      I had created an amazon account and put a **** gift card on the account. It was then locked due to odd payment activity. I submitted documents for the account, but submitted the wrong ones for another one of my personal payment methods that I thought was on the account, but wasnt. Now I do not have the ability to submit documents from the website, so I submit them through email. Every time I submit them they include the same message either one saying I must submit it through the website, or that they reviewed my information and I did not provide enough. I have went to customer service so many times and so many associates said that they will help me reinstate my account, but in the first two weeks I received no responses from amazon regarding an account specialist taking a look at my documents even though they said they would reply within 24 to ****************************************************************** 24, but it has been days. My amazon accounts related to the one on hold are now also on hold. They had a total gift card balance of $350+ which I now lost due to amazon not caring about me trying to reinstate my account. I provided the details of a web page of the card, previous amazon packages with my card in hand next to them showing my name and shipping address, past transactions on the card, and a receipt of my ID. ********************** is proposing no help in getting my account back, and I am not willing to send identification documents over the internet because I do not find it safe to do so due to data breaches and things as such. I am losing my hard earned money because amazon is choosing to ignore my complaints. The account email is ************************ and the other on hold accounts due to this account being on hold with balances are ************************* ******************************* and ************************ Here are my supporting documents attached to this. If I can get this fakekolonya2 account reinstated, then I can get the others as well. Thanks.

      I ordered a couch from Amazon, in which Amazon is also when you try to contact the seller they are acting on behalf of the seller. I never received the couch, but received one part of the couch, which was an ottoman and the ottoman thats only thing that came and was delivered to my house. *** sends a picture I have proof that only one box came, but because Amazon marked my entire order is delivered theyre telling me I have to call the police get a police report and claim and show them that somebody mustve sold in the item from my house because the *** label says that all of it was delivered and thats how they marked it on my account. I bought a three piece sectional plus an ottoman total four items and the *** shipping label shows that the seller only put 28 pounds on it. The police department came to my house and they said the *** label says 28 pounds I call *** they said all it says is 28 pounds but Amazon **************** is horrendous and they refuse to listen to me and they tell me we wont help you unless you file police report. We won dates times the criminal investigation where you live Into adjacent to the police department I called and refused to listen to what I said and asked them to do one thing and reach out to the shipping area and look at the shipping weight refused. I am now out several thousand dollars I have to fight them on this and it gets even worse that nobody anywhere in the days that Ive been sending hours countless hours. I go online to the shop that you cant even write to because Amazon represents them. There is another complaint from another client only receiving the ottoman and asking , also where the heck is my couch? I am begging for help and reporting this because nobodys responding to me except for follow the police report and hanging up the phone on me. I have written to the president and sent in some more information to returns. I showed them proof of the box that *** sent because *** takes pictures

      I have made some purchases through Amazon over the last year, recently they have sent me out of 8 purchases almost all had to be returned and they told me to throw it away. Well now they want me to give them my ID to get a return. They are requesting private information on a personal account I have had for years. They owe me over 60$ in returns are are refusing to give it back. This isn't even including the 200$ they gave me a 1 year warranty and then canceled it along with many others with out telling anyone. And when the item broke within 6 months I was told oh well. Not our problem

      I'm not sure what's happened with Amazon. I recently purchased a $30 shampoo, which I have purchased previously from them (at least 4 other times). This time the product smelled bad and nothing like the normal formula. I contacted Amazon for a refund or replacement, and they refused (even though it was within the return window). They said that I was required to submit a photo ID, at the very least (and additional evidence might be required). This is completely absurd. I have been an Amazon customer for 8 years. And this has never, EVER, been a policy. At this point I'm not sure if this is a scam to steal my identity, or what. But I am simply requesting a refund for a defective item. That's it. My Amazon account is under the email: *******************

I decided to return the hair and went to *** and gave them the code amazon provided me with. A few days later i realized i havent gotten my refund and i call amazon and they are telling me that i need to provide a photo ID due to suspicious activity on my account. I had no idea they were asking me for this further information and i wouldnt have known until i had to reach out to them. They are refusing to give me my money back even though i returned ALL the items back. I even contacted costumer support and they were extremely rude and telling me that it is not their problem that it is mine and i should just send the *** I do not trust a company that is requesting an ID especially when i have not done it before.

      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.

      I understand your hesitation with regard to submitting your ID for verification. I see our team have noticed abnormal activity on your account hence they needed to verify ID before any action.

      While we are unable to process a refund manually without the verification of your ID, you can still receive a refund by waiting for your return to be scanned/processed at our **************.

      Please note: after the carrier has received your item, it can take up to two weeks for us to receive and process your return. We typically process returns within 3-5 business days after the carrier delivers the item to our ************** but certain items can take up to 30 days.

      As soon as your return is processed, we request a refund to your payment method and send you an email confirmation. If you don't hear from our ************** within 30 days from the time of return, please contact us through chat or call so we can find out what happened and help you further.

      This is in regard to Order number:111-7235595-13634012 item G Gradual Women's 3" High ****************** Shorts with Pockets Quick Dry Swimsuit Bottoms Bathing Suit for Women with Liner. I returned these shorts through *** on 9/26/2023. I have had many chat conversations and 2 phone calls regarding the return of these shorts dating from Nov. 6, 2023, through Dec. 10, 2023. I have returned many items to Amazon but for whatever reason for this item only, Amazon is wanting ** verification for me to receive a refund for this item. I have tried three times to upload my **. The one time the system told me to check back in 3 days. After 3 days, I was informed they could not verify me through the ** and to do it again. I tried again and the system stated, sorry we couldn't verify your **. So, I went to get another ** and the session expired and wouldn't let me do it again through the link Amazon sent me. After that no matter how many times I tried, when clicking on the link it stated, Sorry, something went wrong on our end." I contacted Amazon numerous times through chat and made 2 phone calls. The links that were sent would state, "Sorry, something went wrong on our end" or the customer service person would not send me a new link. The last chat conversation I had with Amazon customer service was on Dec. 10, 2023, and that person stated it showed I returned the item on Oct. 2, 2023. But they still want my ** and will not refund me the $27.81. I have tried and tried to do my part with the **, but it has not worked, and Amazon is still holding onto my money.

      Hello,

      Amazon reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, terminate customer rights to use *******************************************, remove or edit content, or cancel orders at its sole discretion.

      We removed this customers access to their buyer account on our site. We took this action because an investigation of their account indicated that the customers buyer account violated our terms and conditions.

      Due to the proprietary nature of our business, we do not provide details on our investigation methods.

      We notified the customer of this decision by email on 18 December, 2023.

      Sincerely,

      ******

      I purchased an item from Amazon.com order number 114-2379582-6277862 The item Vinyl Record Outer Sleeves for 12" LPs, 3 mils Thick, Premium Arrived damaged.Creased and crumpled. Unusable. Half of them are damaged.I reached out to Amazon.com to get a refund for 50% of my purchase price and I was told I would have to provide a copy of my ID to get any assistance because they have flagged me for suspicious behavior. I have no suspicious behavior, I have not abused any return system, and Amazon has no right to ask me for my ID card. This is unnecessary information and they have no legal right to obtain that information from me. I want 1. A refund of 50% of the item purchase price because half the item arrived damaged as shown in my photos. I also want 2. Any flag to be removed from my Amazon account. I have never abused any return policy, I am an individual consumer who spends thousands of dollars every year with Amazon.com I am not a scammer or an abuser. I want any flags or blockages removed from my account permanently and I do not want to be promoted to provide a copy of my ID again. ********************** has no right to request a copy of my ID as this is unnecessary information for any business there is no need to verify me with an ID, ******************** does not need to know my legal full name, DOB, address, heigh, weight, gender, have a photo of me on file, for any reason.

      Hello *******,

      I'm Najam 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.

      Im sorry to learn that you received the item from order #**** in that condition. It is certainly not what we expect our customers to go through.

      Unauthorized activity may suggest, that there may have been unusual number of returned packages from this account and that further verification is required for certain orders to determine if return request is valid.

      For certain orders, our Specialist team requires a government issued identity proof to investigate and issue a refund.

      Please rest assured that any information provided by you, is handled according to our Privacy policy.

      We appreciate your patience and understanding.

      I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.

      Regards,

      Najam
