Ive been an Amazon customer for years. Recently I order a coat and returned the item as soon as I received it because the color was not the same color in the picture. I mailed it back using their label on 1/19 and they received the item on 1/22. When I went to follow up on my refund(I used my Amazon prime card) they said they need to confirm my identity and need to provide government issue ID. I have never been ask this before nor have Amazon communicated that with their customer that was apart of the process. I called customer service and they said its their new policy. I provide a copy of my drivers license but I redacted my ** license number and DOB because of recent identity fraud. Im still waiting for my refund even after I provide proof. This seems like a scam because its their India office handling customer service. I went online to research and only found complaints nothing legal issued from amazonBusiness Response

I understand your concern about the refund for your return.
In most cases, after the carrier has received your return package, returns are processed by Amazon in 30 days. In some situations, it may take longer. This additional time allows our ************** to find and process the item.

On Jan. 11th I ordered a Bissell Steam Mop from Amazon for a total price of $111.74. I received the item on Jan. 12th. On Jan. 14th, I tried to use the mop and experienced significant leaking. Upon further inspection, I realized that the water chamber was shattered at some point during transport either to or from Amazon, before delivery to my home. I immediately reported the defect on my Amazon account and was prompted to return the item. I returned the item in full packaging the same day as instructed, and received confirmation that the item was successfully returned on January 16th. The item tracking initially listed January 24th as the latest refund processing date. As of today, the same tracking system now reads that the refund will be processed by February 3rd and completed by February 14th.Prior to today, I spoke with customer service via chat on two separate occasions (Jan 18th and Jan. 22nd) asking for an expedited refund since I had to purchase a new mop from somewhere else. Both times, I was told a refund would be issued within 3-5 business days from receipt. With today being the 5th business day, I requested a call from the customer service team. They claim the item has not yet been received and when I told them I had confirmation it was received on the 16th, he said he would check with the processing team for an update. He put me on hold and hung up. I did not receive a call back.Return an item to a store would never take this long and I cannot wait until February for a refund of a broken and defunct item that I returned on January 14th, less than 48 hours after delivery.Business Response

Ten months ago (March 2024) I pre-ordered a copy of a book called Onyx Storm on Amazon for delivery on Jan 21, 2025. It is now Jan 23 and the book has still not arrived. I chatted with Amazon support on the Amazon app for more than 1 hour (!) and they could not replace the book for me, even though I see it is available for order on amazon.com. They issued a refund, which I repeatedly stated I DO NOT WANT as the book is now more expensive than it was when I previously ordered it, and it's not my fault that Amazon messed this up. They also issued the refund to an Amazon gift card instead of to the original payment method, which is unacceptable to me.The customer service experience was BEYOND inept and so frustrating. I was transferred to like 10 different agents, they kept asking the same questions, and not a single one solved my problem. I am so angry with Amazon. How can it be this difficult???Business Response

Hello,
I am ******** from Amazon.com. I'm writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I've provided the BBB with a copy of this message.
Thank you for writing back to us using your registered email id. I appreciate it.
Upon checking on the order details, I see the replacement option was not available hence a refund was issued. This order was paid using your gift card balance on the account hence the only option to refund to gift card balance (the source).
To help you on this, I've added additional balance of $21.54 (equal to order value) to your gift card balance on the account. This will be available to use in next 2-24 hrs. I request you to please reorder that book and you may use this balance and make the payment for the difference.
I hope this will cover the difference for the book (if you reorder now).
I appreciate your understanding and patience.

I am rejecting this response because: Amazon declined to replace the item that they failed to deliver to me, but rather put work back on me to handle the issue, after I already spent 90 minutes dealing with their completely unhelpful customer service about this last week. They are also only giving a very short timeframe in which I can reorder the book with a gift card. The whole handling of this situation is so incredibly poor.

Again, an order is late. This is becoming the norm. I contacted customer service and received the usual answer; it should be there in 5 days and if not you can cancel. We will then issue a refund upon return. The issue is, it is up to me to get the item to an *** store and this is not easy for me. Neither is trying to catch the driver to refuse.

On January 06, 2025, I submitted an order for a XL Grunt Style T-Shirt (order # ***-1512025-4604231). For some reason, either because of Grunt Style or Amazon, the order sat without anything happening until January 20, 2025. The order sat so long in a stagnant status there became a problem with my payment method, which was declined. I received an email from Amazon about the payment being declined on January 20, 2025. From the Amazon email, I was given a link to update my payment method which I did. The new payment method now shows on the original order dated January 06, 2025, but the package from Grunt Style never shipped. From tracking on the Amazon email, it shows "ordered", but nothing has happened. I submitted a complaint with Amazon, but they have done nothing.Business Response

Greetings!I am writing to formally address the recent actions taken regarding my seller account and to express my concern about the inconsistencies in your handling of my case. ***** has taken away my opportunity to appeal, violating the Amazon Services Business Solutions ************ per your communication in August 2024, I was explicitly instructed to submit a Plan of Action in order to facilitate the reinstatement of my account. I complied with this request and submitted multiple appeals, including the necessary documentation and a comprehensive Plan of Action, yet none of my submissions have been reviewed or addressed in any meaningful ****** is extremely concerning that, despite my adherence to your stated procedures, I received no response or acknowledgment of my appeals. Moreover, your recent action of removing my right to appeal by revoking the appeal button is not only unprecedented but also directly contradicts your prior notification, which clearly stated that I should provide a Plan of Action to initiate the account reinstatement process.This action effectively denies me the right to a fair review and due process, which I am entitled to under Amazons own policies. As a seller, I am entitled to have my appeals properly considered and a fair opportunity to rectify any issues or misunderstandings. The current handling of my case appears to be in violation of these rights, and I request that my appeals be thoroughly reviewed in accordance with Amazons established policies.Amazon refusal to review my submissions and the abrupt revocation of my appeal rights constitute a failure to provide adequate notice and transparency, as outlined in Amazons Guidelines. This is a breach of the principles of fairness and due process that should govern interactions with your sellers.I kindly request that you reconsider your position, restore my ability to appeal and ensure that my account is reviewed in accordance with Amazons stated procedures.

On January 7, they claimed the package hadnt arrived, despite **** tracking clearly showing it was delivered on December 30.Since then, Ive contacted Amazon customer service multiple times and provided: The **** tracking information confirming delivery, A photo of the defective product as it arrived, Screenshots of my communication with the seller and Amazon.Despite all this evidence, my refund request has been denied twice.

I am filing this complaint due to an issue I have experienced with Amazon, in which they have been withholding my earned funds from sales made on the platform. Amazon claims an unequivocally false reason for withholding my money, stating that I am "engaging in deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, including the sale of inauthentic items." This issue has been ongoing since November 2024. To address Amazons concerns, I have provided substantial evidence, including my ID, passport, bank statements, and invoices/proof of purchases from legitimate suppliers to show that the items I am selling are genuine. Despite this, Amazon continues to reject this evidence without explanation or valid reasoning. Currently, Amazon owes me over $1,200, which I have been waiting for nearly three months to receive. Additionally, Amazon has charged me numerous, seemingly arbitrary fees, such as small charges ranging from $3 to $50, which are listed simply as "other" or "adjustment," with no further explanation. Also exorbitant fba removal fees for EXPIRED ITEMS I SENT ALMOST A YEAR AGO AND DID NOT REQUEST TO BE SENT BACK! Amazon has also continued to charge me FBA storage fees for inventory that remains in their warehouses, while simultaneously deactivating my selling ********** is both illogical and unfair for Amazon to charge me fees for inventory I cannot sell due to the deactivation of my account. As a result of this situation, I am requesting that Amazon pay me the money I am owed, plus interest, for the lost income, the unnecessary fees they have charged me, and the time I have spent waiting for resolution. I would appreciate a thorough review of this matter and a response outlining how Amazon plans to resolve this situation. Thank you for your attention to this complaint.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because Amazon has given no sufficient reasoning and evidence as to how anything I've done has been "illegal" or "counterfeit." They have purposefully given me the run around and this lame excuse each time so they can purposefully withhold paying me my own money! I have uploaded my ID, passport, purchase receipts, bank statements! What more can one do to show the legitimacy of their business practices on amazon? This treatment has been absolutely deplorable and i will continue to plan to take legal action if my money is not return back to me!

Greetings!My urgent request is related to the unjustified debiting of funds from my seller account on **********************. My funds were improperly debited and as of now, my account is active, perfectly functional and there are no violations that would give Amazon the right to debit my account. On January 14, 2025, my seller account was reinstated (see the enclosed notification titled Account reactivation). However, on August 29, 2024, two transactions were debited from my account balance, in the amounts of $3,427.73 and $810.58 (Transactions report is attached). I did not submit any withdrawal requests, as I was in the process of reactivating my account, including completing video *************** the time the funds were debited, my account was deactivated, which rules out any possibility that these transactions were related to advertising fees. As can be verified, the transaction type is listed as "other."The funds available at the time of account deactivation are rightfully mine, as they were earned through the sale of goods. The account is now active, as I have successfully demonstrated the legality of my business, the authenticity of the products I sell, and the necessary permissions to do so.I kindly request that you review these transactions and return the funds that were unjustly debited from my account.Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.Sincerely, ******** ********Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I submitted a formal appeal to the email address provided by Amazon; however, I have yet to receive any response, acknowledgment, or update regarding my case. My matter has been under review for an extended period, yet during this time, I have not received a definitive response or any updated information. Furthermore, I have not been informed of the current status of my case or whether it is being actively considered.Amazon has erroneously debited funds from my account. While my account remains active and operational, the funds in question were intended for business development purposes, including the purchase of goods, payment for delivery services, and other related business expenses, rather than being unjustifiably withdrawn by Amazon.

I am rejecting this response because:The videos were presented as being about EMS,Fire and Police,there was no mention that they were full of homosexual themes,and situations,which makes it false advertising.I was dissappointed and disgusted by their content,and have deleted them from my account,and feel my money should be refunded.There is also the issue of Amazon deleting my negative review about the series,and more troubling still,Amazon denying me my 1st ammendment right by revoking my right to post anymore reviews. Amazon's community guidelines policy cannot take away a customers 1st ammendment right to freedom of speech,and that is what they did when they revoked my right to post ********** review voiced my disgust with the blatant homosexuality in the series,and contained a Bible verse,Leviticus 18:22."thou shall not lie with a man as one lies with a woman,that is abomination".Religious freedom,as well as freedom of speech are protected under the 1st ammendment,and federal law. I am requesting a full refund,and that Amazon restore my 1st ammendment rights,under the constitution,by restoring my ability to post reviews.

I am rejecting this response because: Amazon was generous in refunding the cost of the videos,which I do appreciate.The more serious issue,however has not been addressed,or corrected. Amazon did not simply delete the review I posted,which would have been reasonable,they also disabled my accounts ability to post any future reviews,in essence,denying me my 1st ammendment right to freedom of speech,which is not reasonable,or legal. Amazon needs to restore my ability to post reviews,and my 1st ammendment rights. Amazon cannot enforce "policies" that deny 1st ammendment rights,or violate federal civil rights laws. My review had a Bible verse in it,which is another right covered under the 1st ammendment "freedom of religion". I hope that Amazon will reconsider and rescind its rash decision,so that this will not become a more serious legal issue moving forward.
