      Hello,My seller account was deactivated due to violating the **** Creation Policy. According to the initial notification from Amazon, I must submit a Plan of Action and supporting documentation to reactivate my seller account.I have provided all the necessary information. I have clearly outlined the Root Cause and Corrective/Preventive Actions per Amazon's requirements. Additionally, I have attached the following supporting documentation:-- Virtual Assistant Services Agreement;-- Notice of Termination; -- Screenshot of the Inventory Section on my account.The supporting documentation is sufficient for an objective and thorough review. However, my appeal was rejected on the grounds of providing "insufficient information." It is a clear mistake, as the information I have provided fully covers and describes the violations on my seller account for any reasonable person.Based on this fact, Amazon Support did not adequately and attentively review my Plan of Action and supporting documentation. Therefore, I request that Amazon Support dedicate sufficient time to my appeal process and thoroughly reconsider it. Subsequently, I request the reactivation of my seller account, as my account now complies with the reactivation requirements. Many thanks for considering my request.

      Amazon listed an item on their website that is misleading for customers. In one section of the page, theres a portion for refunds which reads Eligible for Refund or Replacement but when I tried to return I was denied stating the item is non-refundable. **************** said they couldnt do anything, I spoke to their manager/supervisor and did not provide any assistance. I wanted to write a formal complaint but representative had no knowledge on doing so. This has been frustrating and i feel betrayed with the verbiage used for refunds. If the site simply put non-refundable as the text then this would not cause any confusion.

      Hello *****,

      I'm *************;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.

      We're sorry to know about the issue with the order #***-6286678--3357819.

      The informed shared by our customer service representative is correct , the product is non returnable. When you hover the mouse over the return section, you'll see a dialogue window opening which says "This item is non-returnable, but if the item arrives damaged or defective, you may request a refund or replacement."

      If you have any issue with the order, please contact the manufacturer for assistance.

      We hope to see you soon.

      I registered an amazon *** buyer account (E-mail: ********************* and wanted to make a purchase from *********. I even made many successful purchases in the past. But as soon as I made a payment for one of my order, my account was closed by ******************** stating unusual payment activity. I even provided them all the requested documents but still they didn't provide any help and closed my account. Therefore, I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding the closure of my buyer account on ********************** due to alleged unusual payment activity. I was shocked to receive the notification of account closure, as I have always been a loyal and responsible customer.I want to clarify that the unusual payment activity mentioned was not a result of any fraudulent or unauthorized action on my part. I have always prioritized the security of my payment information and have never engaged in any dishonest or unethical behavior.I kindly request a thorough investigation and reconsideration of the closure of my buyer account. ********************** has been my trusted online shopping platform and its closure has caused significant inconvenience and disrupted my ability to access essential services.I am willing to cooperate fully, provide any necessary documentation, and assist in resolving this matter promptly. I sincerely believe that this closure is a misunderstanding, and I request the reinstatement of my buyer account to resume my seamless shopping experience.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I eagerly await a positive resolution and the restoration of my Amazon buyer account.

      I purchase an apple mouse from Amazon and attempted to return it 16 days later due to the Magic Mouse causing hand pain from carpal tunnel. The mouse is extremely small and is not made for males with large hands. I was told I could not return the device after 15 days although the 15th day was a holiday, which is ridiculous.

      Truth in advertising! The ad will say delivery by this date if purchased in said amount of time. When I make the purchase the delivery date shifts to a later date and then more often than not is late from that date.

      I purchased a Kindle Oasis. However, it was defective, so I returned it. I have been in chats with several people regarding the refund, as I wanted the funds to go back to my Amazon account as a gift card. I no longer have the card I used previously, as it was temporary. I just finished a chat and call, which in total took over an hour, but finally got to someone who got to the bottom of why I had not received my refund. Someone at Amazon canceled my return label. But yet, the item was returned and received, and it shows in your system. But on my end, when I log into my account, it asks if I'd like to start a return. I have attached two screenshots proving something has happened within your system.Everyone has been telling me that the monies would be in my Amazon account within 2 to 4 hours, but the lady I just spoke with on the phone is now telling me that I have to wait 30 days...even though the system is doing something different, she said that I had to wait 30 days TO SEE if the refund would go through. This is entirely unacceptable. What's more unacceptable is the horrible customer service experience that I had to endure. I have copied and pasted the conversation so that you can see what some of your agents tell people to get them off the phone. The first agent told me that Amazon didn't own Kindles and that it was a third-party product, so my refund is late. I genuinely hope someone receives and reads this message and helps me with my refund. I've never had such a hard time with a return at Amazon, and this definitely makes me think twice about ordering anything in that price range from Amazon again. The *** tracking number is *****************, but the main issue is how, why and who canceled the label. Please refund my money ASAP - $389.86 back to my Amazon account.

      I bought a new ** from Amazon; i also purchased a 4 year warranty with it. this was December 2021.The ** recently began working improperly. Amazon said they would send me a new one. They sent a refurbished one. I let them know it was refurbished. They said they would send me a brand new one for a $15 fee, i said okay.I then received another refurbished ** in the mail. I had sent the original back WHEN the 1st refurbished one came in because I do not have the box that the original came in, so Amazon told me to send the original ** back in the 1st refurbished **s box. I did.So, Amazon then sent me ANOTHER refurbished ** instead of the brand new one that they were supposed to have sent again. They told me to take ************** #1 and put it in ************** #2 box and send it back to them.At this point, i was supposed to have been sent a brand new replacement TWO TIMES, but instead received 2 refurbished **s.Then Amazon said that they gave me a $50 promotional credit to use on a brand new replacememnt. They said that when they received ************** #1, they would give me an "Advanced Refund" to purchase a brand new ** (along w the $50 to make up for increased price of **).This never happened. They refused to refund me so that I can buy new ** and send this 2nd refurb back. Woman from Amazon said to keep the ** and not return it bc I would not get another one and they will not refund me, then i wouldnt have a ** or a refund.They set me up and now i'm forced to have a refurbished one that they tricked me into keeping.I found out today, from Amazon, that the Return Window expired January of 2022. They should not have sent me the 2 refurbished **s. They told me to contact SquareTrade about it because I have a 4 year extended warranty BUT SquareTrade is refusing to do anything because Amazon cheated me by sending me refurbished **s instead of brand new.THERE IS MORE TO THE ****** PLEASE CALL ME AFTER 10am.I am disabled, vulnerable adult.

      I've made sure the appropriate supervisory personnel are aware of your experience to make sure we provide proper training for the future, as this is not at all the level of service we aim to provide our customers.

      As a goodwill gesture, I've applied a $430 Amazon gift card. This amount will be available in the next 1 to 2 business days and will be available for your next order. You can view your balance and activity *****
