      I paid $3330.32 for four items (order number: 113-4532819-1529054) on November 18 2023 and I returned all of them unopened on Dec 1st attached return slips. After two weeks I still didn't get my refund and when I called amazon customer service, the agent said I need to submit Govt. ID and then only they consider for a refund. I'm highly concerned as this could be an identity theft, accessing my govt. id information can provide them access to my bank accounts, credit cards and God knows the information could be misused for unimaginable purposes. Being a US citizen I'm not comfortable sharing my govt. ID via email to a customer service agent sitting in a 3rd world country on the other side of the world. Amazon already has all the necessary information to refund on my order, they can certainly refund to the same card I used to purchase. They never asked for an ID upfront or prior but only after luring one to purchase products and when items were already returned to amazon, why only now they're obligating to refund, giving me no choice unless I submit my govt. id? With already weaken data privacy laws in this country, now the big corporations like amazon asking govt. id's of people is like stripping a person to **** naked in public!There by, I request that Better Business Bureau to step in and help common man like me to resolve this issue.

      Hello *******************,

      I'm ***** 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 concern to know details about the abnormal activity found on your account and about submitting Government issued identification proof for refunds.

      Due to proprietary nature of our business, I'm afraid that we won't be able to share the details of our investigation methods.

      For certain orders, our Specialist team requires a government issued identity proof to investigate the orders. However, the returns and refund process for normal orders still remains unchanged. You shall receive refunds once the items reach our returns center.

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

      All personal information that you provide will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Notice. To review our Privacy Notice, go to "Amazon and Your Personal Information":

      Complaint: 21014771

      I am rejecting this response because: Please see attached, they're just repeating the same message they sent me earlier, Amazon is expecting that their customers have to follow whatever they ask to do irrespective of it being illegal and unconstitutional. I'm well within my rights to deny sharing my personal information especially, govt. IDs to a publicly traded company Amazon. They do not share any information on what's the abnormal activity because it contradicts their policy of returning items and in return, they expect everything from us. If they do not want the items to be returned, they shouldn't be advertising the 30day return policy, by doing this they're violating the 30day return policy and clearly obligating to refund in the same way they're purchased for the items that were already returned. Amazon is not following their return policy, if they need us to show govt. id, they need to mention it upfront before purchase and they knew no one would buy if people had to show their govt. IDs for every purchase instead they're mall practicing and taking advantage of the fact that we wouldn't have any choice when we return items to get back our refund, they're willing to demand us to show whatever they like to. Given the concern on the data privacy that I shared in my previous message, I'm not confident that my govt. id information ends up being misused since it has access to the people who are not a US Citizen, not living in ******* and with no proper background verification of people working to validate my govt. information, this information can be easily used for wrong purposes and hence I'm not sharing any of my personal information (govt. ID's). It is a clear indication Amazon is intending to keep the returned goods and my money causing inconvenience to customers.

      In addition, I'm now going to file a case against amazon for not refunding on my order for the goods that were unopened and returned long back. I'm going to register a complaint with state attorney general especially for asking govt. ID's and also with FTC for improper business practices.


      Sincerely,

      On Dec 14, 2023 I contacted Amazon Chat regarding order number 111-6066696-1591413. After the chat was completed I received 2 identical emails (at 1:46 pm & 1:57 pm PST) from no-****************************** that claimed there was abnormal activity on the account and ********************** would have to verify my identity (through a 3rd party) before considering my request for a refund or replacement. They requested I upload a government issued ID to a link in this email. This seems fishy. I will not upload any ID to a link in any email. Because the two emails are identical, I must assume that they are generated by AI. Amazon is making an outrageous request for private information that they do not need before authorizing a refund. I have literally spent multiple hours on chat attempting to sort this and now, they are making an unnecessary, outrageous and potentially class-actionable request for my ID.

      Complaint: 21014753

      I am rejecting this response because:

      my original contact with Amazon was to ask for help with contacting their vendor who has not replied to my 3 messages regarding this item. As it was outside the return time limit, I didnt ask for nor expect a refund (but as a courtesy would have accepted one had Amazon offered). As usual, Amazon employees do not do a very good job of understanding customer communications. The icing on this particular cake was them asking for my private information which, because of what I was asking for, is none of their business. When searching for other stories about Amazon attempting to scam their customers out of unnecessary privileged information, I found that many had obtained help when using BBB services. I suggest you go back and read my original chats regarding this order (and they go back to almost as soon as I bought it in September 2023) to see if you can provide an acceptable solution.

      Sincerely,

      I never asked Amazon for a refund but I did ask for help in communicating with the merchant. 

      Amazon is unable to read with comprehension of the issues. 

      I tried to rate the service I got from BBB but the link was broken. I wonder why?

      This complaint is regarding Order# ***-0076260-4660220 for a MacBook Air ordered on Ordered on November 14, 2023. The total amount is $1407.60. I returned the item a day or so after receiving it. Amazon received the package a while back and still hasn't refunded my money. I've contacted the numerous times and they have failed to provide my refund. I am now considering filing a dispute with my credit card company and potentially seeking legal help, as they are failing to oblige to their refund policy. I would like this matter resolved as soon as possible, as this is causing me distress from the statutory damages they have impacted me with. Thank you for your efforts.

      The letter stated to upload my ID, which I've never had to do before for any return. The link contained in the letter led me to a malicious site that was blocked by my computer. I have attached a screenshot. I'm not sure what kind of scam it is but I certainly am not visiting any more web sites due to the risk of my identity being compromised. It has been over one month now that they have received the return (November 20) and I still haven't received my refund, my *** tracking #: 1Z67561Y9027674065.
      I am demanding my refund immediately from Amazon immediately.

      My Amazon account has been wrongfully suspended but I dont understand what *** been accused of. My notices have mentioned 4 di?erent violations; I am adamant I did not manipulate any invoices, commit FBA credit abuse, or deceive anyone; Amazon is mistaken because I havent done anything wrong. Ive disputed the suspension, but Amazon claims I have not sent them su$cient information. Am I expected to guess what Amazon needs to prove my innocence when the suspension reasons theyve told me are inconsistent? If an investigator will only look into this further, they will see theyve made a mistake and I should be selling right now, but no one will give me a straight answer. Ive missed Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and Im on track to miss the entire Holiday season if Amazon doesnt correct their mistakes. I would never do the things Amazon has accused me of. Can you help?

      I am trying to recover from a mistake that was made. I willingly allowed my VAs to order products to sell on Amazon without oversight on my part. This allowed an inauthentic product to be sold on Amazon.This was not a rampant issue, just a single SKU.Amazon has decided that that single error means that my account is no longer good enough to sell on Amazon. I have sent appeals and letters to so many different teams within Amazon, all with any help.Most of the emails I have sent have not been responded to at all.This one product that was sold was not a part of my core business, just an add-on to help generate revenue. As a business owner, I expect my people and partners to make some mistakes, that is what helps us learn. However, it seems with Amazon that even honest mistakes are treated as if we were attempting something nefarious.I am asking for your help to work with Amazon to restore my seller account.

      I am rejecting this response because: The trouble is, you are asking for nothing. My team did buy and list a SINGLE product inappropriately. One. Single. Product. This is not the standard of my account. If the holidays are killing my chance of reinstatement, let me know. 

      Sincerely,

      I write to express deep concern over the lack of response to my previous correspondences regarding the suspension of my Amazon account under Section 3. Despite immediate actions on my part to rectify identified issues, the only responses I have received have been automated. Regrettably, my attempts to reach an actual representative at Amazon to discuss and resolve my appeals have been unsuccessful. Your suspension has caused substantial financial losses and reputational damage. Absent a timely response within 10 business days, I am compelled to pursue legal action for damages and loss of business opportunities. In my ******* efforts to recover from a mistake made by allowing my VAs to order products without proper oversight, I acknowledge the single SKU error that led to the sale of an inauthentic product on Amazon. This isolated incident, not reflective of my core business, was an honest mistake and an attempt to diversify revenue streams. I have sent appeals and letters to multiple teams within Amazon, but unfortunately, most have gone unanswered. I understand the importance of upholding standards, but it seems that even honest mistakes are treated as if they were nefarious actions. As a business owner, I expect my team to learn from mistakes, and I am seeking your assistance to work with Amazon to restore my seller account. I believe this issue can be resolved amicably, and I trust your prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, *********************
