FBA reimbursements are the point: see exactly where every dollar came from, keep the option to file yourself for free, and pay a flat, published 15% — no audit call required to learn the price.

Where Refund Hawk wins

We're not pretending Refund Hawk is a bad service. Here's where it's genuinely a fit.

1P vendor and retail recovery

Refund Hawk goes where most FBA tools do not: Amazon 1P vendor chargebacks and shortages, plus retail deductions at Walmart and Target and TikTok Shop recovery. If you sell 1P or across channels, that breadth is genuinely theirs.

A real, US-based human team

Their pitch is a 100% U.S.-based team of analysts and account specialists who manually audit and submit every case inside Amazon's terms of service — a careful, human approach on messy claims that need documentation.

Honest no-win, no-fee structure

No subscription, no upfront cost — "only pay if we win." You owe a commission only after the money is back in your account, which keeps their incentives aligned with yours.

Fast turnaround on the audit

They advertise completing the initial account audit within 24 hours of connecting, backed by an agency pedigree (associated with the Pirawna Amazon agency and Caldicot Capital).

Where Dragon Refunds wins

The reasons sellers switch.

A published price, not a quote

Refund Hawk's commission is not on their website — you learn the rate after the audit call. Dragon Refunds' price is public and flat: file it yourself free and keep 100%, or 15% managed. You can calculate your cost before you connect.

File it yourself and keep 100%

Refund Hawk files everything and takes its cut of all of it. Dragon Refunds has a free tier: it finds the money and hands you a step-by-step SOP so you can file the easy claims through Seller Central yourself and keep every dollar.

You see where every dollar came from

Refund Hawk gives you a reporting dashboard of recoveries. Dragon Refunds itemizes the cause of every claim — the exact lost shipment, damaged unit, dimension mismatch, or COGS error — and keeps the full found → filed → paid → denied ledger visible.

Recovers COGS & sourcing-cost errors

Refund Hawk's 3P scope covers the standard categories — lost and damaged inventory, unreturned refunds, inbound errors, fee miscalculations. Dragon Refunds also catches COGS / sourcing-cost errors, where Amazon reimburses lost units below their true value.

Audit in ~2 minutes, no call required

Refund Hawk's free audit starts with booking a call with their team. Dragon Refunds connects read-only through Amazon's official SP-API and shows your audit results in about two minutes — self-serve, no meeting on your calendar.
