On 03/03/2023 I Purchased a COMFEE 1.6 cubic ft. portable washer on Amazon.com for$313.87, delivered on 3/7/23. The whole top on the wash machine which was a glass door it was shattered. I immediately contacted Amazon and told them the issue and that i wanted to return this for a replacement. They told me I couldn't receive a replacement, instead had to wait for them to receive the washer and process my refund and purchase another one and that the refund could take anywhere from ***** days after receiving the washer. Amazon scheduled a pick-up for 3/9/23 @2pm with the ***** COMPANY. On 3/9/23 @11:58am *** (#***) from the ************* picked up the washer to return to Amazon @ *********** S (customer returns) ******* ** ***** per ***************************************************** with the address of **************************************************************************************. *** gave me my shippers receipt with my shipment # ********* and told me to contact amazon about my refund status. I just decided to go ahead and buy the washer again, so I attempted to purchase the same washer, I get the thanks for your purchase and thought it was complete. I called my card and noticed that the money wasn't taken off my card. so i try to go back and see if I completed the order and to check the status of my refund, I couldn't log in I got a error saying my account has been locked and i needed to call customer support. I call ********************** to check my refund status and to see how i get my account unlocked, I was told they can't tell me anything about the refund due to my account being locked, and they was gonna sent this to account specialist to help resolve this issue. They told me I would receive an email from the accounts department in 24hrs. I called back and got to the same thing all 50 times. I got promised my refund on a fri. with a amazon gift card.

Hello this is ********. I was giving a update on my Amazon complaint. I never received the email saying anything about my refund and I still haven't received my refund yet. the last time I talked to customer service they said my bank received my refund after I filed a dispute with my bank and I have proof from my bank that the dispute was unsuccessful and they was not able to retrieve my refund. I am still getting the run around about my refund. I just really want my money or a washer that's not broken.

A few weeks ago, I created a new Amazon account for business use, so I could separate it from my personal Amazon account. My ********************** account was locked and suspended quickly after. I did what was asked, which was to submit a billing statement. It was unlocked, which allowed me to order again.However, less than 24 hours later, my account was locked again, and a billing statement was required for verification again. Upon sending in my billing statement, my account was closed. ********************** insists that my account is linked to another account that was closed, however I am unsure what account they are referencing, as I am unaware of any account that has been closed. Since I am still curious what are they linking my account to, I ask for them to provide the email of the closed account, however they are unable to provide that information.I am mostly frustrated by Amazon's response, as I have provided proof that I am a legitimate customer. I have ordered likely over $1m worth of goods in the last 10 years, and have other open Amazon accounts ordering without issues. Therefore, I am seeking a resolution regarding my account and also an understanding of why my new account I created has been closed, despite my open Amazon accounts that are still active. Amazon continues to refuses to let me know what account is linked to me, because I strongly believe it to be a mistake.Business Response

On May 14, 2023 my fiancee told me to pick out some tank tops on Amazon and he would pay for them. I found a pack of 6 ****'s for $31.78 and ****** put in his card and paid for my items and immediately deleted his card information from my Amazon account because ********************** tends to charge what they want to at times. I immediately got an email telling me my ****'s would be delivered on Wednesday May 17, 2023 and it showed immediately on his bank statement then approximately 5 minutes later a charge for $15.89 shows up on his bank statement also. It took me till midnight to find out that Amazon put a Amazon prime membership fee on his debit card without and authorization from anyone. I called Amazon and requested that $15.89 be cancelled and refunded back to his account and they told me they didn't have to. It needs put back because neither of ** authorized Amazon to debit my fiancees bank account for that money. The only charge that was authorized was for $31.78 for the six tank tops that Amazon is now saying the payment was declined 10 hours later when I clearly got the email receipt.Business Response

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.
I've reviewed your BBB complaint and I understand your concern relating to Prime Subscription and Charge.
I've checked your account and I found that a Prime 30 Days free trial was subscribed on March 30, 2023. As per the information available on our system, it appears that it was signed up while your account was used to access Prime Video Paid Content. We also sent a confirmation fee on this trial subscription. For your reference, the email was sent on Thursday, March 30, 2023 at 4:38 PM (PDT) with email subject " Welcome to Amazon Prime, *****! Enjoy the best of shopping and entertainment".
Because 30 days have passed and the trial ended, your subscription was renewed to a Paid one charging you a payment of Monthly subscription fee of ***** USD.
As a resolution to this complaint, I've cancelled your subscription and issued a full refund of ***** USD which will be processed to your original payment card within 3-5 business days.
Regards,
*****

I am rejecting this response because: at 5:29am this morning Amazon tried to charge my fiancees card again for prime. That card was added to my account long enough to purchase the Cami's approximately 4 minutes then I deleted it. Nothing was ever said about the 6 pack of ****'s that was purchased for me for mother's day! I sent in the receipt from Amazon for them yet nothing was said about them then his card which was deleted immediately after purchasing the camis was charged for prime now trying to take it again from a card deleted immediately from my account on May 14, 2023 at approximately 2:10pm

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.
I've reviewed your correspondence on your BBB complaint and I understand your concern about the charge.
As mentioned in my previous message, I cancelled the prime subscription and issued a full refund of ***** USD to your original payment method. This refund status shows as hard declined and we recommend you to contact your bank to report this issue.
Your order for BQTQ 6 Pcs Camisole Tank Top is under cancelled status and you have not been charged for this order. When you place an order, we contact your bank for a purchase authorization to verify your payment card but don't actually charge you until the order ships. Some banks may hold funds in your account for these authorizations even if the order is canceled. Orders from our Marketplace sellers may be charged at the time of purchase.
You'll need to contact your bank for assistance. They can tell you why funds on your account may be unavailable and clarify how long they hold payment authorizations for online orders.
Regards,
*****

I am filing a complaint against Amazon regarding the deactivation of my seller account and the subsequent inability to access it despite providing the requested information.Amazon notified me that my seller account, "lubojworld," was deactivated due to suspected deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity. I promptly responded, providing the requested information and documentation to verify my identity and demonstrate compliance with Amazon's policies.Despite my efforts, Amazon responded stating their inability to confirm delivery of recent seller-fulfilled orders and the lack of sufficient information to reinstate my account. I find this response deeply concerning and unjustified. I have diligently provided all requested information, including tracking details, evidence of fulfillment, and updated business registration.This account deactivation has significant consequences. It has impacted my income and tarnished my reputation as a seller, after investing substantial time, effort, and resources into establishing and maintaining my account on ************************ request the Better Business Bureau's intervention in this matter to help resolve the issue. I urge Amazon to conduct a thorough and fair review, considering the evidence provided, my successful track record as a seller, and my commitment to compliance.I specifically request the following actions:A comprehensive investigation into the circumstances surrounding the account deactivation, ensuring transparency and fairness in the process.A review of the documentation already submitted, verifying my identity, compliance, and the legitimacy of my business operations.Assurance that appropriate measures are taken to prevent unjustified account deactivations and improve support and communication for sellers facing similar issues.I believe that the BBB involvement can rectify the situation and ensure a fair resolution for all parties involved, upholding consumer rights and fostering positive business practices.Business Response
