I am rejecting this response because:Amazon should refund return items within 30 days and it is illegal and not mandatory for amazon as a merchant to ask for my id to refund me for returned item. Amazon return policy does not indicate that an id is requited for returns you are going against your own policies. i also have confirmed emailed replies from amazon that i will be given all valid refunds appropriately .

I am writing to you on behalf of ******** Home Shop, a growing and innovative personal care retailer. I am addressing an issue that requires your urgent attention and assistance. We operate in the personal care category and pride ourselves on offering high quality products, from cosmetics to fragrances. But lately I have encountered specific problems such as constant messages from the alleged copyright holder about trademark infringement and intellectual property complaints. The contact email address provided by this organization is *************************************** These reports appear to be part of a broader strategy to stifle competition and manipulate the market. It has come to our attention that we are facing intellectual property complaints from an unscrupulous competitor, and these complaints appear to be a deliberate attempt to interfere with our business and damage our reputation in the marketplace. The competitor in question has filed unfounded claims alleging infringement of intellectual property rights associated with our products. We believe that these complaints are unfounded and are part of a broader strategy aimed at hindering the growth of our business. I have filed several appeals with Amazon and provided evidence of product authenticity, but the handling of my case appears to conflict with Amazon's commitment to fair business practices, raising questions about the impartiality and transparency of the sales performance team's decisions. The current issues are negatively impacting my ability to successfully operate a business on the Amazon platform, despite my commitment to comply with Amazon's policies. I am requesting the intervention of the Better Business Bureau to facilitate a fair and speedy resolution of this matter and to stop the ************************************** email from filing complaints against us. I believe your participation will contribute to a more equitable outcome.Business Response

Complaint: 21011305
I am rejecting this response because:
Dear Better Business Bureau,
I am writing to file a formal complaint against Amazon regarding the severe disruption of my business activities on the platform and the inaccurate information provided during the resolution process. The actions taken by Amazon have not only led to a complete halt in my business operations but have also resulted in the blocking of all funds in my account.
The specific details of my complaint are as follows:
Video Verification Process:
Amazon initiated a video verification process for my seller account, which I believe is currently conducted without legal grounds. Despite participating in the process, Amazon is causing undue delays in completing this issue after my first complaint to Better Business Buro on 12.15.2023, leaving my account and listings in a suspended state, after that Amazon initiated the video verification.
Blocked Listings:
Amazon has blocked multiple listings. The affected ASINs include: B018LGC77I, B07KFQDLJS, B0848S8GN3, B07JQQXJGS, B08MWKL95W, B07F899MGZ, B009UOM2UI, B07XQ7BQB5, B07PH3C2BL, B00MDT6M6W, B0CLP74V2L, B07XQKZVJG, B0BC8H78GM, B07QGH6CZ5, B07Z5FF5D3, B00JTP1INK, B0B2Q7G3MD, B005G7BRW2, B07XJDW9Q4.
Inaccurate Information:
Despite receiving notifications that the listings have been reinstated, they remain blocked on the platform. Amazon's responses have consistently provided inaccurate information, causing confusion and frustration. The lack of transparency in the communication has hindered my ability to rectify the situation.
The aforementioned actions by Amazon have severely impacted my ability to conduct business, resulting in financial losses and reputational damage. I have diligently followed Amazon's policies and procedures, providing all required documentation and information, yet the situation persists.
I currently operate an Amazon store, and my primary marketplace is Amazon.com, which caters to ***************** market. However, my account is registered with me and I am a citizen of **********. I want to clarify that my business operations are focused on serving customers within ***************** through the Amazon.com platform.
I understand the importance of adhering to the policies and regulations of organizations such as the Better Business Bureau, and I want to assure you that my business practices align with the specific market coverage.
I appreciate the Better Business Bureau's dedication to ensuring fair and transparent business practices. If there are any specific actions required from my end or additional information needed to address this matter, please provide guidance, and I will promptly comply.
Thank you for your attention to this concern, and I look forward to resolving this matter in accordance with the appropriate procedures.
I kindly request the Better Business Bureau's intervention to investigate this matter thoroughly and facilitate a fair and prompt resolution.
1. Please ask Amazon to reinstate the listings: B018LGC77I, B07KFQDLJS, B0848S8GN3, B07JQQXJGS, B08MWKL95W, B07F899MGZ, B009UOM2UI, B07XQ7BQB5, B07PH3C2BL, B00MDT6M6W, B0CLP74V2L, B07XQKZVJG, B0BC8H78GM, B07QGH6CZ5, B07Z5FF5D3, B00JTP1INK, B0B2Q7G3MD, B005G7BRW2, B07XJDW9Q4 as Amazon decided in their letter from December 18, 2023.
2. Please cancel the no-legal video verification initiated by Amazon.com
I am open to providing any additional documentation or information necessary for a comprehensive review.
Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I trust that your involvement will lead to a fair resolution and the restoration of my business activities on the Amazon platform.

I am rejecting this response because:It is unacceptable that I have to send in id to verify myself for the status of my return. If my account required identification, why was I allowed to create the return label and ship the item. Why am I still allowed to use my account as normal. It is outrageous and a huge breach of privacy to request personal identification to receive a refund of an item I already returned. I already regrettably sent in clear pictures of my id once, I do not wish to send them again.

I am writing to express the extreme frustration and disappointment I am currently experiencing with the handling of my Order# ***-0762072-565783. Despite making >8 calls to both Amazon and **** including engaging with the Leadership Team, a *** supervisor, and *** from my local facility, my issue remains unresolved, with both parties deflecting blame.On December 13th, the package with a required signature for delivery to my address was not attempted, contrary to the tracking information. It was supposed to be rerouted to a *** access point on the same day after a missed delivery claim. Despite assurances on December 13th that the package would reach the access point, it never did.Subsequent calls on ***** revealed conflicting information, with a *** stating the package was en route to the access point. However, the tracking updated to "The package has been redirected and forwarded to the delivery center" at 3PM. Despite being assured the package would be delivered to my address or the access point by 9 PM, the status later changed to "The receiver states the product was not ordered and has refused the delivery. / The package will be returned to the sender" after 8 PM.*** is now alleging that I refused delivery mid-transit to a *** access point, an impossibility given the package hadn't reached any destination. A *** supervisor claimed an inability to make changes due to Amazon's shipper restrictions, insisting Amazon must call *** for a "package intercept" to redeliver.In three calls to Amazon, including discussions with a supervisor and the leadership team, I was repeatedly told they cannot contact *** due to restrictions on sharing customer information. The blame game between Amazon and *** persists.The original item, a product with limited availability, is no longer available at the original price. Reordering is not an option, and I implore Amazon to take swift action to resend the package or provide compensation that can be applied to the new order.Business Response

If you are willing to return, I'm sorry to inform you that a return method through a pickup is the only available option.
We look forward to hear from you soon.

I am rejecting this response because: My telephone conversation with ***** commenced at approx ****pm MST on 12/14/23. Amazon needs to pull that recording.Furthermore a 10% duscount to a previously loyal customer who has been subjected to all this inconvenience is an insult.
Lastly their option of a pick up is not possible -obvious to someone who had actually read and comprehended my detailed complaint - therefore it is not even an option.
Sincerely,

I'd like to ask Amazon to explain why their rep ***** sent the email (already forwarded in initial complaint) regarding this partial refund if they have no knowledge of it?
As you will see when you review this email, this is not a regular return as they are demanding proof of my ID (which was provided by me to them).
So why was this non regular return demand emailed to me by ***** if there was no intention on their part of offering one?
And the other issues raised by me were summarily ignored in their reply. I still require these to be addressed please.
