Dear ***/*****,I am writing to report a system error I encountered while creating an employee account on ******************** using the email address ********************** This account was mistakenly locked due to what I believe to be an automated response triggered by multiple employee accounts being created from our office's IP address.I want to emphasize that we have done nothing wrong. Each of our employees requires their own account on ********************** to order business supplies necessary for packaging and shipping our products. We rely on Amazon's services to ensure the smooth operation of our business.Despite receiving an error message stating that the account had been locked for alleged misuse of Amazon's services and expecting an email with further information, no such email was received after checking all relevant folders.I kindly request your assistance in resolving this matter. As an esteemed advocate for consumer affairs, I believe the Better Business Bureau can help facilitate communication with Amazon's appropriate department to reinstate the locked account *********************** promptly. Restoring access to this account is crucial for our employees to continue ordering the essential supplies required for our business operations.Please let me know if any additional information or documentation is needed to support our case. I am fully committed to providing any necessary details promptly.Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I look forward to your prompt response and a favorable resolution.*********,****************, eWarehouseShop.com *********************Business Response

Dear ***/*****,I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I have encountered with Amazon.com, which I believe to be a result of a system error. As the owner of eWarehouseShop.com, an online retail business, I rely heavily on Amazon's services for the procurement of essential business supplies such as tape and boxes. Unfortunately, I recently encountered a problem while attempting to create employee accounts on Amazon.com, specifically with the email address *********************.During the process of creating the account ********************** I received an error message stating that the account had been locked due to alleged misuse of Amazon's services. The message further indicated that an email had been sent to provide additional information regarding the issue. However, despite thorough searches across all email folders and spam filters, no such email was received.While I understand and appreciate Amazon's commitment to maintaining security and preventing misuse of its services, I would like to emphasize that the account lock was unintentional and caused by a system error rather than any deliberate violation of Amazon's terms and conditions. Our primary goal is to resume our normal business operations on the Amazon platform, as we heavily rely on it for ordering essential supplies.I kindly request your assistance in addressing this matter. As a respected advocate for consumer affairs, I believe the Better Business Bureau can help facilitate a resolution between eWarehouseShop.com and Amazon.com. If possible, I kindly ask you to communicate with the appropriate department at Amazon, explaining our situation and advocating for the reinstatement of the locked account *********************** so that our employees can continue to order the necessary supplies.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response and a favorable resolution.*********,****************, eWarehouseShop.com *********************Business Response

Your seller-fulfilled orders will remain deactivated. You may still accept Amazon-fulfilled orders.That is the message we got from Amazon on 4/20/2023, 5/2/2023, and 5/10/2023 yet that is not what we are seeing in our account. Currently we cannot accept any orders despite Amazon telling us we can accept Amazon-fulfilled/FBA orders. I have written to Seller Performance, Executive Seller Relations, and several executives trying to have this corrected and there is either no reply, or we are told that we can accept Amazon-fulfilled orders. Getting that reply leads us to believe that our letters are not being read very carefully. This is not a complex request, and the notifications are right there in my account for their agents to verify. We are only asking Amazon to do what they already told us was done, allow us to accept Amazon fulfilled orders.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:There was no request for information to complete the review made on 5/23/2023. It was a generic notification stating that our listings have been removed.
Please review the notification we received on 4/20/2023, 5/2/2023, and 5/10/2023 that said:
Your seller-fulfilled orders will remain deactivated. You may still accept Amazon-fulfilled orders.
Amazon has repeatedly said we could accept seller-fulfilled orders so why is that not happening?
This was not something we made up, this was something sent to us by Amazon in response to our
appeals so it is not a matter of someone making a mistake. Please activate our Amazon-fulfilled orders.

On May 19, a chat customer service agent promised to issue a $15 refund to make up for an item that did not arrive on the guaranteed delivery date from ORDER # ***-6264137-1569841 which was paid for by Amazon gift card. However the agent did not issue the refund as promised and then refused to connect the chat session to a supervisor. Opening a new chat session and finally reaching a leadership member, the supervisor refused to honor the prior agent's promise and would not issue a refund in the $15 amount. Amazon should issue the refund as promised by their customer service agent.Business Response

I order a metal bed frame that ***** refused to release to me so I had them ship it back to the seller. I have confirmation that the seller received the item back. I called Amazon several times to get a refund and they refused saying that I received the item. They refused to give me a refund. They refused to contact ***** to confirm item was returned to seller. They refused to contact seller for me. I have no ability to contact seller directly. Amazon customer service was extremely rude and unwilling to help me solve this problem even though I had proof the item was returned to the seller. I have no other recourse than to file this complaint and hope that Amazon will make this right. I can not afford to pay $174 for an item I did not receive! Please help me resolve this matter. I have uploaded the ***** tracking information showing that item was return and delivered to the seller as well as my order information.Business Response

I placed an order on November 25, 2022 Order# ***-8436218-1393031 for a ****** Legion Tower T5 Gaming Desktop. The product was sold as having a one-year manufacturer's warranty however the seller of this product voided the warranty by adding 3rd party hardware. I was advised of this by the manufacturer ****** when the computer was sent for warranty repairs. My decision to make this purchase was based on the specifications of the computer along with the warranty that was advertised. Now I have a computer that has no warranty at all due to the seller making changes to the computer which voided the warranty. Even if this computer is fixed it still doesn't have a warranty to cover anything else. It is Amazon's responsibility to ensure that all products are advertised correctly so that the buyer can make informed decisions. I would not have purchased this computer had it not had any warranty on it. I no longer want this computer as it was sold to me by advertising false information regarding the warranty. I would like to return this product and receive a full refund.Business Response

Based on the results of our investigation, we aren't able to provide a Refund or Replacement for this Order at this time.
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.

I am rejecting this response because:I understand that it wouldnt be amazons fault if it was theft after delivery BUT it was never delivered. There is no proof, no scanning info, no photo and twice I was given wrong delivery dates by Amazon directly which further validates that there is no tracking system and no accountability. This is unacceptable and if its the fault of the third part delivery service then shame on Amazon for using China post.

I have already contacted *********** multiple times, and they have informed me that the package has been delivered. Amazon asks me to contact ***********, and *********** asks me to contact Amazon. I believe they are not earnestly resolving the issue; they are simply passing the buck and testing my patience, making me bear the consequences.
