Ive been struggling to get appropriate support from Amazon to reactivate my account to full capacity (merchant A2414ZC1UHHOS). After sending appeals to address errors made in drop-shipping, my Amazon fulfillment channel was reinstated, but the seller fulfillment side remains down. Amazon is now requiring that I appeal the same issue again. This feels like a case of double jeopardy; Amazon is trying to further capitalize on my sales by forcing me to exclusively use their own fulfillment channel. *** already provided evidence that my account wont pose a risk if allowed to ship my own orders. The issues that led to the enforcement have been fully remedied & I have several failsafe practices in place to make sure that they cannot be repeated. I really need someone at Amazon to investigate this case & see that my appeal is valid to resolve the new concerns. These are not repeated *********** ****** are easily avoided through my fully implemented plan of action.Business Response

Hello,
We have reviewed the sellers account and we are unable to reinstate their selling privileges.
We took these actions because the seller was in violation of our Code of Conduct and Dropshipping policy.
Under the terms of this sellers agreement with Amazon Services, we removed their selling privileges and placed a temporary hold on any funds in their seller account on June 13, 2022. We notified the seller of this decision by email on that day.
The funds in the sellers account are eligible for transfer. The seller can write to us at payments-****************************** to request a transfer of any funds remaining in their seller account.

Complaint: 20092650
I am rejecting this response because: I have repeatedly verified my identity and provided the necessary company receipts multiple times. Despite this, the amazon is requesting me to verify my identity and provide them receipts once again. This constant verification process has caused our payments to be held for over a year, severely impacting on our business due to the lack of available capital. It appears that either the company is incapable of efficiently handling these matters or intentionally delaying the payment process. Furthermore, they have not taken the time to review my plan of action to reinstate my account, which raises concerns about their overall capabilities. I am deeply troubled by this situation.

I bought an electronic item (beoplay ex earphones, order# 111-5973624-8379448) from Amazon on May 18 due for delivery next day. The reason I ordered it is because I was leaving on a business trip early on the 20th. Amazon dragged until the 19th at 1pm before shipping the item so of course I never received them on time as promised. I contacted Amazon in the morning of the 19th to tell them their fulfillment was dragging. On 19th evening, Amazon of course claimed unexpected delay. This exact situation has happened at least a dozen times before with always the same exact scenario and the same lies by Amazon customer service in *****.The item arrived on the 20th, late afternoon. So my wife returned it on the same day. Amazon received it today May 22 at 8:43am per *** tracking number. When I contacted Amazon this afternoon, they told me my refund will be processed in 1 month (Amazon customer service person named *****). This is insulting. Amazon is purely holding my payment as retaliation.Business Response

I ordered a set of earbuds for my son on April 24th 2023. My son stated it would not charge or pair so I requested to have it returned back. I shipped it out to amazon on April 26th, 2023 and it was received by them via *** on April 28th. I've had numerous contact with their customer service and they have done nothing but be ***** and give me a run around about an incident report. I have sent it more than 4 times as of this moment. I even snapped shot the tracking number showing they received it. I also explained to them either credit me or send me a replacement and they have done neither. Order # ***-2829319-5959460. Tracking number: 1Z6E55409056497222. It was dropped off at a *** drop off location. If I had been able to return it to a whole foods I wouldn't have this issue.

Purchased a 36 volt golf cart battery charger since the original one that came with golf cart is done for. After using the charger for a couple times everything was fine. I looked on the Amazon app to find more details about this product and limitations. I've been wanting to plug in golf cart overnight and next day golf cart would be charged. The description states "findmall 36V 5A Golf Cart Battery Charger is an intelligent battery charger. Features a trickle charge mode which is better for your batteries, made for overnight charging." OK so I can leave charger on for a couple hours overnight and there shouldn't be an issue. Also Intelligent charging Short circuit protection Over temperature protection Over-voltage protection Battery reverse connection protection Timing shutdown protection Input undervoltage protection Charging status LED display No output plug design, Provide more possibilities for your use GREAT over voltage protection. Well this charger failed to do that and overcharged my $1000 worth of batteries, that are only little over 3 months old, completely damaged, now I am out of that $1000 and have to spend another $1000 for new golf cart batteries. Total of $2000 in cost. I was told the 1st time I called Amazon that someone would call and resolve this. The 2nd time my concern is being escalated again! Nobody from Amazon has emailed me contacted me about this product I purchased from Amazon causing $1000 in damages and another $1000 to fix. I'm without my golf cart because of this. It's extremely hard to dish out $100 nowadays especially another $1000. It's just not feasible. I wish someone would properly resolve this matter, since it was no fault of me the customer, after following instructions description on Amazon app for this product. I have plenty photos after use of this product.Business Response

On Dec 6th, 2022, I had requested for a return of a camera and lens through Amazon's app. The only option provided by **********. *** picked up on Dec 7th, 2022. *** handed me receipt. Since I hadn't received a refund, I reached out to Amazon support. And as per a chat conversation, *** claimed both items were delivered, and she was initiating refund. I disposed off the receipt. Since I had received refund after couple of months and after repeated conversations with customer reps to solve the issue , I disputed the charge on my credit card. I had also provided all the required proof. Amazon now claims they haven't received the item. Dispute was closed in their favor. I then reopened the dispute, asking them to consider the proof that Amazon's customer rep confirmed delivery of items. I reached out to dispute customer service, and they confirmed this was a solid proof. But when the amount was still not reverted back, I reached back to credit card company, and they said Amazon claims they cant issue a refund without a tracking number. The request for return was initiated through Amazon's app. They should have a record of tracking number that was generated for **********. I tried reaching out to *** (online and store) as well. *** also confirmed, Amazon should have the tracking number. *** doesn't have it, since request was initiated through Amazon. I do not understand why Amazon claims they cant pull up tracking number for that record. And a recent claim by Amazon is that, inspite of confirmation from another rep, that *** didnt scan the item. Which is not true, since the pickup person did hand me over the receipt, which I trashed after Amazon rep confirmed the items were delivered. Please let me know on how to proceed inorder to find a resolution. *** , Amazon and ******************** has just been tossing me from one business to the other.

5/22/23 AMZN Supervisor clarified that, no matter the reason or issue - he will not/cannot transfer to a Mgr. Mgrs, he said, and this is for a Company that employees 1.5 million staff, do not "deal with Contacts (or worthless, pointless, valueless Customers is what that appeared to mean to me in that conversation); they only deal with day-to-day business." Customers define "day-to'day" I shared, but he didn't check with (it appeared) his Mgr., so maybe this is Co. policy and he was being compliant, but he was also working from home because I heard chickens or animals actively making noise in the background. He repeated, during the 40-min. convo., that he's the last point of contact for the call. Well, I had a credit balance from several gift cards on the account, and the account also, as I recall, was, or recently was under a gifted Prime Membership. I understand that there is a verification process, and he also told me that AMZN's is according to the law. Great - possibly or likely - but I did not question that irrelevant point, either. Still, there's zero alternative if I cannot recall an old phone number, which is not even required for an account. ***** i.e., I have account reports and order histories, but oddly - w/ clearly a low accountability bar, here - he had 40 minutes to say nearly nothing helpful, including while a absent a Mgr. among 1.5 million fellow staff. I tried to point out that I can verify the account, but AMZN also has my gifted money. He reminded me that I am welcome, despite his being in possession of my $, to callback and eventually get another Supervisor. (Well, I was seeking a Mgr, Sir) ***** he said I am welcome to contact BBB - the Agent also issued permission to file a BBB complaint. But, the Mgr. concept for "**" paying customers may be a 'thing of the past'; perhaps replaced by the Staff option to, at will, hang up on the Customer? At ****** from ************ MST, the Supe. thanked me for calling Amazon, but, then he hung up the phone.Business Response

Complaint was based on and about speaking with a Manager. The account had funds, which I rightfully seek. Amazon, who seems from the news to be in lots of weird legal or PR scenarios quite a bit, appears to have really gotten wrong or just answered very vaguely, the complaint.Customer Answer
Date: 06/08/2023
Hello, thank you.
Amazon, and I can prove this, has or had a credit balance on the, apparently unrecoverable?, account. The account is one of probably billions of other accounts....Nonetheless, I simply sought a Manager, and such is well documented and requested, too, yet the Company's first, written reply said or acknowledged nothing to that effect, or anything sensible or even understandable, in my view, at all. The reply, in and of itself, simply does not make a lot of sense.
Further, Amazon in this case, does not know something else, which is that I also am a Reseller of products - very awesome, cool and popular items, in fact - and am, notably, tweaking and refining the website right now; some of the products cost substantially more than others; more so, AMZN also offers a fulfillment service- a prized service for a Reseller who needs time more than anything. Third, Amazon also offers Amazon Pay, an optional feature at a site's Product page and/or Cart, which as mentioned, is optional at the full discretion of the Site Owner. Other Companies, such as Apple and ******* also offer their similar version of instant Pay.
In closing, despite Amazon's not addressing the issue, or fact of their being in possession of my funds, or not even answering the overall complaint with a relevant, coherent reply, dollar-for-dollar it is a loss, at this time, to deal with them; furthermore, sadly, to see BBB, a non-profit and one in place with paid staff to serve as an intermediary or go-between between Merchant and Consumer, get used as a conduit for, in my view in this case, cosmetic, whitewashed, irrelevant - fake! - dialogue and replies, is not fun to observe, watch or be a part of; I am not going to dignify AMZN's conduct. So, on behalf of and for BBB, which is based in ******* and AMZN seems largely outsourced, I feel compelled, if not forced - at this time - to withdraw participation, which certainly includes any Fulfillment or Pay uses or considerations, too.Please forward the response to Amazon, and due only to their misguided reply, which suggests to me no interest or willingness by the Company to even discuss, aside from the Manager request, funds that belonged to me that I entrusted to them, then per Amazon I believe they have closed the ticket, themselves. So, per Amazon, yes I think the BBB ticket, concerning a completely unresolved issue, should be closed.

I made two separate purchases that included promotions. The fine print states that there is only 1 promotion per order (see attachment). I only received one promotional code for a free game with the purchase of a video card, but not the second code. Amazon customer support suggested that I return the item and open another Amazon account and purchase the item again to obtain the promotional code. This is unacceptable. I want the promised promotional code as I qualified per the terms and conditions for the promotion which I've attached for your review.Promotion: "Get Diablo IV with select GeForce RTX 40s Get Diablo IV with select GeForce RTX ****, ****, **** Ti, **** (Desktops and GPUs). No Laptops. Full terms apply.

My recent order thru Amazon.com contained (4) items. One of the items (********** brushes, total $9.09) was delivered by ***** The mailer was empty. I called Amazon and they said they would not issue a refund as the package weighed what it was supposed to when it left their facility. I stated I did not want a refund, but the items. I was told they have a policy that was updated in 9/2022 - Risk of Loss - the company is not liable for packages after they are handed to a carrier. I called, chatted, and tweeted - all the same answer. I called **** and was told they could not file a claim as Amazon did not insure the package. I contacted Amazon again thru ******* and relayed the message from ***** They said they would look into it further. I received the same email as before stating there was nothing to be done, call the ************* *************** This policy is absurd anyway, but further more to the fact that they didnt even insure the package. I have zero recourse other than possibly filing a dispute with my bank, and to do that I would have to obtain a new debit card. And if you pay bills online, you know how frustrating that can be. Originally, I was seeking the item sent. I would ***************. However if that is refused I do not feel like I should be penalized because they didnt ensure the shipment. Its not an option on their website to receive or decline insurance. Amazon made that choice.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 that you have shared with reference the missing item on your Order ending **** and have looked into the options. The information we shared was correct, we will not be able to issue a refund or replace at this time.
Based on the information provided by the carrier, we're able to confirm that your package was delivered with the same package weight and dimensions mentioned on our website. We will not be able to discuss issues pertaining to insurance or our carrier policies with you.
At this time, Amazon isn't able to resolve shipping problems after delivery, as outlined on our website in our Conditions of Use, noted under 'Risk of Loss' which states: "All items purchased from Amazon.com are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier." See ************************************************************************************ for more information.
We advise you to contact **** in order to pursue this matter further. We also recommend that you consider selecting a more secure shipping address, such as your workplace or an Amazon Hub Locker, in the future to avoid further problems.
Regards,
Raman R.

I am rejecting this response because of this portion of the email; Based on the information provided by the carrier, we're able to confirm that your package was delivered with the same package weight and dimensions mentioned on our website. We will not be able to discuss issues pertaining to insurance or our carrier policies with you.-It was last weighed at my local post office and the dimensions and weight were correct. It was apparently lost somewhere in between as I was delivered an empty envelope. So, no, it was not delivered as intended. The postal worker marked it as delivered correctly because they put an envelope - of which they have no idea what is or is supposed to be inside - in my mailbox.
We advise you to contact **** in order to pursue this matter further. We also recommend that you consider selecting a more secure shipping address, such as your workplace or an Amazon Hub Locker, in the future to avoid further problems.
-i have contacted **** as stated in my complaint. If Amazon wants me to take this issue up further with ***************** *************** I need the insurance information for the package to file a claim. **** does not have a record of insurance on the package. I cannot file a claim with **** without it.
I have not explicitly asked for a refund. I have asked that the missing items be replaced OR a refund. I have taken every step that Amazon and **** have asked me to take regarding this issue. If Amazons only solution is to refuse to answer whether the package has insurance, I will have no other option but to dispute the charge with my bank.
Sincerely,
