      Hi,I placed an order on 26th Oct on Amazon.com for 6 items that worth $2,812.94 (including tax). It was a gift to someone and I wanted it to be delivered before 28th Oct.After few minutes I receive an email that my Amazon account is put on hold because of an unusually activity and your order is cancelled. I contacted Amazon customer support and it asked me to provide necessary documents, so I uploaded my bank statement and driver's license to prove that I placed that order and account belongs to me but they responded they did not receive any documents.I also have an Amazon seller account because of this hold my seller account is locked as well and they hold my funds that is around $10,000. However my store is still active, I am receiving orders daily, customer messages and return request but I am unable to respond them because I am locked out from my seller account as well.It has been two weeks that I am calling Amazon customer support and accounts and login department daily to off hold my account but after two weeks of struggling they email me that they have decided to close my Amazon Buyer's account and they will not respond to further emails.It is so frustrating that I made a legit transaction and provide them all the documents and I have been selling with same account for more than two years and now they decided to close my account however I have provided them all the requested documents to prove that account belong to me.Please help me out to regain access to my account because ********************** is not helping and they close this account by mistake.Thank you

      I am rejecting this response because: I did receive an email from Amazon asking for the additional documents and I provided them and explained them that my account was locked because of misunderstanding and I am rightful owner of this account. They said you can expect a response within 24 hours but after five days I did not heard from them.

      Amazon took more than forty days to ask for additional documents so that they can verify the account ownership and that delay leads to my Amazon store deactivation. Now I am waiting for them to first off hold my buyer's account and after that I have to contact seller support to reactivate my Amazon store. This is ridiculous that Amazon temporarily locked my out from my store for no reason and I was a professional seller for almost three years.

      I want you immediately off hold my buyer's account and reinstate my selling privileges'.

      I am rejecting this response because: They asked me to provide utility bill and said that they will respond within 24 hours. It has been four days since I sent them the requested document but no one respond to that email. When I submit the document I receive an automated email that You sent an email to an address that does not accept incoming emails. Why they asked me to provide document via email that do not accept incoming emails?

      It has been almost three months since my account was locked and I want my account unlocked asap.

      I am rejecting this response because: I am not asking for details on your investigation method, I don't care about my Amazon buyer's account but what I am asking is to unlock my seller central account.

      I have been selling on Amazon for more than three years without a problem, all the details are legitimate. My seller account was temporarily locked because same email address is for my buyer's account. I have been requesting this for the past four months that unlock my seller account so that I can withdraw my funds and resume selling activities.

      You guys closed my buyer's account unnecessarily, the transaction that trigger unusual activity was done myself, this is the first time that I purchase from Amazon and this is what I get.

      I am requesting to unlock my seller central account please.

      My Amazon Seller account, "Medical Plus," trademarked under ****** Industries, was unexpectedly shut down 10 days ago due to an alleged affiliation with an account named ******************. I promptly contacted the affiliate, who provided a written statement with a signature affirming that ****************** was a separate entity from Medical Plus. Despite this evidence, the appeal process yielded no resolution, and when they contacted the same customer service, they were told that their account was affiliated with Phonelaps786. The language barrier with overseas customer service has hindered resolution, and the confusion persists due to the geographical separation between my business in Long Island and the affiliate's operations in Monroe County, ********. The closure has resulted in substantial business losses, and I am seeking assistance in rectifying this situation.

      I have been attempting to resolve an issue with Amazon for the past six weeks. My account has been wrongly restricted due to an accusation of affiliation with another account. Despite providing evidence such as no matching bank account, phone number, or address, Amazon claims the restriction is due to the same IP address being used. When contacting Amazon Seller support, I am consistently disconnected while waiting for a representative. I urgently need assistance in reactivating my account. I have submitted trademark paperwork for the account, but proving no affiliation with the accused account is challenging as the other person made their account without any supporting documentation. I am seeking a solution as I am running out of options.

      My Amazon account was unexpectedly closed due to an association with someone who had a banned account, despite my adherence to all Amazon guidelines. This connection was based on a shared Wi-Fi connection. I believe this action is unjust and has resulted in significant financial losses over the past three months. I am distressed by this situation and seek resolution.

      My Amazon account was recently closed due to an issue with another company, Mina ********** which operates within the same building as my office and uses the same IP address. Despite submitting multiple appeals to Amazon, demonstrating that my trademark and business are distinct and providing individual leases for both companies, Amazon continues to reject my evidence and refuses to reactivate my account. This situation has caused significant distress, especially as Amazon is holding $1,300 of my funds.

      I purchased this order on 10/3/23. It arrived on 10/12/23. It arrived in two boxes, one box read 10 foot awning the other box read 6 foot awning. I reached out to the seller and let them know that they sent me two separate orders and that the 10 foot awning box was missing the nuts and bolts and canvas awning. I initiated a return since the order arrived with missing parts. The seller has only approved one box to be returned. Amazon has reached out to the seller several times asking for another shipping authorization return, however, the seller refuses to reply. I opened an A-to-Z complaint with amazon, but it was denied and closed out by A-to-Z complaints, which handles third party sellers, with no reason given. Amazon has since opened three more A-to-Z complaints. The last complaint was open yesterday. Amazon advised me that they would reimburse me for the return shipping, even though the purchased arrived with missing parts, but told me to wait until the seller provides me with the second return authorization. The boxes are large and heavy and can't be combined together.

      Hi,

      I mailed the awning in the two separate boxes that they arrived in.  That are scheduled to be delivered to the address provided to me by the seller tomorrow, 11/21/23.  I have since googled the address and it shows to be a residence.  Not sure if they provided me with a bogus address.

      So far I am out approximately $600 for the awning and $300 for the return shipping.

      I did everything I was told to do.  When will I get my money back?  The awning arrived with missing parts, not sure why I had to pay out of pocket for the return shipping.

      What is the next step?

      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.

      Complaint: 20854364

      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 LLC

      I am sorry I missed the 7 day window, I would like to keep this complaint open. Amazon stated that my funds would not be released and that their decision was final. Attached in the email sent in June of ********************************************** to prove to them all of my documents of my appeal and I gladly complied. I did everything they asked and they still denied my funds. Now they replied on BBB stating my appeal is under review? That is simply NOT true! They know what they did was wrong and that's why they are not being honest.

      Upon checking my email there is not an email where they are requesting any documents from me. Nevertheless, all documents have been submitted during my complaint and before as well directly to them. 

      Please advise, 

      Amazon is requesting documents that I have already submitted. 

      What are my next steps now? They are giving the run around! 

      Please advise,

      I had requested a return for 2 infant swaddle/sleep sacks. I selected return by pick up. Items were left on ****** in amazon prime package with a note advising of tracking numbers. Driver who picked up the return package also took my baby carseat base which is my property and not part of the return. I have notified amazon as well as the courier who was contracted by amazon that my property was taken by the driver . They have left me without means of transportation for my infant. And i am looking for compensation for the purpose of replacing my babies carseat as well as all other losses incured due to their negligence

      Hello ******,

      Thank you for your response!

      In continuation to our correspondence, as the product is outside 30 days return window we won't be able to accept return. 

      We recommend you to please contact the manufacturer for assistance and you can get the details from product page under "Warranty & Support". Their contact information should be in the product manual or on the packaging for the item.

      Most manufacturers list contact information online. You may want to try doing a web search to find *********** phone number or website. 

      Please be assured that we would definitely work on your feedback and ensure that such issues do not arise in future.

      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.
