ORDER # ***-6914290-3161840 I Purchased NEW toy to bring to a friends' kid's birthday party. It arrived USED with water droplets in the tubing, which was bent and likely to malfunction, and the cap was discolored (looks yellowed in person). I attempted to get a replacement, only to find that the replacement would arrive while I was out of town, attending the party. I canceled the replacement and spoke with AMAZON's agent about getting a refund, instead. She guaranteed a refund and then EXPLICITLY said not to return the product, so I donated it to Goodwill (an organization that collects used products for families in need). I come back over a week later, and there's NO REFUND credited to either my account or credit card. I contact customer service AGAIN and after forwarding me to another agent, she says, "sorry for the false promise" and then she hangs up on me after telling me she would help me file a complaint against the agent. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHIN THE course of 2 weeks, which is well within the RETURN/REFUND WINDOW. This complaint is about holding Amazon accountable for the misinformation and "false promises"/lies their agents say to appease customers, without any intention of honoring their policies. As you can see in the screenshot, I explicitly asked for the return information to return the product before the agent said to discard it.

Greetings!My concern is regarding the listing deactivation due to the baseless reason. Amazon is absolutely inactive. Their irresponsibility led to lostment of my funds because I am unable to sell the items.My listing, namely ASIN B0C3S6NLYV, was deactivated due to the complaint (Complaint ID: ***********). Based on the provided information, it appears that the complainant, Pocket Hose ************************** ), has made a false claim of patent infringement against me, and Amazon has removed the listing in error. As a result, we suffer economic harm due to the loss of sales and request that B0C3S6NLYV be immediately reinstated.Amazon states that we should wait for a retraction from the rights owner, Pocket Hose. We should not have to wait for a retraction from the complainant, as he is NOT the rights owner of my goods. Amazon did not try to investigate and find out that we sell DIFFERENT items. The Law Firm "Solver" has done deep and detailed patent research comparing their patented utility to my product and has confirmed that they are entirely dissimilar. I attached this document, "Patent research_Solver Law Firm."I emailed the complainant on June 20, 2023, and included the legal document "Patent research" from Solver Law Firm, along with a detailed explanation of the issue, but no response has been received to date. The complainant absolutely ignored my emails.I cannot provide a retraction from the complainant because he is not the rights owner of my goods. Pocket Hose and I sell totally different items. He falsely claimed that we are in violation of his utility patent US ********** B2: Expandable and Contractible garden hose (see the attachment "Complainant`s patent"). This utility patent does not cover our product, as the patented utility differs entirely from ours. I kindly ask you to reactivate ASIN B0C3S6NLYV immediately.

Complaint: 20272892

I am rejecting this response because:Amazon automatically rejects my appeals. How did I understand that? Amazon is asking for a retraction from the rights holder or a court order.
The person who filed the complaint IS NOT THE RIGHT OWNER OF MY ITEM. His utility patent does not cover my product because our products are different.
The complainant, Pocket Hose ************************** ), has made a false claim of patent infringement against me. I should not have to wait for a retraction from the complainant, as he is NOT the rights owner of my goods. Pocket Hose and I sell totally different items. He falsely claimed that we are in violation of his utility patent.
I reached out to the law company and Law Firm "Solver," which has done deep and detailed patent research comparing their patented utility to my product and has confirmed that they are entirely dissimilar. I attached this document, "Patent research_Solver Law Firm."
I cannot provide retraction because the complainant Pocket Hose is NOT the right owner of MY ITEMS. His utility patent does not cover my products.
Please investigate my issue and the attachment in detail and reactivate ASIN B0C3S6NLYV.

I am rejecting this response because:Amazon doesn't understand documents at all. I send the required documents, explain and get a boilerplate response.

A retraction from the rights owner - the complainant is NOT the right owner of my goods. That is why I cannot provide the retraction. The complainant completely ignores me. He abuses my rights and does not allow me to solve the problem.

As the item was reported for IP infringement, the seller will have to remove any offending information and appeal through the link below as the appeal must be addressed by the correct team within Amazon for review:

Complaint: 20272892

I am rejecting this response because: Amazon's response is not relevant to my query and issue. Unfortunately, they don't read what I write. The Amazon team is not competent in handling IP cases and disputes. It is impossible to submit a visual complaint when the complainant is not the owner of my product. Asking for documents that are not relevant to the situation is very unprofessional and terrible. No one will compensate me for the losses I am currently suffering.

Below are the arguments that confirm Amazon's inaction and my innocence:
1. "As the item was reported for IP infringement, the seller will have to remove any offending information" - my product does not infringe other peoples rights, especially the complainant. The complainant's patent does not cover my product, so he does not own my product. There can be no corrections to the listing because I do not violate it.

2. "appeal through the link below as the appeal must be addressed by the correct team within Amazon for review" - I sent an appeal with evidence through this appeal channel. Result: My appeal was rejected without good reason. Amazon support couldn't explain the reason to me.

3. "If the appeal is not accepted, we would not have further information as to the specifics for why" - Amazon needs a response to the complaint from the right holder. I repeat dozens of times that the complainant is NOT the owner of my product. I tried to contact him to withdraw the complaint. As a result, the complainant completely ignored me, a total abuse of my rights.

Why is anyone allowed to complain and then be ignored? Right now, my business is partially on hiatus because I can't sell a product that DOESN'T infringe on anyone's rights. I lose money, I miss opportunities that no one will compensate me for later.
I kindly ask you to reactivate ASIN B0C3S6NLYV immediately.

Sincerely,

We purchased a computer monitor shipped and fulfilled by Amazon with Free Returns. There was no mention of a restocking fee, and our purchase was made through Prime. After much digging and reading all the fine print, we found that there was a restocking fee for open boxed items. However, our item was returned unopened, so the fee shouldn't apply. Additionally, we were wrongly charged for shipping, which should have been free.We filed a claim with Amazon and provided additional information in December 2022. However, we never received a response, so we followed up four times. Each representative assured us that we would be refunded. When we reached out again around May 29th, the representative was rude and informed us that we wouldn't receive a refund, despite having screenshots supporting all the previously mentioned details. Determined to resolve the issue, I contacted Amazon once more, and the next representative stated that the claim didn't receive the requested additional information. However, on my end, the user portal indicates that the requested information was submitted each time within a day or two of the requests. The representative reopened the claim and assured me that I would receive a response within 48 hours. Unfortunately, I didn't receive any communication, so I called again. The subsequent representative informed me that the claim had been closed, although we were never notified, nor does the user portal indicate that a decision was made. They reopened the claim and promised a response within 48 hours, which I again didn't receive. I reached out once more, and they escalated the issue, assuring me that I would hear back within 48 hours. However, it has now been over a week, and I still haven't received a reply. Additionally, I have attempted to contact the seller, but they have not responded either.We have screenshots supporting all these claims and are more than happy to share.

Hello ******,

I'm Sai *********;from Amazon.com. I'm writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB.

I understand your concern regarding the charge for the order ending with 5826.

Upon reviewing the order it is showing that the return for "Standard Process Livaplex" has not been processed hence there was a charge.

However, as an exception I have issued refund for $32.24 back to the Mastercard. You will receive the refund within 3-5 business days. You will also receive an email confirmation regarding the same.

Dear Amazon and BBB.org teams,I kindly ask you to review my complaint since I dont have other means on how to escalate my issue. The issue: my Amazon.com selling account deactivation.On June 10, 2023, Amazon deactivated my selling account stating that I created one or more ASIN variations that violate Amazons ASIN Creation policies. I sent 4 appeals and every time they were rejected. After each submission I called to the Account Health Team in order to understand how to address the issue, but they replied in a template manner without any details. Even more, they warned me that there is very low chance to reactivate my account. I dont agree with this deactivation as far as I didnt commit the violation Amazon accuses me. There were NO VARIATION LISTINGs on my account. I provided proves of the same, but Amazon ignored my arguments. I explained in detail why I believe that my account didnt violate policies, but all my attempts to convince Amazon failed. They reject it without going into details.Thats why I ask you to help me and escalate my request to Amazon leadership team. I attach my last appeal as PDF file where is explained the situation on my account.

Dear Amazon,

You've mentioned: "the corrective action items you have listed have not been implemented"

Please, be informed that ASINs: B0BS11SGQD, B0BRXQDYVD, B0BRSL1PND were DELETED from my inventory. Moreover, ASINs B0BS11SGQD, B0BRSL1PND are removed from Amazon catalog. I don't want to sell them anymore and obvioulsy I can't do that.

All my inventory were cleared after the account deactivation. All possible means to demonstrate that I comply with Amazon rules were taken during the appeal process.

I refuse from those ASINs that caused account deactivation. I just want to get back on track and continue selling sticking to Amazon policies.

It all started when I went on vacation in around January-May. During that time, my Amazon account tied to my main email, ******************** was compromised, and apparently the hackers did something to close the account, because upon trying to log in, I had to prove I owned a card that was never on my account in the first place. Despite calls trying to explain the situation to Amazon, they told me there was nothing they could do, and they closed my account and permanently locked it. So I made another one, still upset that they closed my account due to something that wasn't my doing, but still attempting to use and operate their services. This time I ordered using a prepaid ***** and immediately Amazon closed the account, with no explanation, and despite following their prompts to show I had proof of the card, they showed no desire to actually reopen the account, and gave no justification as to why my accounts are being closed. Since then, I've made anywhere from 3-5 more accounts, using a variety of prepaid cards and even my personal debit card, all to the same result. I provide the information they desire, they say 24 hours, and then within 10 minutes it says more information needed, asking for the same thing I just sent. To me this proves that no human input is present throughout the process, and that they're relying on some convoluted ai system hellbent on denying me service for whatever reason. I'm not the only person in my house either, I live with 5 others, all with Amazon accounts, and each one of them are able to use their accounts with no issue whatsoever, except me for some reason. I'm at my **** end with this, as no matter what I do there's no resolution. I want a thorough explanation from Amazon why this discrimination is present and also what they'll do to fix it.

Hi! You've been so helpful that I thought, why wait for Amazon to yank my chain around for months when it can be resolved right away with your help. I really appreciate the BBB! RE: ORDER # ***-0695786-9313015 I ordered a free-standing mirrored swivel jewelry cabinet from Amazon a few days ago. I've spent over $2000 on orders in the past 5 days for Xmas in July!! What came around 13 hours ago was a heavy box of hangers instead. Within 10 minutes of delivery, I opened up a box addressed to someone else by mistake (didn't read the label first, woops) and was further astounded when it said the jewelry cabinet had been delivered. I contacted Amazon.com right away in hopes that they could simply alert the driver to turn around and bring me my package. They refused saying that was impossible. How there could be such a severe chasm of communication is beyond me.. seems like being able to contact a driver should be available but whatever. So two hours later of two different phone calls to Amazon. The first asked me to send pictures of the hangers and I did so to their email. I was processed a return label. Um no. This brought back trauma of the last item I tried to return to Amazon and the months and months it dragged into. Just ridiculous.. so I'm back again for your help. I'm absolutely unable to send these hangers back. THEY"RE HEAVY and I don't have a car. When I called the second time to say no, I'm not sending you anything.. just bring my item to me or send a replacement. Their policy says they will send a replacement if the incorrect item is sent. This second call he asked me no less than 3 times the exact same question.. Ma'am, were you sent the incorrect item or did you not receive your item. I told him the same answer every time.. the only truthful answer: BOTH! You didn't send me my ********** sent some other stuff that's taking up precious space. BBB, Please help me get a replacement! I needed my item, I paid for it. They said it was delivered, but it was not!

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 with the delivery on your order ending **** and have reviewed the notes. We will not be able to issue a refund or a replacement at this time.

The response shared was correct, as we need the item to be returned for a refund. We have shared a *** labelless drop off label but you can reach *** Customer Support if they can help with a Return Pick option.

This may cost you a little more, but we do not have the option to issue a Return Pickup label from Amazon.

We appreciate your understanding but cannot offer more options in this connection.

Regards,
Raman R.
