      Hello! I placed an order with Amazon for a ******** Beach Iron which I didnt like so I ended up returning the item within their provided return window with **** My return order was shown in transit for about a month on their system and then they reached out to me saying they didnt receive the product and so theyd be charging my card again. When I called the customer care to ask for the refund, they told me that they needed my personal information and government ids to process the refund, which Im not comfortable sharing with Amazon. I was hoping to use help here to get my refund. Following are the specific details about my order:Order date - Oct 7, 2023 Order #***-5080858-0872227 Order total $46.54 (1 item)Product name: ******** Beach Steam Iron

      Complaint: 20890345

      I am rejecting this response because: I returned the item that I received from amazon in the first place. This is just a way for them to harass people and ask for their private information which I wouldnt be sharing. My account was refunded initially and then charged again after 1 month giving me their own made up reasons to request private information. Ill be taking my business somewhere else next time.

      Hi, Ive been an amazon prime customer for 7+ years. Have recently returned 2 items, due to inaccurate description and defective batch. After I returned it I was charged again for those items. Dropped them off at *** and WHOLE FOODS. ***** were scanned. luvs diapers size 3 $39.94 Childrens place pj $9.83. Now Amazon is requesting my ID verification due to unusual activity on my account (Im the only one who has access to it). I dont feel safe sharing my Government issued id via email with Amazon. They wont process a refund for double charges unless I submit my ID.

      I received and item which was not as described (this is common with Amazon Warehouse items). I returned it and I got a refund a days later; this was in August 2023. On October 16th 2023, I got charged for ***** for the item that I already have returned and received the refund of. After contacting Amazon multiple times (chat) and every time hearing "sorry for the mistake, we will refund you", I decided to call Amazon. I called them on November 18th and was transferred to a department. The agent tells me that I need to submit my ID to get a refund, and after asking what does it have to do with the refund, she hung up. I kept asking her for case ID and stuff and she told me that she will send me an email after the call. She also said that Amazon has been doing this lately and the only way to get a refund is by submitting my ID. I don't remember the last time any institution requested outrageous private information from me just to get your refund!

      Complaint: 20890264

      I am rejecting this response because:

      1) The item has already been returned and confirmed by Amazon

      2) I initially received a refund for the returned item

      3) Amazon charged me 2 months alter saying the item was not returned

      4) contacted the customer service multiple time (even before I was charged, since I got the email).

      5) in every event, the customer service (chat) said that there is nothing to be worried about and that sometimes the computer accidentally does this.

      6) in every even I waited for the refund and never received it.

      7) Amazon has their item and has charged e the amount. Now they are saying that there has been abnormal activity which requires a government issued identity proof to investigate the order in question.

      8) This is invasion of privacy and BBB complaint stands!

      Ordered on October 5, 2023 Order# ***-0575294-7449029 Returned items to Amazon via provided tracking number 1Z84187Y9012269332. Today I was charged again for the returned item, they state that they need my state ID in order to process the refund for the item. I have returned things to amazon in the past and never had to provide this information to them. They have my credit card on file and are telling me they now need my ID to process the return. This is totally unacceptable behavior, I returned the item in question and now all of a sudden they charge me again and won't refund me until I give them ID. According to the *** Tracking it was received and signed for at the returns warehouse. That is attached to this report. According to their chat service they received the item back. They have done this to me in the past and have been able to correct the error, but now they wont a need ID. I don't have the item it was shipped back and now I am out the money I am owed back. They also refunded the incorrect amounts according to their invoice paperwork where they pocketed the money. This is for a specific item titled TayMac MM510C Single-Gang Horizontal/Vertical Weatherproof Receptacle Cover, **** Inches Deep, Clear. Attached are all of the documents showing that it is returned and received as well as them charging me again.

      Amazon is not refunding me, and for them to refund me, they are requesting outrageous private information from me just to get my refund. I have never been asked to submit my ID to receive a refund and now they're making me do that. My order did arrive, but it was a $130 order that is missing 2/3 items, and the only thing that did come was damaged at arrival. Nothing said un refundable so it is returnable and after I made the complaint to amazon about my order, they won't issue the refund without an ID. They told me they would close my account if I made a complaint and now i am also worried that they would shut down my account out of no where. I shouldn't be forced to have to send them my ID when they didn't even send me my full order and the only one thing (out of 3) that came was damaged.

      I received an email on Nov 13 from amazon that they were locking my account due to signs of fraud. I have tried to get it unlocked but customer service keeps giving me different excuses and criteria that needed to unlock it. They ask security questions that either are correct and they state are not or they ask questions that no person should be required to know. I have several hundreds of dollars indigital items and subscriptions that have paid for that I can not access.

      Amazon illegally re-charged my credit card $99.21 on 11/18/23 for an item that was verified by *** as returned to Amazon's warehouse on 10/2/23. Amazon's system even shows it was delivered: "looks like we received this item. Thanks for returning it."Amazon Order 112-3721892-7201001: ***** Heritage Toaster - 1z88501a9013501764 Amazon had sent me the wrong toaster (color etc) so I went to the hassle of returning it. I was refunded as is proper when the return was delivered. Now, almost 2 months later, Amazon has re-charged me for the item back in their possession without my authorization or consent. This is, again, ILLEGAL.I contacted customer service and was told that I would need to submit my driver's license in order for them to investigate this. Not only was no reason provided for needing that sensitive Personal Information, but Amazon says they will share my biometric data with undisclosed third parties, which is also illegal. No permissible purpose was identified and the third parties are not identified either. I will NOT share my biographic data with Amazon and any number of unknown third parties for no clear reason. Amazon does not need that information to reverse the unauthorized charge; they have my credit card information and that's all they need to rectify THEIR error.I must be refunded $99.21 immediately as, again, the re-charge for an item verified as returned was not authorized. Return evidence and customer support chat transcript attached.

      Complaint: 20890142

      I am rejecting this response because it does not address my complaint at all. None of the concerns or violations of consumer protection regulations I outlined in my complaint are even referenced.

      There is absolutely no (legal) reason you would need my biometric data (driver's license) in order to reverse an illegal charge you assessed on my credit card. Clearly you know enough about my identity to bill me without authorization.

      If you had legitimate concerns about my account or identity, you would not accept new orders / more of my money. But conveniently, you're happy to do that. It's just when I'm due a refund (again, for a charge that violates consumer protection laws) that you suddenly and without justification "need" this information to share with unknown third parties.

      I will not share my sensitive Personal Information with Amazon or with the undisclosed third parties you say you'll share it with. You have not made clear why you need this data (there's no permissible purpose as required by law) nor have the third parties and their data security / usage / selling practices been disclosed,which also violates the law.

      This misconduct--both re-charging me for merchandise returned to you without my authorization AND requesting sensitive Personal Information without the proper permissible purpose, third-party disclosures, etc. required by law will be reported to the *** for investigation. I see from online forums that Amazon is scamming hundreds if not thousands of customers this way. 

      Amazon will also receive a chargeback dispute for the unauthorized and illegal retrocharge assessed to my credit card, and I will report Amazon for fraud as well, again to both my financial institution and to the ***.

      With all the scrutiny Amazon is under from the *** for other illegal misconduct (see some examples linked below), I am surprised that your focus is finding new ways to harm consumers rather than addressing enormous and systemic failures that have already been identified.

      This item was returned September 29,2023. The seller is trying to recharge me for this item. I requested a reversal. Associate said they wouldn't reverse the payment until I submitted my ID. Which is absurd because I was communicating with the associate through my Amazon account. I followed up with my credit card institution and there is no abnormal activity. I ask the representative if there's abnormal activity on my account why haven't I been notified? It's two months later for this return item. They are requesting outrageous private information for me to get a refund that was already issued to me. That makes no sense at all.Amazon sells your private information. That it not safe. Order date Sep 23, 2023 Order #***-9012589-2857856

      I bought a ******* RB2132 New Wayfarer sunglasses which worths $210 without taxes and I received a broken and used item and I have proof (the pictures I took from the item) and I returned with *** tracking that was provided to me by Amazon which was 1ZR9Y1900338262470 and it shows that the item was delivered on Oct. 23 which is almost 4 weeks ago. I contacted amazon multiple times and they are saying that they want to see my government issued ID, but I don't want to share my personal information with a private company. They are saying that if they don't see my I D, they can not help me with this order. They have the item and didn't give my money back! My order ID is *******************

      I am rejecting this response because: my ID is my personal information and I will and can not provide it for a simple return to  Amazon. No where on you return policy it says that an id is required to return an item within 30 days. You can not ask me for something that is not written on your policy. I deserve my refund as a regular customer. 

      Sincerely,
