Received letter from TRS (debt collection) indicating Amazon.com Services *** trying to collect for a product purchased, paid by E-Check and payment returned due to account closed. I contacted Amazon several times as I did not order this item, they confirmed this order was not in my account nor any emails confirming order or delivery. **** was a scam and to ignore. I tried several times to get information on the account associated with Order #***-6319926-3687404.There is a fraudulent account with my name, and E-check written on an account that is not mine, and a drivers license that is not mine. A police report is pending for identity fraud, but Amazon said nothing on my account. I have requested several times for Amazon to research what account this order is associated with. Date 8/1/23. TRS Recovery said originator is Amazon but failed to give me an address, so please get this complaint to the correct Amazon location. Since this was ordered through a fraudulent account and charged to an account associated with someone else and was closed, there was no payment from my account.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
amazon needs to contact TRS to close the collection on me, not put it back on me. I have contacted TRS many times and their response is amazon finds no unapproved purchases on my account so the collection remains open. Also, I have a right to know who fraudulently used my name. Not acceptable to withhold this information.

******* **** ********************************************************************* ************************* ************ November 10th, 2023 Better Business Bureau Subject: Complaint Regarding Amazon Seller Account Funds Withholding Dear Better Business Bureau,I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to file a formal complaint against Amazon.com regarding the deactivation of my seller account and the withholding of funds owed to me. Despite my efforts to rectify the situation and comply with Amazon's policies, my account remains deactivated, and I have been unable to access the funds totaling $37,211.17.As a single mother of two children under 10 years old, the debt caused by this situation has caused me significant emotional and financial distress. My Amazon seller account sudden deactivation and withholding of my funds has exacerbated our already challenging circumstances.Timeline of Events:1. April 2022: I found ************************* on Fiverr, who offered his services as a freelance manager for Amazon Services, specifically for automating Amazon dropshipping stores.2. June 2010: I decided to give it a try and hired ************************* and his partner **** to manage my Amazon seller account. They were located in ********, and we communicated primarily through WhatsApp using the numbers *************** and ***************.3. ************************* explained that I needed an LLC and a ***'s Club account and membership to proceed with the dropshipping venture. He assured me that dropshipping was allowed by Amazon, and provided a link from Amazon's website to support this claim (***************************************************************************************************************************************************************).4. In July 2022 I granted ************************* and **** admin access to my seller account on **********************, allowing them to manage orders and handle day-to-day operations. They kept the Amazon account very healthy, No late shipments and answered all customer concerns in a timely manner. No customer was left unsatisfied. 5. Despite my trust in their expertise, it became apparent that the freelancers' actions violated Amazon's policies, leading to the deactivation of my account.6. I have invested significant time and resources into understanding the reasons behind the violations and have implemented comprehensive measures to rectify the situation. I have thoroughly reviewed Amazon's policies, implemented enhanced quality control measures, strengthened supplier relationships, and actively sought out educational resources to ensure full compliance with Amazon's guidelines.7. Despite multiple attempts to contact Amazon and request the release of funds, they have yet to comply. They explicitly stated that they will not release the funds to me.Since the deactivation of my account, the financial hardship caused by the withholding of funds has had a severe impact on my ability to provide for my children and meet our basic needs. The emotional distress resulting from this situation has been overwhelming, as I constantly worry about our financial stability and future.I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter and ensuring that Amazon fulfills its obligations. I request that Amazon immediately release the funds owed to me. Additionally, I urge Amazon to improve their communication and customer service practices to prevent similar situations from occurring in the future.I have attached supporting documentation, including correspondence with Amazon and evidence of my efforts to rectify the situation. I kindly request that you thoroughly investigate this matter and take appropriate action to ensure a fair resolution.Thank you for your attention to this complaint. I trust that the Better Business Bureau will advocate for a just resolution and hold Amazon accountable for their actions. I look forward to a prompt response and a satisfactory resolution to this matter.Sincerely,******* **** The Luxurious Haven LLCBusiness Response

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused with order #***-1394090-4811461.
I'm sorry to hear your Un-Edison A19 LED Bug Light didn't work out. We accept the return of merchandise as long as it's returned in new condition within the return window. It looks like the return window for the product ended on December 22, 2021 as order was placed on Sunday, November 21, 2021.
Because more than 30 days have passed since you received this item, we can no longer accept a return or create a replacement.
Our returns procedures state that within 30 days of delivery of your order, you may return most merchandise in new condition, with the original packaging and accessories, or any defective merchandise, for a full refund.
Since your item worked for less than ****** hours, we recommend you to contact the manufacturer for any assistance with warranty, replacement, or refund information. You can find the manufacturer's contact information here: ********************************************

I ordered items from Amazon on July 22, 2023. Here is a list of my purchases; Wig $126.60 #***-7345200-356426, Gazebo $787.01 #***-4707409-4249800, Necklace $166.69, ***-4331173-2617033, Necklace $25.31 #***-3225333-8790645 the total purchase was $1,105.61. I applied for a loan through Affirm and was approved. Affirm conveyed that they payed the loan to Amazon. Amazon can't locate the money. I've been going back and forth. My last effort to resolve this issue was November 6, 2023. I was going through the situation for the 12th time and asked the agent about the history of my complaints he said that there weren't any. I possess a letter from Affirm with a 0 balance. Received a fax number from Amazon and no has received anything. So, I request the fax number again and it was different from the two previous numbers. Amazon has not been customer friendly. It's terrible no one at this company can resolve this matter. I did send a payment to Amazon in the amount of $970.00. After communicating with Affirm they informed me that they paid Amazon I owned Affirm the $1105.61. So, I asked for the money back from Amazon and once received sent the check to Affirm. I sent the statement of the payment I made to Amazon and they refunded me.Business Response

I bought at amazon.com and the delivery method was to an Amazon locker. Because I couldn't go to pick up my shipping from Amazon to the locker, I was getting a full refund of my order (included in the shipping policy). But then they told me my bank rejected the refund to my credit card (the same credit card I made the purchase). So they couldn't refund me my money to my credit card. I asked my bank if this was true and they told me it wasn't. Because they told me I couldn't get the refund to my credit card I was offered a check or a gift card so I chose a gift card but now I've been thinking about it and this is outrageous, if I made a purchase and didn't receive and supposedly will have full refund this must be done to the same method I use to pay which was my credit card so I want my full refund to my credit card without any excuses. order #***-9573408-9225821Business Response

Hello,
I am ******** 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 regarding the refund issue. I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused.
Upon checking on the details, I see that the team have processed the refund to your original payment however it was returned back to our system as "Declined" from the card issuer. This is the reason our team requested to select alternate refund method.
However as you mentioned you have contacted your bank and they confirmed there isn't any issue, it must be a technical glitch due to which this should have happened and the refund declined.
I've shared this feedback with our team to get this checked for necessary action and have processed your refund again to your original payment.
The refund of $48.37 + $65.32 = Total refunded:$113.69 should reflect on your billing statement in 3-5 business days. You will be notified via email once this refund is completed.

On August 31, 2023 I ordered 6000mAh Replacement for Dewalt 20V ********************** with Dewalt Battery DCB205 DCB205-2 DCB206 DCB207 DCB203 DCB201 DCB204 Compatible with Dewalt 20 volt Battery and ************** Tool ****** from Amazon. Order# ***-6280029-5461842 Within the first week of using the item one of the batteries was defective so I set up a return. I returned the defective battery with the expectation of getting a replacement battery. After Amazon received the item I was told that it was the wrong item. I contacted customer service to learn more and was told that it was a partial return since it was 1 of 2 batteries. I asked for a return label to return the other battery and was told not to worry that they will issue a full refund and not to return the other battery. I was notified a week later that I needed to return the correct item or my refund will be reversed. I contacted them serval times for a return label and was not supplied one. After many attempts to get a return label none was provided or clear directions on how to return it. I have now been charged the $66.52 and attempted assistance through their appeal and escalation process. They replied "The return window for "6000mAh Replacement for Dewalt 20V ********************** with Dewalt Battery DCB205 DCB205-2 DCB206 DCB207 DCB203 DCB201 DCB204 Compatible with Dewal" expired on October 8, 2023. At this time, we're no longer able to accept the return of the correct item." This is not correct because on October 24 I received an email "This is a reminder to return the item below. Weve issued your refund in advance, but still expect to receive the return. Send the item back by Fri, Nov 3 to avoid being charged again." I am now told today.

After two hours of being passed around in the chat, I call Amazon customer service. The first rep tells me they CAN see the charges but cant tell me what theyre from. The next rep says Im making it up and no charges have been made to my account. I would like my money back! I also want to note that one of the cards charged (****) was not my default card and should not have been used at all-there was no money in that account and now Im facing overdraft fees! Will attach photos of transaction list from Amazon and bank statements.Business Response

Hello,
I am ******** 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 apologize for the inconvenience caused regarding the unauthorized charges and for the bad experience you had with our customer support team.
Upon checking on the details, I see that you have a merchant account registered with us and those charges appears to be from that account. I request you to please login to your merchant account to be able to see those transaction details.
If you do not have any merchant account with us or no longer use it, I request you to please contact your card issuing bank and file a dispute to get the refund.
I appreciate your understanding and patience.
Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.

I am rejecting this response because: I dont even know what a merchant account is? Im not sure why Im being charged for something if Im clearly not using it. These charges are unacceptable. If I were actively using a service from Amazon, I could understand charging me for them but I have no notification or understanding of these charges and why they are being incurred. Please do the right thing and make good on this or I will bring myself to close my Amazon account-this would be a loss for your company as I spend thousands on Amazon annually.
Sincerely,
************************************Initial Complaint
