      On Tues, 19 DEC, I purchased an e-Amazon gift card (Order #***-7661716-1725805), for myself & to one of my other email addresses. I immediately received an email from Amazon indicating that my acct has been suspected of fraud & has been temp locked. However, this is a legitimate purchase, not fraud. I was instructed to reset my ****************** customer service(svc) to restore my acct. Following the directions, I called customer Service ***** *** was then told to wait 24-hrs to receive an email. The email stated, if the transaction was not fraudulent, contact customer svc. On 20 DEC, I called again & was told there will be a 2d email with a link with forms, once I disconnected the line. 24 Hrs later, I called Amazon to report I have not receive an email w/forms/link; & each day since (over 7x) . Each call to ***** *********** ******* I was given mis-info, false promises, & told there was nothing that could be done but wait another ************************* to restore my Amazon acct. It has been 5 days since my acct has been temp locked /on hold, for making a legitimate purchase. Ive explained 7+ times since this occurred, but have been given the run-around, hung-up on, placed on hold for over 2.5 hrs; only to find out, that theres been no progress made to restore on my acct, since my 1st call on 19 DEC. It is now 120 hours later, yet the issue is no closer to be resolved. While I understand this system in place to protect customers, once I explained that it is indeed a legitimate purchase, I should have received the required documents/links to restore my account in 24 hrs - at most. Due to these Amazon reps ************ and uncaring methods, my children, **************** will not receive gifts for Christmas. Im stationed in Korea *** do not have the option to go to Wal-mart, Marshalls, ***********, etc. In the last 3 yrs (or less), Ive spent over $100,000 on Amazon purchases & have been a member since 2010, & this is my thanks for years of loyalty?

      I am a seller on Amazon.com and have been selling there for 7 years with constant issues with them and their shady business practices. Though, they have and still do withhold payment for two to four weeks or more, this is the first time they have cheated me out of payment all together and completely refuse to pay.______________________________________________This year, I have had 2 instances of fraud, where Amazon.com withheld payments for items that I "sold and were delivered" to buyers on Amazon.com. I have contacted "amazon seller support" multiple times providing proof of delivery to them to release payment to me, but they refuse and provide nonsensicle "canned" or "cut-n-paste" policy excuses that make no sense and are not applicable. There were delivery Issues due to lack of scanning and delay by the **** carrier, that were completely out of Seller's/my control! ________________________________Issue #1. 3/08/2023, Amazon Order ID: *******************, Product Amount: USD $78.84 **** Tracking ID: **********************, Shows: Delivered to buyer's address __________________________________Issue#2. 11/26/2023, Amazon Order ID: *******************, Product Amount: USD $46.16 **** **** Tracking ID: **********************, Shows: Delivered, December 18, 10:51AM, ******************. at buyer's address.______________________________________In both instances, Items were mailed within required handle time. Intial Carrier delivery Issues of lack of timely scanning in packages and missing/delay caused due to ****, completely out of Seller control! Seller mailed item and was delivered to buyer in good faith but was NEVER paid by amazon! Amazon defrauded me!I, an Amazon Seller, sold/mailed items, and were clearly delivered to buyers in good faith but was NEVER paid by amazon! Amazon has defrauded me out of $125, that I demand to be paid!

      I am rejecting this response because: It is obvious that the Amazon reps don't care that they are basing their decisions on faulty information! As I stated multiple times to the imbecile idiots at amazon that all delays in shipping was due to **** issues, completely out of my, the Seller's, control. 

      I have sent in clear proof of deliver to buyer. Amazon must pay! Amazon, are you really going to cheat us, a Church Bookstore out of $125.00???

      We will be happy to report this to our Archdiocese which includes 225 churches and ****** members and ask them to boycott amazon for stealing from a CHURCH!!!

      Twice, I have sent out a product that were received by the buyers and amazon never paid us. That is THEFT!!! ...and will be reported to the Federal authorities!!!

      Hello, I hope this message finds you well. I simply looking to resolve the matter of receiving what I was told, which is a refund from the registry get a loved one receipt broken. I purchase a loved one a gift from their registry, which they received broken (glass containers). I reached out to customer service who advised they would refund the amount. I had my loved one discard the items as the customer service rep did not make it a requirement to return it. I was advised the amount would be refunded in 1 to 2 business days. Its been months now. After many conversations with multiple representatives who have continuously advised that the item has been refunded, I finally received an email confirming the item hadnt been refunded. I have already provided a photo, from which whomever sent it requested a return. Not only was this required to be returned days after the matter was allegedly resolved, the recipient discarded the item as no one wants to pick through shards of broken glass, especially one that was sent as a gift. I love Amazon and the excellent service you all typically provide, however, it did not reflect positively upon the integrity of the company that Im used to. Please complete my refund. I would also appreciate a comparable credit for this multi month long issue Order # ***-5464781-2637829

      Item was purchased and was in new packaging. Received wrong item and looked like it was used. Returned the item and spoke with customer service regarding refund after waiting more than 2 weeks once item has been received. They stated that I need to provide ID to verify my identity when it has nothing to do with my refund.

      On November 16, 2023, I returned 2 Solium security cameras to Amazon via the *** on **************** (I originally purchased 4 at $99 plus tax each). One month later, I still had not received my refund. I attempted to contact Amazon through its online system but kept getting the runaround. I tried customer service and got looped around. I tried help but got looped around. They said that I would receive my refund once the merchandise was returned. I contacted *** who verified that the merchandise had been returned one month ago. I went back to Amazon and got looped around over and over. Finally, I googled their phone number, and waited 30 minutes to speak to "*****", who had a really thick accent and was difficult to understand. I gave him the information, he checked, and assured me that I would get an email within 24 hours that the money had been refunded, I did not. I called again, and spoke with "*****" (who had a thick accent and was difficult to understand) informed me that there were multiple WRITTEN?? requests for the refund, so I would need to verify my identity. I asked him why they could not simply return the money to the same source that paid for it, but he said he could not, and at one point, told me he would have to hang up the phone on me. I received an email a day later, telling me that I had to scan my picture I.D. and the barcode in order to receive me refund. Reluctantly, I did. After waiting again, I received another email telling me that I would have to wait 3 days, and then request a refund yet again. They have my photo, the barcode, and my refund that they did not refund back to the source (credit card) from which the funds originally came.

      After 6 weeks, 3 long calls to Amazon from a phone number that I had to ****** to obtain, and an intrusive request from Amazon that I send them a copy of my driver's license picture plus the barcode, ********************** has finally sent a refund back to the same credit card that was used to originally pay for the purchase.

      DECEMBER 18, 2023, I purchased a Mishimoto 6.7 powerstroke Air to Water intercooler. Upon receiving the item on December 23, 2023, I unboxed the item on video as I had received a string of issues from the Amazon Warehouse store. What was in the box was not an authentic Mishmoto product. The intercooler lacks a serial number on the rear of the part, the company name on top of the part, and its logo to the left, as shown in the first three attached pictures was covered in coolant. The last three are pictures of the product from Amazon's site, which mirrors the pictures on *********'s site. I contacted the customer service number, notifying them of the issue. The representative stated they could do nothing to resolve this issue. Amazon sent an email requesting me to send a copy of my government-issued ID. I called again to speak to another representative about the email I was sent and asked where I could provide a copy of the unboxing video. He would not address the email and stated they did not need the video. The video is linked as well. *************************************************

      I am rejecting this response because:
      This is a violation of my privacy as your company has misused personal information leading to FTC settlements. It is not my responsibility to prove my identity after you have sold me a counterfeit item, additionally it is a violation of your *** policy. 
      Sincerely,
