I paid for some ******* from Amazon. They never delivered my cologne. This was back on November the 7th of 2023. They informed me that I would get my refund back in 10 to 15 days once they receive the product back to the warehouse. The refund process would start. Granted. They told me it would only take 48 hours to get the product back to the warehouse. Here it is already close to the end of 2023. I still haven't received my refund from them. They have already lied to me. They told me. They have refunded me my money. I called my bank and they said I haven't received my refund yet. Then they sent me an email and I said. I need to do an incident report. I sent numerous incidents reports. They wouldn't accept that. They wouldn't accept that. I still haven't gotten my refund back. They have already gotten their product back at the warehouse. I was charged for the product or they wouldn't have been shipped. My account wouldn't have taken the money out. I have the transaction showing that they took the money out.Business Response

I am filing a complaint regarding the unjust deactivation of ASIN B0BTJPJQYH, the Biliboo Premium Baby Lounger, which was erroneously flagged for Product Safety concerns. I adhered to all Amazon requirements and submitted the necessary documents, making this deactivation illegal.In addition, I attached two screenshots of where the product is approved and where there isn't any button to submit the documents. Due to a technical issue, my ASIN isn't active. ASIN: B0BTJPJQYH Title: Biliboo Premium Baby Lounger for Newborn, Infant and Toddler - Baby Nest Lounger - Gray Store Owner: ********************** Store Name: Biliboo(*****************************************)I diligently provided the following documents, available on the Seller Central help page (***********************************************************************************************):Test Report ********************* Safety:Issued by an ISO ***** certified laboratory.Official documentation confirming compliance with safety standards, supported by the laboratory's ISO ***** certification for credibility.Comprehensive Test Report:Further substantiates the safety and compliance of the Biliboo baby lounger, providing detailed insights into testing methods and results.User Manual for Biliboo Baby Lounger:Clearly outlines safe and proper product usage, essential for informing customers and ensuring adherence to safety guidelines.Product Registration for Safety Alert or Recall Only:Demonstrates a commitment to promptly address safety concerns, with a structured process for communication in the event of a safety alert or recall.These documents sufficiently demonstrate compliance with safety standards and regulations.

Amazon out of the blue falsely accused us of having a product that "This product has been identified as claiming to be a treatment, cure, or remedy for Diabetes or Diabetic Neuropathy symptoms. Products including dietary supplements, essential oils ,homeopathic remedies and topicals marketed as Diabetes, glucose or sugar treatments, remedies, cures, or similar Diabetes related products are prohibited from listing or sale on Amazon unless they have been approved by the ***"It jumps right from accusing to talking about it like it's a proved thing. We have virtually NOTHING even remotely close to that on the product isting or label, and even have an *** disclaimer at the bottom of the listing for safe keeping. We provided the specific text from DSHEA legislation, and CFR Title 21 which set forth the guidelines, for assurance this was in compliance with *** guidelines. Their response is just a mindless condemnation and judgement without any specifity, any guidance about what was being deemed not ok phrasing and has caused significant injury to my company by means of defamation and fraud because of this. They are not operating lawfully and I want them to be held accountable for this action and our listing left alone.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: the still have not provided at single specific highlight of the text on our product or product description that matches their accusation, and judgement, and now lash out at our detail page.If they are so solid on a text that generates a complaint and action of this aggressive nature towards me as a paying professional seller, then certainly they have solid hard evidence of what the issue is.
All I've gotten back so far are generalized vague references, copy and pasted mindless zombie responses, and no specific text highlights as to what is not ok on the listing.
If they didn't have that already why are we being asked to correct it, when they don't even know what "it", is?
I have been subjected to multiple emails of vicious assault and the product page has been removed despite the fact that there is not a word on any part of it that discusses diabetes or diabetic neuropathy.
It is a malicious hit piece and they aren't providing evidence because they have no evidence and are now trying to cover their tracks and hide their ******* murder of our listing less than a day after Christmas.

I was contacted by amazon because of an issue regarding OFM. This ban on my accounts was occurred because of abusing returns and refund policy. The notice states: "We previously contacted you about multiple violations of our returns and refund policy.

Amazon Prime Member here. I ordered some pc related items in November 24 and received them satisfactorily. However, I had seconds thougths about two items included in the order and wanted to refund them to upgrade to better products. However, when we attempted to file the refund order, the account was wrongfully locked. We immediately proceeded to unlock it, successfully. To our surprise, the order we wanted to file a refund for had entirely disappeared from the account. It was a christmas gift for my children. We've been filing complaints with Amazon Customer Support since then and keep receiving the same answers. "We'll fix it in 72 hours". It's been two weeks since then and still no solution. They have been tossing me around for over a month now. They said my account had suspicious activity and the order was locked due to it. They claimed the refund will be issued and keep lying abou it. I have been emailing them, chatting with their representatives and calling them. It has not been useful. They are pulling my leg at this point. And I am done dealing with them. This is how they treat their prime members. Their service is absolutely horrible. We want to file our refund properly and return the items we don't need, but they are not allowing us to do so! Order numbers were #***-2894356-***5427 and #***-4544559-7641849. The total sum of the buy, pre-taxes was 644,35, around ****** with taxes. All we are asking is the ability to apply for a refund on these orders, so we can get our money back for the items we don't need.Business Response

I placed a $200 order from the company for my upcoming baby shower. I received everything the same day in 3 separate boxes. In one of the boxes there is an item that is to be displayed in a glass case for a baby shower decoration. The glass case arrived broken in several spots. I chat in to Amazon to simply get a replacement nothing else and they refuse to and trying to get my private personal information and holding me hostage with a broken item until its very much seems like a scam. I do not need to provide that personal information for a replacement when I sent them all the pictures they requested of the item being broken. This broken item alone was over $30 not something I should have to eat the cost of and lose my hard earned money. The total cost was about 200 and I had some gift cards so out of my pocket was around 150Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: there is no reason for you to need my private personal information. You are not a loan, Im not asking for money, you are not a home bank etc you have no reason for my driver license, I live in a very small area so therefore barely even use Amazon and now I see why because you all are acting very unprofessional over a broken item that I provided proof of. I will have to dispute the charge with my bank if i have to because Im not paying for a broken item. I have also attached said return/replacement policy from your site.

I never received the refund from Amazon and they have refused to assist me at all. They just keep saying, you got the refund. I am going to file a dispute with my bank if I do not receive this money back. At this point it is ridiculous. I spend a lot of money with Amazon.
