What it means

QA (Quality Assurance) is the process of ensuring product quality through inspections and tests before shipment. A robust QA process reduces defective returns and improves seller ratings. Amazon measures seller quality and can take corrective action if QA standards are not met. Sellers should conduct sample QA checks or engage external QC partners at production facilities.
