Greetings, My seller account was deactivated due to association with another seller account I have never owned or known the actual owner of. During the start of my appeal process, I mistakenly selected the option "I know the associated account, but I no longer own it". However, this was an error on my part as I had previously made a call to Amazon Support and was misled regarding the associated account. After filing my appeal, Amazon Support requested that I provide more information regarding the "associated account". However, as I stated earlier, I DO NOT KNOW the associated account or its owner. Therefore, I cannot provide any additional information. The only evidence of my statements is my cooperation with a Virtual Assistant who serviced other seller account owners concurrently. I am confident that due to his actions, the Amazon system mistakenly assumed that I was the owner of multiple seller accounts. However, this is an incorrect statement. I have long terminated any business relationship with the Virtual Assistant. Additionally, I have removed all possible connections that could trigger the Amazon system. Please review my attached Plan of Action and supporting documentation for more useful information. PLEASE NOTE: I canNOT provide any additional information because I DO NOT KNOW or HAVE any associated accounts. I am not a fraudster and have no intention of submitting fake additional documents or information. Therefore, I sincerely hope for your understanding. The information I have provided is sufficient to realize the erroneous deactivation of my account. So, please reactivate my seller account. Many thanks for considering my request.Business Response

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 shared on your order ending **** and have looked into the complaint about the messaging on the "Thermacell ... Mosquito Repeller" details page. We regret the misunderstanding in this case.
The information you have is correct, as the item is not returnable due to restrictions that apply. We recommend you click on the link "Eligible for Refund or Replacement" as this would offer the the information below.
"Eligible for Refund or Replacement if damaged or defective. This item is non-returnable, but if the item arrives damaged or defective, you may request a refund or replacement."
In this case, we recommend you reach **************** of call or chat for more assistance on this issue. In case we are able to verify the issue, our associates would be more than happy to assist with available options. I also share the link to our returns policy for more information.

I recently received an email stating "We recently reviewed your account for order activity details. Your order history shows that you have received a high number of refunds or replacements". I'm a little confused as I've only returned 1-2 items this year (that amazon confirmed they receieved and were the correct item) and requested 1-2 refunds for items that didn't appear to show up. I'm just worried my account will be closed if I need to return anything else. All I want is assurance that my account won't be closed if I try to return another item or need a refund or anything and that my account isn't limited or anything. I have a lot in Amazon gift cards and I just opened up a Prime credit card, and I just placed an order for 3 items. I also have a bunch of reviews I would hate to lose. I have been a prime member for a really long time and just am a little worried my account may be closed as my friend got a really similar email and his account got closed a few days later. I don't want a refund or anything and am fine if I need to be charged but just would appreciate an explanation. My amazon account is under ************************* thank you.Business Response

Greetings, On June 28, I attempted to contact *********************** Team using the following email address: ****************************** On July 3, I submitted my request to the following additional email: ******************************* However, I am still awaiting feedback from the ******************* Team. My request is complex, requiring active involvement from highly qualified specialists. My seller account was deactivated due to Multiple IP violations. According to the notification from Amazon, I must provide a Plan of Action, which includes the Root Cause and Corrective/Preventive Actions on each violation (ASIN) indicated in the notification and any supporting documentation to confirm the Root Cause and Corrective/Preventive Actions. I have provided all the information above. My Plan of Action consists of 5 pages of detailed information for each violation. However, my Plan of Action was unreasonably rejected. From this, it can be concluded that my Plan of Action needed to be properly reviewed. Therefore, I need the review of a qualified specialist who will thoroughly review my Plan of Action and supporting information and understand that I have provided SUFFICIENT information for the reactivation of my seller account. So, I request the ******************* Team to actively participate in my appeal process and review the emails above. Additionally, I am duplicating the information here for your convenience. I sincerely hope for highly qualified assistance and the reactivation of my seller account. Many thanks for considering my request.Business Response

Complaint: 20267824
I am rejecting this response because: I had a misunderstanding with Amazon Support. My appeal process is about reactivating a SELLER account, not a ***** account. However, ********************** Support indicated the review of the ***** account in the response, which is an error.
Amazon Support did not do a detailed review of my appeal. It was negligent in the appeals process if they indicated that they reviewed my appeal for the ***** account reactivation... However, I have contacted Amazon Support via phone to clarify the mistakes made on their part. I was also advised to update my Plan of Action for a better review.
Based on the above information, I have attached supporting documentation and additional information in my Plan of Action to my response. I request Amazon Support to take a qualitative approach to review my Plan of Action, as it contains information on each violating ASIN, as Amazon requires.
I realize that reviewing 5 pages of clear information in Plan of Action is time-consuming; however, I would like to remind Amazon Support to ***** me the right to a quality appeal process, per Amazon Services Business Solutions Aggregation. Amazon Support has requested more detailed information from me on each ASIN in violation, and I have provided it. Please review it.
I have also attached screenshots of my communication with the right holder whose intellectual property rights were infringed on my part. Among other things, I have attached a screenshot of my Inventory Section to demonstrate that all infringing ASINs have been removed from my stock.
Thus, I have provided all the requested information to reactivate my seller account. After reviewing the information provided, I request Amazon Support to handle my appeal process professionally and reactivate my account. I sincerely hope for highly qualified assistance from Amazon Support. I really appreciate any help you can provide.
