I have had an Amazon account for 2 years now (email: ************************** A week ago, my account was hacked by somebody trying to make an order, and thus my account was locked. Customer support was absolutely of no help to me. I made another account to try and contact customer support to see what was happening to my account (email: ************************ Soon after I made this account, my account was locked due to unusual activity. I had not made a single purchase on this account and only made it to try and resolve my issue by chatting with customer support. Today I received an email on my original account stating that my account will be closed and that I cannot make any more Amazon accounts. I dont understand why this has happened, I have been a loyal customer to ********************** and was simply trying to fix my issues, but instead they completely banned me from their platform. I am extremely frustrated, especially with Christmas coming up, that I cannot use their service for purchasing gifts that I needed. They are unfairly banning me from their platform over something I had no clue about. I would appreciate a resolution as I believe this is completely unjust.Customer Answer

Dear Better Business Bureau,I am writing to bring to your attention a pressing issue I am currently facing as the owner of the Amazon seller account for TAGCHOP CORP. The purpose of this formal complaint is to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction with the unresponsiveness and lack of assistance from Amazon Seller Support regarding a critical matter that has led to the suspension and locking of my account.The suspension of my account has created significant challenges in addressing issues with our valued customers, as we are currently unable to access our seller account. Despite our diligent efforts in submitting appeals and promptly providing the requested information to Amazon, our account remains suspended, and we have yet to receive a satisfactory resolution despite persistent follow-ups.In light of this, I am seeking your assistance in bringing this matter to the attention of Amazon. I kindly request that you conduct a prompt review of our appeal with the objective of reinstating our account at the earliest convenience. Your intervention is crucial in resolving this issue, and we eagerly anticipate your response.Should you need any further information or documentation, please feel free to inform us.

Greeting from Amazon Services,
I understand that the seller is asking for account reinstatement.
While we are not able to reveal details of our investigations, please be informed that our internal team has completed the account review and determinate that account does not qualify for reinstatement.
We recommend that the seller sends information about it to Amazon through the channels offered to the seller via email or through the sellers Account Health Dashboard in Seller Central.

I am rejecting this response because:I will NOT upload my government ID onto a third party portal for a refund that I'm entitled to based on Amazons return policy when I bought the watch. What they are asking is unlawful and it is against the consumer protection law in the US.

Delivery driver threw my packages, including a box of ginger beer, out of the drivers side window of their delivery van and busted the package of ginger beer. The video/pictures shows the ginger beer spewing out of the side of the box after it hit the concrete. Then the driver threw my other package out of the window too. I need to speak to the drivers supervisor ****. This person does not care about their job nor the fact that I have 6 cameras on my property. I am unable to attach the video to this complaint, but including a link of the video on my OneDrive cloud account to send to the drivers supervisor for review. ***********************************************************Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I already emailed Arun regarding my concerns. I did not get refunded for the other order that was thrown out of the window by the driver and did request a refund from the customer service rep who refused to honor my request. I also requested the drivers manager contact me directly. I need a call from a manager as soon as possible.

The transaction was on November 5, 2023 on Amazon.com, and the order number was 112-5196379-0737032. The item name is ****** ******* Shock Mount Compatible with Select Models with a unit price of $13.17. The item was returned on November 20th because of poor quality, and Amazon.com states the return may be lost during transit and suggests contacting customer service. However, when I contacted Amazon customer service to ask for a refund, I was told to upload a valid government-issued identity document. They also say if I do not submit the *** I will no longer be eligible for a refund on this order. When I asked the reason to turn in the ** and the connection with the refund, Amazon customer service simply ignored the question.This is quite upsetting and concerning since the loss of the return was not caused by the customer. Most importantly, asking for the customers ** is an infringement of personal information.Business Response

I made a purchase on 11/1/23 with Amazon. The order number is 111-8811076-5594620. I returned 3 items via *** on 12/2/23. The tracking number is 1Z1942RX9000927318. It shows delivered 12/7. Amazon still has yet to show my item has been received. I have called to ask about my refund to be hung up on 2 times and then told there is nothing they can do. My items total up to ******. I am being told I need to just wait until my item is checked in even if it takes 30 days. I really feel like I have been scammed by someone selling on Amazon and Amazon not wanting to take accountability for this. If this is how Amazon wants to conduct themselves it needs to be made clear on their website that items being returned may get lost and cant guarantee a refund. Had I known this I would have never purchased from this company. I would like to get my money back without having to wait over a month. I would like there to also be more transparency by this company on refund expectations of over 30 days. This way customers will know you purchase at their own risk. I will never do business with them again but would like to get a timely refund.Business Response

Hello ****,
I'm Srilaxmi 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 about the problem with refund on the items that are returned. It is certainly not what we expect our customers to go through.
Upon reviewing, I can confirm that refund of $100.88 is issued successfully for all the 3 items onFriday, December 15, 2023.
I would request you to wait for 3-5 business days for the refund to reflect on your card/bank account.
Generally the returns are processed by Amazon in 14 days. In some situations, it may take longer. Certain items can take up to 30 days. This additional time allows our ************** to find and process the item you have returned.
Although the return tracking shows delivered, the ************** has to complete the return processing before the refund is initiated.
More details can be viewed on this link:
