      I purchased a sofa from my Amazon Business Prime account , which includes full refunds on items returned. I paid $474.10 for the sofa. It was a present for my daughter. Shortly after the purchase, we received notice that our daughter had to move to another location and the sofa was not needed anymore. We contacted Amazon immediately to request the refund. When they responded , they indicates that we'd be refunded for $320.00 instead of the full amount. MY complaint is due to the misleading business practice of Amazon that doesn't indicate that the refund (especially if one owns a business prime account, such as myself) will be determined by them--nor that it would be less than the full amount paid for an item. I called their **************** number, spoke with a representative who indicated it ws their decision to determine how much to refund, not the client. Again this is a complete misleading business practice that leaves the customer with no recourse that I know of (other than filing a complaint thru BBB) . They should be sued and forced to pay back the balance of refunds that I am certain now owe to millions of customers.

      Hello ******,

      I'm Praveen 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'm sorry for the issue you had with the refund.

      I see that the return reason was not due to an error from seller's end. Also it costs to return the item and also shipping it. In this case, the refund was only partial.

      You can check with the seller for further assistance. We are unable to issue refund in this case.

      We look forward to see you soon.

      Regards,
      Praveen M

      Complaint: 20279131

      I am rejecting this response because:
      When I purchased the sofa , in the "return Policy " window, it clearly says  ELIGIBLE FOR RETURN , REFUND OR REPLACEMENT WITHIN 30DAYS OF PURCHASE". I submitted the request 24 hours after the purchase; the sofa hadn't yet been shipped. First, the return policy doesn't indicate that the refund could be less than total amount paid, second, you had ample time to stop shipment considering that at the time of my request you still hadn't shipped the item . Finally, your return policy should have been clear that it would not be for the full amount of purchase-  I am attaching also a screen capture Dated June 23, 2023 --1 day after the purchase-- showing that you received the refund request prior to having shipped the item. Your stated reason (in the response you sent) to charge me  for the return shipping charges is not valid .
      Sincerely,

      ***************************

      *********************** There are more and more problems with purchases with Amazon.com. From the last complaint a few weeks ago about these growing demographic problems of these *********** Dropout Types working at the lower levels of amazon services. Now there are creative delivery problems where they take pictures of delivered items not at the address stated. Today (2023/07/05 wed 09:30am), amazon.com messaged me the delivery of four items delivered not at my stated address with picture showing items delivered not at the stated address and additionally "no delivery" of drink items (taken by delivery -personnels' for their own consumption x2 pack of "*************** Regular Soda"). There is no corrective entry for stating to amazon.com that there's no actual delivery of purchased items to stated address. So the only recourse is to state to the website that "wrong item was delivered" in order to request a replacement to be sent. Seems like the problem evolved from HomeDepot/Lowes delivery personnel problem of "missing parts" of delivered items are now squarely inside Amazon's lower level delivery workers. I want a resolution of Amazon to deliver my stated items today and not double charge me. I will end all future purchases from now on to help Amazon decline their business until the old more normal quality services return and do maybe small only low priced purchases in small amounts to help prevent arrogance of any personnel or business. Very disappointed at the embracing of high school dropout types' criminal ******** now at amazon.

      My name is *************** and my account is ********************** My account has been closed by amazon for no reasons. I tried to contact amazon but there is no response and no emails back. I still do not know why. I live with my other family members and I knew my dad's account has been closed by them but it is my dad, not me. I hope amazon can distinguish different people and get my account back as I still have lots of orders and gift card balance of *****b in my account. Thank you.

      Refound not issued for a product I purchased from an Amazon seller. Amazon states they have an A to Z guaranteed that if the seller does not give you a refund they will honor and refound you. The seller received all items in the same box but refounded only one item and kept the money for all other items. When I provided Amazon all proof they requested they decided to just close the claim and not issue a refound ignoring all proof received. Citing that the seller received the items late but that is not true. All items were received together in the same box with all provided shipping labels for each item. Upon reviewing the sellers reviews there are multiple people who this has happened to. The seller now has the product and my money. Order date Apr 8, 2023 Order #***-4640678-0072223 Order total $66.05 (3 items)Company name Kiwisota Amazon is allowing them to continue doing business in their site even after this complaints. Amazon is doing false advertising or regards to their A to Z guaranteed claims when dealing with missing refounds. Additionally, I was not allowed to review the seller with any warnings over the non issued refound or on any of their practices on Amazon website. Upon reviewing other ratings there are several claims for the same and other additional issues.

      Complaint: 20278709

      I am rejecting this response because: the items were returned on time.  One of the item was older by 8 day and it was in the same box as the other 3 items.  The older item with a price of a little more than 14 dollar was refunded but the newer items bout that amounted to more than 66 dollars were not refunded.  If that was the case why was the item the was purchased first and was older refounded if it was in the same box as the newly purchased items.  Additionally, Amazons A to Z claims they guarantee their vendor purchases returns.  ***** the reason I purchased from Amazon.  The vendor is lying and it has done this to many other  costumers.  Amazon is allowing them to plain out steal from costumers and not resolving the complaints or removing the vendor from the platform.  The vendor stole that money from me by keeping the money and the merchandise.

      I request a refund or the items and a revision to your advertising of the A to Z guaranteed so it's more reflective of the truth.  Additionally, I ask you to remove the vendor from the platform and to refound every costumer that has been scammed and los money to them.  I request a formal investigation into this matter.

      Sincerely,

      ORDER # ***-9129265-9212267 Item: DJI RS 3, 3-Axis Gimbal for DSLR and Mirrorless Camera Canon/Sony/Panasonic/Nikon/Fujifilm, 3 kg (6.6 lbs) Payload, Automated Axis Locks, 1.8" OLED Touchscreen, Professional Video Stabilizer I am writing to express my deep disappointment and frustration with the handling of my recent order cancellation request and subsequent delivery mishap. I have been a loyal Amazon customer for years, but the recent experience has left me incredibly dissatisfied.From the moment I placed the order, I realized that I needed to cancel it due to unforeseen circumstances. However, despite my repeated attempts to cancel the order, your representatives failed to assist me in a timely manner. Even when the item had not yet been shipped, they provided no resolution and dismissed my request, which was disheartening and contradictory to the customer-centric values ********************** prides itself on.When I contacted your customer support again after the item was shipped, I made it explicitly clear that I would be out of town and unable to receive the delivery. I hoped that, given the circumstances, an exception could be made to cancel the order. However, I was informed that once the item had been shipped, cancellation was no longer possible. This information was disheartening, as it seemed inconsistent with the previous interaction.To my surprise, on the day of delivery, I was told by one of your representatives that the delivery driver would require an *** (One-Time Password) to complete the delivery. I explicitly refused to provide the **** as I was not available to receive the package. I was assured that if the *** was not provided, the item would be returned to the facility, and a refund would be issued promptly. Unfortunately, despite no *** being given, the item was marked as delivered in the tracking status.Also there was no delivery snapshot provided to show that item is really delivered.

      Hello *****,

      I'm Harasankar 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've reviewed your complaint and checked with the concerned department in this matter.

      This order was sent using a one time password.  We're able to verify that, when the Delivery Associate delivered this parcel, the one time password we provided to the recipient was entered into their handheld device.

      We're unable to issue any replacement or refund for this order.

      If you haven't received the parcel, we request you to check with any other members of your household who may have accepted the order on your behalf.

      We look forward to seeing you again soon.

      Complaint: 20278516

      I am rejecting this response because:

      I was away from town and had already informed Amazon in advance that I would be unavailable, requesting them to cancel the order. However, despite my notice, the package was still sent out for delivery and ended up being delivered while no one was home due to our vacation. This situation has occurred previously as well, where the delivery personnel simply entered a phone number instead of using the passcode and falsely marked the package as delivered. It appears that Amazon's handling of such situations can be misleading to customers, and some drivers are marking packages as delivered without proper verification.

      Issue: My amazon account ************* ( I used my phone number as a username for my amazon account)was randomly locked for "unusual activity" on July 3rd, 2023 I ordered a graphic card for $299.99 on amazon on July 2, 2023.I went to amazon.com to check on the item I ordered on that same day and I noticed that something was wrong. I tried to look at my order and it wont let me, I tried to access the customer service and it logged me out of my account. When I tried to enter it again it says "account closed". I tried to talk to the customer service but its almost impossible to talk to them. I hope my Amazon account would be unlock and my order of $299.99 graphic card would be refunded too. Im hoping by filling this BBB complaint, the process actually gets looked into by a person whereas a automated system looping indefinitely.

On May 8,2023, I was in the process of redeeming the card to my account, when I finished with entering the claim number I hit the center button, it showed me on my screen that this card was already used. I called the number it showed me in the message, if there was a problem. I spoke to a sales associate, and explained my issue. I was told to go back to the store where I purchased the gift card. I went to the ********************* and told the lady what happened. She gave this paper on who to call for gift card issues. I called and spoke to lady named ******. She told me that, I was to contact Amazon because, when I bought the gift card that money goes to Amazon. ****** told me that they are suppose to give me my money back, and if they don't ask for a case number and a supervisors name. I called back and asked them for a case number, and was told that they can't give out that information. I was told the card was already redeemed. I was told it was redeemed by someone with the initials MJ. Was told they cannot tell me where or when it was used. I emailed Amazon back and told them that I filed a police report online, and when I get the case number I will email it to them. I then get a email back, wanting me to send a copy of the front and back of the gift card along with the receipt. I did that, and now was told they can not resolve this matter. Amazon can find out who used this card fraudulently and give me my $120.00 back.

      Dear BBB, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Amazon regarding the unjust suspension of my seller account (Merchant ID: *************** and the severe financial repercussions it has caused for my business. I urgently seek your assistance in resolving this matter. Since August 2022, I have been an Amazon seller, entrusting *************, **** with the management of my seller account. It was explicitly agreed upon that ************* would operate my account in strict adherence to Amazon's terms and conditions. I believed that they would utilize the reputable Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) model, ensuring compliance with Amazon's policies, particularly in prompt and reliable order fulfillment. Without my knowledge or consent, ************* had been fulfilling orders on my Amazon Store by purchasing products from alternative online retailers, such as Walmart.com, and shipping them directly to customers. Consequently, on August 23, 2022, my seller account was abruptly suspended, allegedly due to violations of Amazon's Selling Policies, Seller Code of Conduct, and Drop Shipping Policy, as explicitly stated in Section 3 of Amazon's Business Solutions Agreement. In response to this grievous situation, I took immediate and decisive action by severing all ties with ************* and revoking their access to my seller account, as clearly evidenced in the attached Exhibit A. It is crucial to note that prior to this incident, my seller account had maintained an impeccable track record, never having experienced suspension or disciplinary measures. As a reputable business entity, I am fully committed to fostering a positive relationship with Amazon while upholding unwavering standards of integrity and customer satisfaction. Since the suspension of my selling privileges, I have diligently provided Amazon's Seller Performance team with all the necessary information and supporting documentation required for the reinstatement of my seller account. I meticulously crafted a comprehensive plan of action, as outlined in Exhibit B, which demonstrates my unwavering dedication to rectifying any past shortcomings and preventing future policy violations. Additionally, I have furnished an invoice from **************** LLC, a trusted and verified supplier, as irrefutable evidence of my commitment to maintaining a legitimate and reliable supply chain, as illustrated in ****************** appeals, Amazon's Seller Performance team has consistently and unjustly denied my requests for reinstatement, disregarding the genuine efforts I have made to rectify the situation. This unjust denial not only severely undermines my business but also casts doubt upon the credibility of Amazon's appeals process. The deactivation of my seller account has had severe financial repercussions. Presently, Amazon is withholding approximately $80,727.70 USD, representing the hard-earned proceeds from my sales. These funds are crucial for the survival and growth of my business. Therefore, I implore you to consider the significant financial burden I am facing and expedite the resolution of this matter to mitigate the adverse impact on my business. Given the circumstances outlined, I implore your department to conduct an immediate review and re-evaluation of my case. I urge you to approach my appeal with utmost urgency and professionalism, fully recognizing the gravity of the situation and the imperative need for a fair and equitable resolution.

      Dear BBB,

      Thank you for your communication regarding the complaint I filed against Amazon. I appreciate your efforts in facilitating the resolution of this matter.

      However, I would like to clarify that as of this date, Amazon has not requested any additional information from me to complete their review of my account suspension. I have been diligently waiting for their
      communication and stand ready to provide any necessary documentation or details to support my case.

      Given the importance of resolving this issue promptly, I have taken proactive steps to ensure my compliance with Amazon's policies. I have prepared a comprehensive plan of action, as outlined in my initial complaint, and have provided an invoice from **************** LLC as evidence of my commitment to maintaining a legitimate and reliable supply chain.

      I understand the urgency of this matter and the potential impact it has on my business. It is disheartening that Amazon has not requested the information they require for their review. I am eager to provide any
      additional information they may need to reassess my appeal and conduct a fair and thorough review of the circumstances surrounding the suspension of my seller account.

      I kindly request your assistance in urging Amazon to communicate with me promptly, requesting the necessary information to complete their review. Once I receive their request, I will promptly provide them
      with all the requested documentation and any other pertinent details related to my case.

      I remain committed to cooperating fully and promptly with Amazon to address their concerns and rectify any issues that have led to the suspension of my seller account. I believe that a fair and equitable resolution can be achieved through effective communication and a thorough review of all available information.

      Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that with your assistance, we can expedite the resolution process and reach a satisfactory outcome.
      Should you require any further details or have any additional concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
      I appreciate your continued support in helping me resolve this issue.

      Dear BBB,

      I am writing in response to Amazons request for additional information to assist in the resolution of my complaint against Amazon regarding the unjust suspension of my seller account.

      I sincerely appreciate your attention to this matter and your commitment to helping me address the situation. To provide you with the requested information, I am including the following details:

      Evidence of Compliance: Since the suspension of my seller account, I have taken comprehensive steps to ensure strict adherence to Amazon's policies, including the Drop Shipping policy and Seller Code of Conduct. I have completely severed all ties with *************, ***** the third-party entity responsible for the unauthorized actions that led to the suspension. As a result, I am now solely responsible for managing and fulfilling orders on my Amazon Store. By doing so, I can guarantee that all products are sourced
      exclusively from legitimate and verified suppliers, such as **************** LLC, as demonstrated by the attached invoice. This ensures the authenticity and reliability of the items offered to Amazon customers.

      Rectifying Logistics Issues: I understand the importance of efficient and reliable order fulfillment. In the past, the unauthorized actions of ************* had a detrimental impact on the logistics of my business. However, I have since taken corrective measures to address these issues. I have implemented a more streamlined and efficient supply chain process, ensuring that all orders are fulfilled promptly and accurately. In addition, you will find a comprehensive plan of action attached detailing the improvements made to rectify any past logistics challenges and prevent future occurrences.

      I truly value my business relationship with Amazon and am fully committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity and customer satisfaction. The suspension of my seller account has had severe financial repercussions, with approximately $80,727.70 USD being withheld by Amazon. These funds are vital for the survival and growth of my business, and I am eager to resolve this matter swiftly.

      I implore your department to conduct an immediate review and re-evaluation of my case, taking into account the evidence and efforts presented to rectify the situation. I kindly request that you approach my appeal with the utmost urgency and professionalism, recognizing the gravity of the situation and the imperative need for a fair and equitable resolution.

      Thank you for your understanding and assistance in this matter. I am looking forward to a prompt resolution, and I trust that your involvement will help ensure a just outcome.

      I am rejecting this response due to the following:

      Dear BBB, 

      I am writing in response to the BBB complaint regarding the suspension of my Amazon seller account.  Thank you for providing this opportunity to address the matter and clarify the situation. 

      Initially, my account was suspended by Amazon due to concerns related to drop shipping practices. In  response, I took immediate action to rectify the issue by discontinuing any drop shipping activities and  ensuring strict adherence to Amazon's policies. I communicated my corrective actions to Amazon and  provided all necessary details to demonstrate my commitment to compliance. 

      Despite my sincere efforts to rectify the situation and comply with Amazon's requirements, my seller  account remains suspended. It has come to my attention that Amazon alleges my account to be related to  another account that *** have violated their policies. 

      I want to make it clear that I have no knowledge of any other Amazon seller account associated with mine.  However, I must acknowledge that I previously engaged a third-party service provider, *************, to  manage certain aspects of my Amazon store. This service provider was responsible for optimizing product  listings, managing inventory, and handling customer inquiries. 

      Given that my account was under the management of the third-party service provider, it is plausible that  the alleged related account could have resulted from their actions or association. I have since ceased any  collaboration with ************* to assume full control and responsibility for my seller account. 

      I deeply value my status as an Amazon seller and the trust of my customers. It is of utmost importance to  me to maintain the integrity of my business and uphold Amazon's policies. I have always prioritized  transparent and ethical business practices. 

      I kindly request the BBB's assistance in mediating this matter with Amazon to reinstate my seller account.  I am willing to cooperate fully and provide any additional information or evidence required to demonstrate  my account's independence from any other account and my unwavering commitment to Amazon's policies.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      Dear BBB,

      I am reaching out to both provide a comprehensive update on the situation surrounding my suspended Amazon seller account and to inquire about the specific information Amazon requires to proceed with reinstatement. We have diligently gathered and shared all pertinent information available to us in response to the BBB complaint.

      At the outset, Amazon suspended my account due to concerns related to drop shipping practices. In response, I swiftly took action by discontinuing all drop shipping activities and meticulously adhering to Amazon's policies. I promptly communicated these corrective actions to Amazon, submitting all relevant details to emphasize my unwavering commitment to compliance.

      Despite our genuine efforts to rectify the situation and align closely with Amazon's stipulations, our seller account remains in suspension. Amazon asserts that our account *** have an association with another account allegedly in violation of their policies. I want to unequivocally emphasize that I have no knowledge of any other Amazon seller account linked to mine. Nevertheless, it is important to acknowledge our past engagement with a third-party entity, *************, tasked with overseeing specific aspects of our Amazon store operations. ************* was responsible for tasks such as optimizing product listings, managing inventory, and handling customer
      inquiries.

      Given this context, it is plausible that the alleged association with another account could have originated from actions or affiliations related to the third-party service provider. Consequently, we have since severed all connections with *************, assuming full control and accountability for the management of our seller account.

      Maintaining the integrity of our business and upholding the trust placed in us by our customers are fundamental values as Amazon sellers. We are dedicated to conducting our operations with transparency and ethical standards as guiding principles.

      With this in mind, we earnestly request the BBB's intervention to engage with Amazon and expedite the resolution of this matter, enabling the reinstatement of our seller account. In this regard, we kindly seek clarification regarding the specific information or evidence that Amazon requires to confirm the independence of our account from any other and to reaffirm our steadfast commitment to Amazon's policies.

      We appreciate your attention to this critical matter and remain hopeful for a swift and positive resolution.

They continue to withhold substantial funds. Their response is the same each time, 'we need more information' but no information is requested. Please see my official statement below.

      Dear BBB,

      I am writing in response to Amazon's recent communication regarding the suspension of my seller account. In my initial correspondence, I meticulously detailed my tireless efforts to provide Amazon with the necessary information and accepted full responsibility for any account violations. Regrettably, I find myself compelled to address the frustrating roadblocks encountered while seeking the reinstatement of my account, primarily due to an alleged association with another account that had run afoul of Amazon's policies.

      Subsequent to my initial communication with Amazon, I took great pains to outline the proactive measures I have vigorously implemented to address their concerns. These measures encompass an immediate discontinuation of drop shipping practices and a steadfast commitment to upholding every facet of Amazon's policies. Additionally, I forthrightly disclosed my prior affiliation with a third-party service provider, *************, which may have triggered the aforementioned account association. I want to underscore that my association with ************* has been unequivocally severed, and my unwavering dedication to conducting business ethically and transparently remains unwavering.

I insist upon further elucidation from Amazon regarding the precise information or evidence requisite for verifying the complete autonomy of my account from any other, and I reiterate my absolute commitment to upholding Amazon's policies, leaving no room for ambiguity.

      I am writing in response to Amazon's latest communication regarding the suspension of my seller account. I want to express my deep frustration with the ongoing situation. Despite our ten responses to Amazon's requests, we have yet to reach a resolution. This unresolved issue, which has lingered since July, has had catastrophic consequences for my business.

      In my prior communications, I painstakingly detailed my extensive efforts to provide Amazon with the requested information and expressed my full acceptance of responsibility for any account violations. Nevertheless, the vexing obstacles I have encountered in my efforts to reinstate my account persist, and they continue to adversely affect my business operations.

      The primary issue revolves around an alleged connection with another account that had previously breached Amazon's policies. Amazon has mentioned another seller account that seemingly conflicts with Recreation +Park. I was able to gain access to an account with the identifier 'af1jme'. This account contains outdated personal information that has never been utilized for selling or any other commercial activities. The sudden emergence of this issue has left me perplexed, as I am unaware of when or by whom this account was initiated. The personal information associated with 'af1jme' dates back more than five years, and I had no prior selling history on Amazon before embarking on my current business venture.

      In addition to addressing this account concern, I have been forthright in disclosing my past association with a third-party service provider, *************. It is possible that this association triggered the aforementioned account link. It is crucial to emphasize that my ties with ************* have been unequivocally severed, and my unwavering commitment to conducting business with the utmost ethics and transparency remains unwavering.

      Having presented comprehensive information, I now seek the invaluable assistance of BBB to firmly engage with Amazon and urgently demand a swift resolution to my account suspension. This suspension has not only persisted since July but has also gravely impacted my business due to Amazon's reluctance to assist in its resolution. I insist on obtaining further clarification from Amazon regarding the specific information or evidence required to verify the complete autonomy of my account from any other. I reiterate my absolute commitment to adhering to Amazon's policies without any room for ambiguity.

The suspension, which has persisted since July, has had a devastating impact on my business due to Amazon's reluctance to assist in its resolution.

      I insist on obtaining further clarification from Amazon regarding the specific information or evidence required to verify the complete autonomy of my account from any other. I want to reiterate my unwavering commitment to adhering to Amazon's policies without any room for ambiguity.

      Despite forcefully communicating my concerns to Amazon over the course of months, the issue remains unresolved, and the impact on my business is undeniable. I will settle for nothing less than a swift and definitive resolution to this matter.

      I urge your unwavering and immediate attention to this case, which has persisted for too long, and I hope that, with your assistance, we can finally bring it to a satisfactory conclusion.

      Sincerely,

      *********************

      Dear BBB,
      I am writing to express my frustration regarding the prolonged suspension of my Amazon seller account, which has persisted since July. I have provided all requested information, taking responsibility for any account violations, but the issue remains unresolved, causing severe consequences for my business.

      The central problem revolves around an alleged connection with another account, 'af1jme,' of which I have no prior knowledge. This account's outdated information, never used for commercial activities, has inexplicably affected my account. I have severed ties with any previous associations, such as DBC Solutions, and am committed to ethical and transparent business practices.

      I have appealed to Amazon's Legal Department, but a resolution is pending. I seek BBB's assistance in engaging with Amazon for an urgent resolution. Despite my continuous efforts, the lack of cooperation from Amazon has prolonged the impact on my business.

      I request your immediate attention to ensure a swift and definitive resolution. I am committed to adhering to Amazon's policies and seek clarification on the specific information needed to verify the autonomy of my account.

      Your prompt assistance is crucial in bringing this matter to a satisfactory conclusion.

      Dear BBB,

      I am writing to seek your urgent assistance regarding the continued suspension of my Amazon seller account, a situation that has persisted since July. Despite my proactive efforts to provide all requested information and take responsibility for any account violations, the issue remains unresolved, causing severe consequences for my business.

      The primary concern revolves around an alleged connection with another account, 'af1jme,' of which I have no prior knowledge. This account's outdated information, never utilized for commercial activities, has inexplicably impacted my account. It's important to note that I have severed all ties with previous associations, including DBC Solutions, and remain steadfast in my commitment to ethical and transparent business practices.

      In my pursuit of a resolution, I have appealed to Amazon's Legal Department, but unfortunately, a resolution is still pending. At this critical juncture, I am reaching out to the Better Business Bureau for assistance in engaging with Amazon to expedite a swift and definitive resolution. Despite my continuous efforts, the lack of cooperation from Amazon has prolonged the impact on my business. Moving forward, I would like to inform you that I have decided to fulfill my orders through Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), believing it will enhance the overall efficiency of my operations.

      Furthermore, I would like to highlight that I have a verifiable supplier, Petra Industries LLC, for which I have previously provided an invoice. This supplier relationship adds credibility to my business, and I am more than willing to furnish any additional documentation if required.

      I kindly request your immediate attention to ensure a swift and conclusive resolution to this matter. I am committed to adhering to Amazon's policies and seek clarification on the specific information needed to verify the autonomy of my account.

      Your prompt assistance is crucial in bringing this issue to a satisfactory conclusion, and I appreciate your attention to this matter.

      Dear BBB,

      I am reaching out to urgently seek your assistance in resolving the ongoing suspension of my Amazon seller account, which has persisted since July. Despite my proactive efforts to provide all requested information and take responsibility for any account violations, the issue remains unresolved, negatively impacting my business.

      The primary concern centers around an alleged connection with another account, 'af1jme,' of which I had no prior knowledge. This account, which contains outdated information such as an old email address and an old credit card, this account has never been utilized for commercial activities, is inexplicably affecting my account. It's crucial to note that I have severed all ties with previous associations, including DBC Solutions, and remain committed to ethical and transparent business practices. At this critical juncture, I am seeking the Better Business Bureau's assistance in engaging with Amazon to expedite a swift and definitive resolution. Despite my continuous efforts, Amazon has been unresponsive to the issue, causing prolonged disruptions to my business.

      I want to clarify that we are receiving responses for the related account 'af1jme' and not the root account. Amazon has evaded addressing the issue adequately, adding to the challenges faced in resolving this matter. Moving forward, I have decided to fulfill my orders through Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), believing it will enhance the overall efficiency of my operations. Additionally, I would like to emphasize that I have a verifiable supplier, Petra Industries LLC, for which I have previously provided an invoice.

      I am rejecting this response:

      Dear BBB,

      I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to provide a follow-up on my previous communication regarding the ongoing suspension of my Amazon seller account. Despite our concerted efforts to demonstrate compliance with Amazon's drop shipping policy and seller code of conduct, we continue to face challenges in resolving the matter.

      To date, we have diligently provided all the requested information to showcase our account's adherence to Amazon's guidelines. However, Amazon's responses have remained consistent and unyielding, creating significant disruptions to our business operations since July.

      The primary issue revolves around an alleged association with another account, 'af1jme,' of which we had no prior knowledge. Despite the outdated information and the account's lack of commercial activity, it continues to impact our account's status negatively. It is important to reiterate that we have severed all ties with previous associations, including DBC Solutions, and are committed to upholding ethical and transparent business practices.

      In our interactions with Amazon, we have emphasized that we are receiving responses for what Amazon mistakenly claims to be a related account, 'af1jme', and not the root account. Unfortunately, Amazon has not adequately addressed this issue or responded to our inquiries, further complicating the resolution process.

      As a proactive measure, we have decided to transition to Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) for order fulfillment, believing that this will enhance the overall efficiency of our operations. We believe this step will underscore our commitment to fulfilling orders in compliance with Amazon's policies. Additionally, I would like to inform you that I have taken legal action against DBC Solutions for misleading me into believing that Amazon permits drop shipping. The lawsuit against DBC Solutions underscores our commitment to rectifying any past associations that may have contributed to the current situation. We believe that addressing the root cause of misinformation is essential in maintaining the integrity of our business and ensuring compliance with Amazon's policies. I trust that this additional information provides a comprehensive overview of our efforts to resolve the matter and reinforces our commitment to ethical business practices.

      At this critical juncture, we seek the Better Business Bureau's intervention to engage with Amazon on our behalf, urging them to expedite a swift and definitive resolution to this matter. Despite our continuous efforts, Amazon has remained unresponsive, prolonging the challenges we face in restoring our account.

      We kindly request your immediate attention to this matter and appreciate your assistance in bringing this issue to a satisfactory conclusion. We remain committed to adhering to Amazon's policies and seek clarification on the specific information needed to verify the autonomy of our account.

      Thank you for your prompt assistance, and we look forward to a positive resolution.

      Sincerely,
