      I am a seller for Amazon. I recently sold a product, Squat Harness Lite Adjustable, to a customer who deliberately damaged the product by removing the connector rings. I took pictures that prove the deliberate damage done by the customer, yet ********************** always sides with the customer at the sellers expense. ********************** is basically saying that a customer can just break anything and get their money back at the sellers expense

      Greeting from Amazon Services,

      We have reached out to the Selling Partner regarding their concern. Please advise them to refer to Case ID *********** for more information.

      Complaint: 20995311

      I am rejecting this response because:
      The communication that was issued states that in order to pursue the refund, I must provide a picture of the return packaging.  How was I supposed to know that I would need to save the return packaging?  And what does the return packaging have to do with the condition in which the customer returned the product?  There is no where in any Amazon seller training manual that indicates this being necessary in order to dispute a return.

      The evidence that the customer abused the product is very clear.  You can see immediately that they did not use the product according to instructions, and you can also see that it is not physically possible for the product to find itself in this condition on accident.  The pictures I provided show enough evidence that the customer deliberately destroyed my product in order to assure his own refund.  He would have gotten his refund regardless, but now I cannot resell the product because it is no longer in sellable condition.  This is really a matter of accountability and a boken policy that continuously favors the customer over the seller; even when the customer deliberately destroys the merchandise.  I just want 1 time; just 1 time, to see that Amazon will also go to bat for it's sellers.
      Sincerely,

      *******************************

      I am rejecting this response because:
      I appreciate your response and looking into this case; I am simply leaving it open until it is resolved.  While you are investigating this, perhaps you can look into alternate way to contact Amazon when there are issues like this.  This is definitely not the first time that Amazon's return policies automatically favor the buyer over the seller, despite the buyer deliberately abusing merchandise.  My wife is an online reseller, and she encounters this problem very frequently- buyers experience buyer remorse, then they don't know that they can still get a refund without having to intentionally damage the merchandise.  It's gotten so bad that she has to film the packaging process to show every corner of the item as proof of its condition in case the buyer decides to destroy it.

      I think Amazon needs a better resolution path for sellers so that we don't need to open a BBB complaint whenever the walls come closing down on us.

      Hello *******,

      I am ***********;from Amazon.com. I am writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I have provided the BBB with a copy of this message.

      I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused with the retro charges processed on the orders mentioned in your complaint and about the $10 credit that was promised to compensate for your time.

      I've reviewed the details of the orders and see that the retro charges were already refunded back to your card charged.

      With regards to the $10 credit, I'm sorry about the misunderstanding and incorrect information that you received. The previous correspondence doesnt correctly reflect our current procedures at this time.

      However, to help you with this, I've applied a $10 gift card balance to your account as an exception.

      I am strongly suspicious that the Amazon driver falsified delivery of my packages. My address is in ***** at a **** PO BOX which the packages were suppose to be shipped to. The Amazon driver sent a photo of a doorstep and stairs that is clearly NOT the **** PO Box in ** which is proof of marking these packages falsely delivered ******* Street view proves the image doesn't match).Furthermore, if you check the tracking number on this order ending in ****, you can clearly see the packages were sent to the *****************, NOT *****. The packages were out for delivery in ********** ******** at 10:18am meaning it was scanned on a truck and leaving an Amazon Facility nearby. It is IMPOSSIBLE for the packages to arrive in at the *********** in ***** at 1:17pm as the images attached show. It would be a 30 minute drive to the **************, a 2 hour and 5 minute flight to my local ***** airport, a 20 minute drive to the Amazon facility near the local ***** airport, and a ************************************* *****. (NOT INCLUDING PROCESSING TIME). 10:18am + 30min + 2hr + 5min + 20min + 25min = 10:18am + 3hr and 20min = 1:38pm (NOT INCLUDING FACILITY PROCESSING TIME AND ASSUMING I AM THE FIRST STOP FOR THE AMAZON DRIVER). Clearly it is IMPOSSIBLE for my packages to be delivered in the timestamp it was shown on the tracking number. In addition, the **** in ***** conducted an investigation and never scanned the packages in and never found the packages that the Amazon driver marked delivered. Lastly, when I tried to reorder some of my items again ORDER ending in ****, Amazon tried to deliver my packages once again to ********** ********, caught the packages at their facility being the WRONG ADDRESS, and marked it RETURN TO SENDER. CLEARLY Amazon at the ********** ******** facility recognized that my packages were NOT BEING SENT TO THE RIGHT ADDRESS, so why didn't the Amazon driver on my ORDER ending in **** return to sender?Please refund my entire order ending in ****.

      On Nov 8, I initiated a return for Ring door bell (ORDER # ***-5100997-2386636 ) that my agent helped me to install on my rental property but it doesnt fit. Nov 13 i have dropped at *** store with tracking# 1Z6E55409064757471 and it was delivered back to Amazon Nov 17. However per return status in my account it keeps posting off the refund issue date and today I reached to the customer service they told me the refund has been requested will get confirmation in email. However, I received a request for additional identity verification, with Amazon Customer Support advising me to upload a copy of my ID. I am deeply concerned about the potential misuse of such sensitive information and the necessity of such verification for a standard return process.Requesting personal identification for the sole purpose of processing a return may raise legal questions about compliance with privacy laws and consumer protection regulations. I urge Amazon to review its policies to ensure alignment with applicable laws.I urgently request to expedite the processing of the refund for the returned item.

      I placed an order on Amazon for 2 of the Similac Infant Formula cases to be delivered to my house. They were delivered on time but some of the bottles had busted open during shipment and had leaked all over the rest of the bottles and the box. Everything was sticky and ruined because of the spill - we had to throw everything out because it got everywhere. I didnt think to take a picture of spilled formula before throwing it out. I contacted Amazon to get a refund (or replacement - I would be happy with either) and explained the issue. They told me I needed to submit my ID in order to get the refund. I did that and they still denied me my refund. Now they are insisting that I send pictures of the spilled formula, which I dont have. At the time of the spill, I cleaned it up and threw out the bottles and did not take any pictures. I have tried to explain this to them but no one will help me.

      I would like to inform you that our specialist team needs to verify your identity before we can consider requests for a refund or replacement in usual cases.

      However, as its a non returnable item, they'll need pictures of the damaged items in order to take an action.

      As there is no damage proof provide, we'll not be able to take any action on it from our end.

      If there was any other alternative, we would have surely helped.

      Complaint: 20995194

      I am rejecting this response because:

      My refund for the canceled, not returned item was not processed at the time you allege. The refund was finally processed after 57 days and over 15 phone calls and emails with multiple customer service departments only after I contacted the better business bureau. The refund was processed at 2:19 pm on December the 12th not at 8:- - AM as you have stated.  I spoke with customer service twice on the morning of the 12 December, 9:40, and 10:51 AM, the morning before filing with BBB and the refund was still not processed or approved at that time I spoke with customer service.

         I am also seeking the interest charged unnecessarily to my Apple credit card for the 57 days you held my money for an item I canceled before delivery and made numerous attempts to reconcile. I had been told 3-5 business days to process my refund for 57 days. The interest I was charged at a rate of *****% on the $1,378.54 at the time of you holding my money.

          


      Sincerely,

      I ordered a shoulder bag from Amazon.com on 7/31/23. On 8/8/23 I initiated a return and dropped it off at the *** store. I got refunded for all the other items I sent within that same box, but not for the shoulder bag, so on 8/17/23, I reached out to Amazon Chat. The representative assured me that I would have my refund for the bag by 8/29/23. However, it is now December 2023 and I still have not seen the refund. I contacted Amazon Chat again, and was told by that representative that the team who handles this issue is not currently live, but he forwarded my request to the team. I received an email from the team stating I needed to return the item within 30 days of the date I received it (I did in fact return it within the same week of receiving it) and asking for extremely personal information before they would "consider my request for a refund or replacement." They threatened that if I did not provide this personal information within 6 days, I would no longer be eligible for the refund that I was promised and that I rightfully deserve. I would greatly appreciate a resolution to this issue that has been dragging on for months.

      Hello **********;****,

      I'm Arun 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've reviewed the complaint and understand your concern regarding the return refund and ID verification.

      I apologize for the inconvenience.

      I would like to inform you that our specialist team needs to verify your identity before we can consider your request for a refund or replacement.

      Also, amazon takes all security-related matters very seriously and your account security is our top priority.

      We have policies and security measures in place to ensure that your personal information remains secure.

      Once submitted, our team will review/investigate and get back to you with a update on refund for the mentioned order.

      Unfortunately, we'll not be able to take any action on it without the verification is done by the team.

      However, I'll surely take this as a feedback from you and will forward it to the team for further review on it.

      If there was any other alternative, we would have surely helped.

      I appreciate your understanding in this matter.

      Regards,

      Arun
      Amazon.com

      Complaint: 20995125

      I am rejecting this response because I was promised a refund for the item I returned back in August. That was four months ago.

      If there truly was a security concern on my account, why is ********************** continuing to allow me to make purchases? Amazon clearly is not concerned about my account security, and is attempting to steal money from me for an item I have already sent back. That is fraudulent behavior. 

      I am not uploading my personal information to a third party site. That seems very unsafe and is a violation of my privacy. I will await my refund, as that is the only acceptable resolution in this case. Thank you. 

      Sincerely,

      **********;

      My name is ***********************, and ******************* is the official email address associated with my seller account. **********, 2023 I received mail notifying ofa video verification process with Amazon. Amazon did not, however, provide any further details regarding the particular ****s that I need to confirm with such invoices. The primary issue is that, technically, Amazon won't let me attach shipping documents or details on every **** inside my account. The **** or ****s that Amazon is interested in working with are not specified by Amazon.Please provide me with information about which products and ****s Amazon wants me to upload information.

      I have additional information regarding this case.
      As I already mentioned on December 10, 23, Amazon sent me a notification with a link: ***********************************************************************************************************************, according to which I must go through the video call procedure with an Amazon Support representative.
      Since the issue of successful funds disbursement is quite essential to me, on December 14, 2023, I followed the link. I uploaded the necessary documents. Since I did not receive additional information about the specific ASIN list for verification, I only uploaded a photo of my passport and a credit card statement. Next, the Amazon system responded that an Amazon representative would contact me within 1-4 minutes. I sat for several hours waiting for a support representative but did not receive any feedback. I checked all the technical parameters of my browser and the sound and video camera settings. Everything is exactly as Amazon requested: the camera and microphone work. Nobody just contacts me. I repeated this procedure on December 15, 23. Nobody just contacts me on December 15, 23. Amazon is intentionally withholding funds from my account. The last time I received a notification from Amazon was that I missed a call with Amazon. Amazon can only reactivate my account after completing the video verification procedure. I do not understand what is going on. Why does Amazon mention account reactivation when I request a withdrawal of funds from my account? I also dont understand why no one contacted me after such a long time of waiting on the call and waiting for the support representative to appear. Please review the attachments that I sent with my appeal. I send screenshots that confirm that I have taken the necessary actions; Amazon support can check the same information through the backend of my account.
      Please send me a valid link to call with Amazon support.

      Complaint: 20995052

      I am rejecting this response because: Amazon Support representatives don't show up for scheduled calls, the last time I tried to contact them was the notification call assigned to me on 12/15/2023. I have not received any response from the Amazon Support representatives again. I sat for 40 minutes waiting for an Amazon Support representative. (Below, I am sending screenshots in which I noted the time of 19:45, according to which I entered the call, and 20:25, when I left it. The promised waiting time was 3-6 minutes. No one connected to me within forty minutes.)
      In addition, I am currently in the hospital and have limited time to communicate with Amazon Support representatives. However, no one gives me an exact time frame for such a support call. Despite my illness, I found time to connect to the call, but no one answered me. Since I am in the hospital, I cannot sit for hours in front of my laptop monitor waiting for Amazon Support representatives when the expected waiting time should be 3-6 minutes. Please allow me to book slots for a video call at a specific time.

      Sincerely,

      ***********************
