      Complaint: 19858610

      I am rejecting this response because: ***** Fargo has been trying to protect me from charges I did not authorize since July 27, 2022. I shut down these reoccurring deliveries prior to that assistance.

      Sincerely,

      ********************************* Amazon charged a card I had with them so I shut down their card. They then used a ***** Fargo card and the bank shut down the card after vacating unauthorized charges. Amazon some how got my new ***** Fargo card, made new charges so this card was shut down. This effort to protect me has been repeated again.

      What I don't understand is why does Amazon insist on sending me items I don't want? I tried to interrupt the repeated deliveries on their sight, shut down the Amazon credit card and STILL they send these items.

      March 28, yesterday. I went to the sight and tried to locate and stop these deliveries. I could not find them so I tried to "archive" the orders.

      Then, yesterday. I spoken with Senator ************************* office and have been directed to the ************************ for The ************************.

      After reviewing the sight yesterday, I saw Amazon also tried to access two Chase cards and a Discover credit card! My new ***** Fargo card is visible on the site as well! Why, and how is Amazon getting my personal banking information?

      I wil send the new information to ***** Fargo for this investigation and will proceed as directed by the consumer complaint authorities in ********.

      Thank you again for assisting me in this matter. I am 78 years old, I am a survivor of a traumatic brain injury, and undergoing treatment for breast cancer so your help is appreciated.

      Please accept our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused by this situation. To help you with this, I've cancelled all the recurring deliveries so there won't be any further charges. Upon checking, I see that the card where charges were found was registered on our website on Thursday, December 8, 2022.

      We couldn't charge your selected payment method, so we charged your backup payment method. Backup payment methods helps us deliver your shipments and services on time. If there is a problem with your payment, we will automatically charge a backup from your Amazon Wallet for eligible products and services.

      You can delete a credit card from your list of payment options in Your Account (*******************************************). Just go to "Your Payments", then select the card you wish to edit on the left side of the page. The card opens in the center of the page, click 'Edit' under the card name. Select 'Remove from Wallet' to remove the card from your account.

      Amazon will never have access to your newly replaced cards until and unless it is added manually from customer's end.

      Thank you BBB. I appreciate your efforts in this matter. Perhaps if I had reached out to you in July of 2022, this would have stopped at that time.

      I received another email from this gentleman and thanked him for finally removing these "orders." However, my concern is; how did the new ***** Fargo card get registered with Amazon? Why did ***** have to shut down 3 other cards to protect my banking? 

      Additionally, how did the two Chase credit cards and a Discover card "migrate to the Amazon site? I took a scream shot for my records.

      I have heard from the Attorney General of the Commonwealth. They asked me to complete forms for their purposes. The process in their office can take up to 30 days.

      I will contact ***** Fargo and update them. I appreciate the protection ***** provides but this has been a repeated problem, before you got involved.

      Thank you again. I have told others of your help.

       

      Sincerely,

      Complaint: 19858270

      I am rejecting this response because:The current amount of $20 is not what i consider fair plus it is not showing up in my account.Also this happened two days in a row and when it did arrive monday i was never notified it was arriving . just got a knock on the door luckily i was home ,what is a fair compensation i dont know but the fact that its only $20  seems ridiculous and the new policy maximum for any incident is just $20.I ask you all, who read this ,if you were told you had to be home all day saturday and sunday and the website at amazon kept saying its on its way and it will arrive do you think $20 is fair compensation for losing a weekend . if i have to accept $20 then i want this open till at least you change or fix your policy for having to be at home to receive a order and the way your delivery updates are updating also the wording about will arrive by .because of this i had to be home to accept this i did not ask to have my package sent this way ,so i had to be home, to recieve it ,you forced me and never told me this before i bought it.

      I ordered a $460.09 swing set from Amazon on March 5, 2023, order number ending in (****). It was delivered on March 10, 2023, and the box was damaged; It has large rips and tears, and dents. I did not want to open it and try to assemble it because the looks of it I am pretty sure the item may be damaged too. So the very next day I requested to return the swing and to get a refund which Amazon promises and guaranteed I can get. The return was approved and I was supposed to get a prepaid return label to send it back, yet I get a label that requires ME TO PAY for the postage to return the very large swing set. I have made over 7 calls to Amazon and each time I am getting a promise to fix the issue as of today, March 27 2023 No Prepaid Label. Twice I was told that they were processing the refund because the merchant is not cooperating and that I don't have to do nothing they were scheduling the pick-up and I will have my reund in 5 days, I did't get a refund, I called back both times just to be told by other representives that I was lied to and no refunds has ever been processed. Four times there was an A to Z guarantee claims submitted by Amazon to Amazon for these same issues with no results. I have the emails to prove it and every time I called them in my phone's call log. Sometimes spending over an hour trying to explain to the customer service reps what I need to find out they don't explain it right in their system; with most of the time, I cannot understand what they are saying due to very heavy accents. All I need is a prepaid Label so I can get my money back. I should not have to pay to return an item that was sent to me damaged. Amazon reps all agree every time, yet they're not sending me the guaranteed return process and I am getting very stressed having to call them so many times, and don't trust the overseas reps anymore because they lied to me twice and the others won't even look through my account to see what is wrong or went wrong. PLEASE HELP ME.

      An Amazon driver stole an expensive industrial flatbed cart from the lobby of my building on March 12, 2023. We have film and photos of the driver. I reported the incident and submitted the photos. I requested that Amazon send us a replacement cart since they cost $300- $500. I live in a high-rise with over 100 residents. We order an enormous amount of products from Amazon 7 days a week. Their customer service told me that it was my responsibility to prove that there was a theft, and I did. They have not offered to replace the cart and instead have sent me vague emails that don't solve the problem. If you read the emails attached, they do not understand that I can't force my building manager to give me video footage. Perhaps they don't understand how an apartment building works. I did ask the manager, but she is not obliged to give me the footage. I did send them a photo of the driver stealing the cart. That should be proof enough. The stolen cart is essential for us to get our packages to our apartments, and it should be replaced by Amazon. I would also not like this thief to enter our building again. Since I have an Amazon account and I am a resident of my building, the cart was owned and paid for by me.

      March 27, 2023 From: ******************* To: Better Business Bureau My name is ******************* the sole and full owner of the TalVal LLC marketplace store on Amazon, my store merchant token is A2OHJ728LWTXX9, i am contacting you because my store has been deactivated by Amazon stated that i incurred in a violation in accordance with section 3 of Amazon's Business Solutions Agreement. With my store i had accepted all my responsibilities about the past errors I committed.My account presented a deactivation in their inventory lists first and I signed a contract to continue with my account in FBA (Amazon model) and this had been accepted, some time later my account was completely deactivated without the possibility of exercising any movement with my account, I have appealed the decision several times and I have not received any concrete response, I am quite worried because for months I have been receiving the same answer from Amazon, all the information they asked me to provide on different occasions, if my account is reactivated, I am satisfied that it can be managed in FBA, I have invested a lot of time, money and knowledge in this project. I am asking you to please help me to get some response from Amazon and help me to get my account back up and running, it is so frustrating to get the same answers every time despite my efforts to send all the information they need to re-open my account.Attached are some of the documents I have sent to Amazon along with the appeals.Sincerely,******************* ******************* ***********

      Hello,

      We have reviewed the sellers account and we are unable to reinstate their selling privileges.

      We took these actions because the seller has been in violation of our Drop Shipping policy.

      Under the terms of this sellers agreement with Amazon Services, we removed their selling privileges and placed a temporary hold on any funds in their seller account on November 29, 2022. We notified the seller of this decision by email on that day.


      Sincerely,

      Amazon

      Complaint: 19857270

      I am rejecting this response because:

      My Amazon seller account was deactivated again on November 28, 2022, and has remained inactive for nearly a year with no end in sight. I have been sending appeals to Amazon in the hopes of reinstating my account, but I have not received any substantive response or a detailed explanation as to why my account remains suspended.

      Instead, I merely receive the same automated message, time after time, stating that my account has been deactivated in accordance with Section 3 of Amazons Business Solutions Agreement and that, despite numerous detailed appeal submissions, Amazon does not have sufficient information to justify reactivating my account. It is clear from the robotic nature of these replies, as well as the immediacy with which my appeals are rejected, that Amazon is not actually reviewing my appeals or evaluating my case on its merits.

      To make matters worse, Amazon has locked me out of my Seller Central account, at this point, I am certain that Amazon has completed its review of my account and that there are no pending customer claims, chargebacks, refund requests, or other outstanding fees which might necessitate holding these funds any longer.  Furthermore, as the reason for my initial suspension was not related to any alleged deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity, there is no basis for Amazon to indefinitely keep my account deactivate, as per the above-referenced Business Solutions Agreement.

      I truly dont know where to turn for help: Amazon isnt considering my appeals. If I only knew the basis for Amazons decisions, I could take steps to cure any deficiencies and allay their concerns. Unfortunately, I remain almost totally in the dark and lacking any instructive guidance. 

      Accordingly, I must ask the Better Business Bureau for its assistance in this matter. I hope you can appreciate the seriousness of my predicament, which Im certain affects many other business owners and Amazon sellers. Please investigate this situation and do whatever you can to push Amazon to fairly consider my appeal, thank you.

      Sincerely,

      Hello *************************,

      I am Raman 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 see the concern you have shared and the response we provided earlier. The response provided was correct, as the charges are from a different account. We will not be able to issue any refunds at this time.

      The charge pertaining to the screenshots that you have shared is on the account linked to the email ending "0" as explained by my colleague earlier. 

      I have sent you an email to pause the Prime on that account, please log into the corresponding email account and you should see the email. 

      I hope this helps. 

      Regards,
      Raman R.
