I am rejecting this response because: This was simply fraud. They had stated it was relabeled an on the way. It was a lie. Why did Amazon not send out another watch in stead of refunding when they got caught? They have plenty at the warehouse. I checked without them knowing. I am filing a complaint with the Attorney General. Amazon tried to scam me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've reviewed your BBB complaint and I'm sorry to learn about the negative experience you've had with your order of "Super ************* ******** 3DS (Renewed)".
Upon checking your order, I found it was sold and fulfilled by a third party seller "RetroRefresh". We've already contacted the seller on your behalf and as per seller's latest response they are happy to accept the item in return for a refund. Here's the latest message that seller sent to your inbox - on May 9, 2023, 11:46 AM "This listing was for a game only. Happy to accept a return for a refund".
You may respond to the seller for further information. In case if you're unhappy with the seller or the resolution they provided, you may want to file an A-Z Guarantee claim.

I was told I'd get a refund period, I don't have a car or way to get to the postal office seeing I'm disabled and work 5/6 days a week as I explained to a Amazon representative which told me I'd get a refund!!!! It's documented, plus there are laws about posting fake pictures some people can't read that well and legit pictures are by law required, plus I see no return package or a way of returning it can't expect someone to pay shipping twice for a false advertised iteam ... much love just give me my refund have a wonderful day

I returned an item ans Amazon sent me an email on 5/08/2023 stating they are recharged me for an item returned several months ago. Order id # ******************* Tarp Cover Blue total $13.65 recharged to my debit card. How does a company that refunded a customer for a return they received back at their warehouse issue a refund, then decide at a later time quite some time later that they are going to recharge for the SAME item they received returned , then recharge a customer for the item refunded , when a customer goes to chat to tell their experience and what they need help with are told to wait for someone to look into this an expect an email within 24 hrs. A company should not take it upon themselves to recharge for returned items . No reply by email from Amazon, now I want my money refunded , this is not the first time I have filed a complaint with this company for they continually keep recharging cards used at time of purchases .Business Response

Every month I receive $105 in prepaid gift cards and I place the gift cards onto my Amazon gift card balance. I have been doing this for 15 months straight without any issues. For four months I saved these cards to put them all onto my Amazon gift card balance at once to make a large purchase. So on 4/11/23 I placed 20 gift cards worth $420 onto my Amazon gift card balance bringing it from $0 to $420. I then placed order 113-2487133-9111404 on 4/11/23 for $419.05 for a ******** Switch and a video game called Animal Crossing New Horizons. The next day Amazon canceled my order without my permission and did not fully refund my Amazon gift card balance. My Amazon gift card balance is currently at $129.05 where it remains to this day. I have had multiple conversations with Amazon and they have promised me several times that they would refund my Amazon gift card balance to $420 but they have not done this despite the promises. I have attached several of the promises they have made to me that have not happened. None of them will help me fully resolve the issue. I have waited patiently for an entire month for my refund, but they seem to not care that I only have been partially refunded. They do not have any common sense to see what the issue is or how to resolve it. This has been an incredibly infuriating experience. I demand that Amazon fully refund my Amazon gift card balance to $420 and/or reorder my purchase free of charge and send it directly to me at the fastest delivery time. Every answer they have given me contradicts the previous with no end to this madness at all. I have all the proof, but they refuse to accept it. They are committing robbery and this nonsense must result in the correct refund I desire. I will NOT stop until my Amazon gift card balance has been fully restored. Please call ************ with any questions that you may have. Please try your hardest for my refund, it may not mean much to you, but it's a stolen anniversary gift restored for me. Thanks.Business Response

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 about the orders that you placed for Glade Automatic Spray Refill, Air Freshener.
Upon checking your account, I found two orders were placed for this items at two different intervals May 6, 2023 at 8:16 AM (PDT) and May 6, 2023 at 8:21 AM. These two separate orders were merged into one shipment and shipped with Amazon Logistics with tracking #TBA306588074250.
Both the order shows delivered as per the Amazon Logistics tracking and none was cancelled. Unfortunately, we're unable to process a refund as both the orders show delivered.
