Hello,
I am Mahendra 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.
Upon reviewing the complaint details, I see that you are referring to the charge related to your prime account.
Based on account details, we can see that there is no charges made on your account. I request your bank and raise dispute if you get charged so that no charges will be repeated.
We appreciate your time and patience in this regards. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

In June i placed in order through amazon, im not a prime user and it offered me 30 days of ********************** free, so i accept so that my order will be cheaper and arrive quicker (promised 2 day prime delivery) the 2 day wasnt offered unless i signed up for prime, delivery was set for sunday 7/2. sunday comes around no updates on tracking just an email update that says they are running a day behind. Monday comes around still no tracking update, mind you the next day is a federal holiday and a rare day off from work i planned to use to play with my new order all day long. monday comes amazon says were not gonna deleiver until 7/5 now again no tracking update, and the update says if its not delievered by 7/5 they will give me a refund. at this point they emailed me to review the product I bought that again hasnt delievered. I went to reach out to amazon for help, and thats not an option you cant. amazon also refused to post the review they asked me to give, because it painted there service negatively. They are hiding low scoring reviews and lying outright about there services and practices. 7/5 ends still not delivered, *** tracking says they havent gotten past the prelabel stage, the update that says if not delievered by 7/5 you can have a refund changed when they changed the deleivery date. At this point ive been jerked around and lied too a bunch, they havent even started on the package that was due 5 days ago, theres no sense of urgency or help, and i wouldnt have signed up for prime if they werent promising 2 day delievery. There is no way that these practices are legal.Business Response

I placed an order with Amazon.com and paid with ZIP (quadpay) who paid for said purchase IN FULL and I pay them back in 4 payments. I have already paid first payment and they have already paid for the entire order in full. I pay 4 payments of *****, for a total of *****. Now as this order ships I am being charged again for full prices of items already paid for. I spoke to an Amazon representative on 07/05 @10:05 pm to let him know I was being charged twice. He said he could see where I had in fact paid for the order already and was being charged again, and ask if he could get a different department to call me back that could refund my money . That phone call never came so I called back today and spoke to a different representative (Trace). This representative said it was not a charge but a authorization. Except there is NO Authorization because they order is paid. She argued telling me she could not transfer me to another person and did not refund my money. I want the amount taken from my Amazon account placed back on my Amazon account and for (Trace) to be re educated on her job. The total taken was ***** and *****.Business Response

Amazon sends me an email my product is delivered even the driver takes the picture which is NOT my address. They claim it was delivered but I know by now i was delivered to the wrong address. They ask me to check k my neighbors but by the picture my complex does not have that appearance I keep on complaining but to no avail If gave them address instructions it is in Riverbay Gardens between ************ Blvd & still it is the driver who drops off what I ordered some where else probably because his navigator is wrong as my address is new, ********** & Fed Ex have no problem delivering except Amazon a multi billion dollar company.

Greetings, My seller account was deactivated in error on Amazon.ca. Amazon is completely inactive. They declined my documents and the appeal without any valid reasons. When they rejected my documents, I lost my money due to their negligence. I do not have any other accounts because it's prohibited. My account Sharelornsdstore was deactivated due to related to "******* Sunshine Store" seller account. The real owner of this seller account is *********************************. ********************************* was my ex-employee. But I stopped working with him a long time ago due to the threat of violating Amazon Policies on his part. I have never been a fan of infringement and have always followed the Amazon Policies. Therefore, I terminated association with ********************************* in advance so as not to be implicated in violating Amazon Policies. I have always been an honest seller and remain the same. Amazon is ruining my companys reputation as a seller. The deactivation of my account hit my rating hard. In fact, I have not violated any of Amazon Policies. Amazon's arguments are unfounded. As you may see from the attached documents, I started employment cooperation with ********************************* on December 7, 2021 (see Employment Contract). On April 18, 2022 I notified ********************************* about termination of our employment relationship (The Employee Termination Letter is enclosed). ********************************* and I conducted a meeting where we signed and notarized all other documents to finally terminate our employment relationship (please, check Employment Termination Agreement and Letter of Settlement Payments). But Amazon Support does not show any desire to really look into my problem and clean up the reputation of my company, which Amazon illegally ruined. Therefore, I request Amazon Support to review my Plan of Action, documents I attached, and reinstate my account.I kindly ask you to reactivate my seller account Sharelornsdstore.Best regards!Business Response

On 7/3/2023 I purchased an e gift card on Amazon.com for $320.00. On 7/5/2023 I received an email that my Amazon account was closed due to gift card violation. I requested an appeal and I filled out the form requesting proof that I was the one that purchased the gift card. I sent in information and it said appeal denied and my account is closed and they will no longer communicate with me further. I had almost a $2,000 gift card balance that was loaded on my account that has been lost. I also had 2 packages that they told me were damaged in transit that were being returned back to Amazon and when they were returned they would credit me back for these which would add an additional $2,000 to my gift card balance. All this has been lost because they closed my account.Business Response

After that, I rescheduled my appointment right away.The second appointment was planned for 5/26/2023 at 11:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time.To complete our identity verification, I prepared the physical copies of the following documents: - ID Document.- Credit card statement associated with our Amazon selling account. - Invoices for all the ASINs. Amazon Associate asked to confirm the relevance of the address, charge, and deposit methods. I told him my company is in the process of a change of address procedure, and we plan to change it in a week. The agent told me I should update this information and make another appointment with new documents. He assured me that I would be able to do that. On May 30, 2023, I updated our charge and deposit methods.On the next day, May 31, while updating my Business Address, I received a letter of my accounts deactivation.

Amazon Associate asked to confirm the relevance of the address, charge, and deposit methods. I told him my company is in the process of a change of address procedure, and we plan to change it in a week. The agent told me I should update this information and make another appointment with new documents. He assured me that I would be able to do that.
I passed that verification. Still, I needed to update our company's business address, charge and deposit methods, and get new documents ready with new data (such as the credit card and bank statements) for the next video interview.
