I purchased a Motherboard on Amazon.com on October 10th 2023, when I received the package what I noticed was inside the box was a BOOK (You can see in the pictures), not the Motherboard I purchased from them. I proceed to request a refund so they requested me to return the exact item I received (which I did) and expect the refund after they received (they received it on October 30th 2023). Today I request a chat with customer service on ******************** and after explaining the lady she told me that due to abnormal activity in my account I need to send them and ID of me so they can "verify" I'm the real owner of the account and they can see if I will receive the refund if everything is clear.This is an awful situation as they can't just return me the money I have pay them for something I never received.Business Response

Date of the transaction is December 17 2023. Payed amount is around $314.00 I have been purchasing expensive PC Parts from Amazon. All have required a one time passcode in order to be handed over to me which makes sense. This item though I didn't receive a one time passcode for it and they stated it was delivered on the 20th of December when I have not received it. They made me file a Police report in order to process my refund and they are going to take me in loopholes.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: They are asking me to provide pictures of the police report which I have already provided to you guys. Not to worry though I sent it to them as well. I am asking for a refund because I have not received the item I ordered. It shouldn't be this complicated to receive a refund. This is tiring.

I am writing to file a complaint with Amazon regarding the unfair and illegal suspension of my seller account. My name is ************, I am an Amazon seller who experienced severe disruption to my business due to an unfair video verification process.On September 15, my Amazon seller account was suddenly blocked without a valid reason. The actions taken by Amazon resulted in a complete halt to my business activities on the platform. In addition, Amazon blocked all funds in the account. ********************** stated that my store failed the video verification process, which resulted in my account being suspended. However, the process itself lacked transparency and I was not provided with clear instructions or specific reasons for failure. I was not even allowed to undergo repeated video verification. Throughout this entire ordeal, I experienced a lack of effective communication from Amazon regarding why video verification was failing. The responses I received were vague and did not provide specific details on how I could correct the situation. The sudden suspension of my account without a fair and transparent investigation constitutes illegal and unfair action on Amazon's part. This caused serious financial and reputational damage to my business.Request Amazon to immediately release my seller account and the funds in my seller account, allowing me to resume normal business activities.Request clear information from Amazon about the specific reasons why video verification fails and the steps required to resolve the issue.Demand the return of all funds in my account blocked due to illegal blocking of my account.Advocate for a more transparent and understandable video verification process to prevent similar issues for other merchants in the future.I request your intervention to resolve this complaint and facilitate a fair resolution of the dispute with Amazon. I appreciate your prompt attention to this issue and your assistance in seeking justice.Thank you.Business Response

Complaint: 21046921
I am rejecting this response because:
Recently, our Amazon seller account was deactivated, and we have been experiencing challenges in resolving this matter through standard channels. We consistently receive standard responses from Amazon, asserting that they do not have enough information to reactivate my account. And they automotically denied all my appeals so I haven`t even have the opportunity to provide the evidences.
Our primary concern is the lack of specificity in the responses received, making it difficult for us to understand the exact nature of the issue and how to rectify it. Despite our repeated attempts to appeal and provide evidence, we have not been able to achieve a satisfactory resolution.
In light of these challenges, we would like to request an alternative method of verification, specifically video verification. We believe that a video verification process would not only allow us to present our case more comprehensively but also provide a more transparent and secure means of resolving the matter.
We have been an active seller on Amazon and our commitment to providing excellent products and services to our customers has been unwavering. The sudden account deactivation has not only disrupted our business operations but has also created significant financial and reputational concerns.
We kindly request your assistance in investigating this matter and facilitating a fair and transparent resolution process. The video verification is a standard practice, we ask you to urge Amazon to consider implementing.
We appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your guidance in resolving this issue promptly. If additional information or documentation is required, we are prepared to provide whatever is necessary to support our case.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

I sent back the wrong item item to Amazon by mixing up the labels. I called them as soon as I knew about the mix up. They told me that if the item received wasn't the expected item, it would be returned back to me within 6 weeks. I waited, but did not receive my item back. I called and they told me they received the item on 10/26. I was told they would send an email to which I was to reply by providing my Government ID and then to call them vack after 3 days. I did so. When I called back I got the run around. ******* kept ******** returned it with my own label. I told her it was an AMAZON label, and she continued to talk over me, and then hung up on me. I called again and the 1st rep understood my issue and transferred me to another agent to further assist. That agent confirmed receipt of my item when I provided the tracking ID, then the line disconnected. I have spent in excess of 3 hours on 3 phone calls with no resolution...and? They now have my driver's license.Business Response

I have an Amazon Store Card that at one point had a $4000 limit. I hadnt used it in quite some time. I was in Virginia for work and was ordering a couple things to the hotel I was staying at. I was unaware that my limit was reduced to about $1000. A couple things I had ordered came, but I had then tried to order stuff that was above my credit limit - because again, I didnt realize they reduced my limit. My order kept getting cancelled and I didnt know why so I kept trying to order my items again and again. My account then became locked because they thought there were some suspicions of fraud- which I understand. They wanted me to try and submit info to prove my identity. After that, my account still remained locked. I have tried finding ways to get a hold of them to talk to someone but cant find anything. *** tried sending emails explaining my situation to the no-reply email addresses they have in hopes that someone would read them. I tried logging in today to my account and it says it was deactivated/deleted. I just want my account back. I like buying stuff from Amazon and I have also bought movies and shows on Amazon prime. I am now back in **** and moved into a new apartment - so this address isnt associated with my account. But I just want my stuff back. Please, any help would be deeply appreciatedBusiness Response

On December 17th I realized I was unable to access my Amazon account, despite several attempts it said my credentials were incorrect. I checked my emails for any email from Amazon thinking maybe there was an issue, no emails. I was concerned and checked my bank account and sure enough, there was a charge for ****** pending on my account. I immediately reached out to Amazon and this is where the nightmare begins. While they did confirm to me that my account was accessed and changes were made and orders placed, they have yet to provide me a refund to these fraudulent orders, despite acknowledging they were not authorized by me. I have called daily for the past 5 days and have received zero resolution. They do keep sending me emails asking me to change my password, which Ive done now 3 times.Customer Answer

On December 22nd, I received an email from Amazon claiming they believe an unauthorized party accessed my account. This was several days AFTER I contacted them with concerns my account was compromised after I could not access my account. I was the one that reached out to them, they sent this email acting as they discovered this and what I should be watching out for. Additionally, they state that no refunds for any unauthorized charges will be coming from Amazon. So despite several customer service reps saying my account was hacked, confirming an address was added that did not belong to me, and confirming unauthorized charges were made- they are claiming they wont refund me.Business Response

Hello,I am reaching about orders:ORDER # ***-6345680-6906622 ORDER # ***-1267934-5763425 I ordered two physical games in the same order. After placing the order it got divided into two digital orders. I know for sure that I ordered physical items for two reasons: 1. I saw the message: "Shipping fees applies to this item" at Checkout- Digital items do not incur shipping fees, only physical items might have shipping fees associated with them.2. I checked if I can order the digital version of the items, and there is a region restriction- Meaning that even if I wanted to order the items digitally, I wouldn't be able to. I am from ******, and I also verified the address on the invoice to ensure that the business got valid information for the orders.The business' system swapped the items that I ordered.On top of that, I also checked if the Geographical restriction can be bypassed with VPN, but it seems like the restriction is related to the billing address.

Hello,I am rejecting your solution.
Your team sent me an email confirming the cancellation of the orders and a full refund on the orders. After not receiving the refund, I contacted the Executive Relations team which acknowledged the information was shared with me, but still didnt issued my refund.
Spreading false information and misleading customers is unprofessional and unacceptable.
I ended my Prime membership, closed my account and filed a dispute with the bank. According to its outcome I may file small claims as well.

I am rejecting this response because:Amazon responded by saying they dont know which order and referred me to their website which is unacceptable. Nothing on their site will resolve this issue. Someone at Amazon needs to take responsibility and refund me for the items not received. Order 113-4341845-1050609. I have spoken to 4 representatives at Amazon and cant get this refunded. How is this acceptable as a consumer?
Sincerely,

Hello,
Thank you for writing back to us.
Were sorry to hear that you havent received your items from order#***-4341845-1050609.
It's very important to us that our customers receive the products they purchase from Amazon. We appreciate your business and regret that these items haven't been delivered to you. Shipments that aren't received are inconvenient for you and costly for Amazon.
Based on our investigation and your statements, it seems that the item has been stolen by a third party and we urge you to contact your local police department to report the theft of the parcel. To assist in obtaining a Police Report , we recommend that you provide a copy of the email that we will send to you to the police to help explain what has happened. We'll happily cooperate with the police as part of any investigation.
If the issue isn't resolved after contacting local law enforcement and the carrier, please contact us back during the business hours of the related police department with a link to access your Police Report , or a PDF/Image file of the Police Report. There are multiple ways to file a Police Report. Check with your local authorities for ways to file a report. Note that we will not be able to offer support on this delivery after [delivery date + 60 days]. Please ensure to get a Police Report and contact back before this time
In order for us to validate your Police Report , it must be reported in the local jurisdiction (city, county, municipal) in which the package was reported delivered, and include the following:
- The delivery address regarding this incident.
- The items were delivered according to the carrier tracking.
- The report was created for stolen items/theft/larceny/incorrect delivery or similar crime.
- The date the report was created.
- The name of the police department.
Only one Police Report is needed for all orders that are part of the same shipment. A separate Police Report is needed for orders delivered in different shipments.
Thank you for your understanding.
Regards,

I apologize for the delay. I received a refund for the items ONLY. I was not refunded the tax Amazon charged me or any delivery fees. This appears to be fraudulent practices. The charged me tax and delivery and a refund is required.
