      Amazon customer support is absolutely terrible. Twice now when I was owed money they gave me partial refunds on items that had nothing to do with why I was contacting them. They should have just refunded my credit card. I then wanted to return the item, and because of the partial refund for the unrelated issue I am not fully refunded. I reached out to customer support and they have "technical issues", pass me on to different agents, ask for unrelated information just trying to make it more difficult. They assure me they put notes in the system so when I return the item I get the full refund but that doesn't happen. There is chat history showing everything but they play dumb. It is truly painful and bad business practice. At this very moment I am still chatting with customer support but I am not getting anywhere. They need to be held accountable.At this time I am owed $21.20

      I'm sorry for the inconvenience caused by not receiving a full refund for the item you returned.

      I have been a member/customer of ********************** for the last 3+ years with the same account. I have an ongoing Amazon giftcard balance and place several orders per day. My account was closed this morning for violating their gift card terms of service...and this did not happen. I had a balance on my gift card with the company and orders in process that have been cancelled and balance wiped out. I have called twice only to be told it was closed and they could not give me specific example of my error or the violation that occurred. I have appealed their decision, but do not see any help in my future. I thought maybe you could help me.

      I ordered a product from Amazon that cost $148.00. Amazon sent the incorrect item so I had to return it. It cost me $167.00 to return the item. Amazon told me on numerous occasions and in writing that they would refund me the shipping charge. Amazon is now refusing to refund the shipping cost.

      Called on 4/28/23 about an order that was sent to me that was open/leaking. I spoke with a person named ******** who refused to give me information to the question that I asked him. I asked him do he have an extension #, unit #, ID # or an initial behind his name. I ask this question whenever I call somewhere because the agents do hang up on you when you request a Supervisor or Manager so I like to have that information just incase it happens. He acted like he didn't comprehend to the question. He told me that he will send me something and I told him that I needed something for my record now. Since he was not able to assist me I requested a Supervisor. ******* came on the line and I asked her the same question. She had me repeat the question about 4 times. Then she went left with her questions. I told her that I was not concerned about her questions I just wanted to get some information for my record. She start asking me why do I need that information and I told her again that I needed the information for my records and she shouldn't be asking a question with a question. I then asked to speak to someone with higher authority which she refused. ******* said that she was the highest there was and they don't transfer to anyone else. I asked her to give me the address or name to where I could write in my compliant about my experiences. She acted like she couldn't hear what I was saying. The service was unprofessional and disrespectful. She was cutting me off while I was speaking and I told her that she was unprofessional and she could use some more people service skills because you don't do that to people. All I wanted was to return a product that I ordered that was open and leaking. I would like to have my money back for the product and they can have it back. Thanks in advance.

      I am a third-party seller on Amazon.com. Amazon has held my balance for more than a month already. I created a case to check what was happening, and I have no response. All my funds, which i desperately needed to close the deal with my supplier on April 27, about which I notified Amazon numerous times, are held at the so-called ********************** and no one can tell me why. Thus, I ask you to contact Amazon, and please ask them to either release this reserve or notify me about the reasons for such reserve and what is necessary to lift it.

      Business Response

      Date: 05/01/2023

      Greetings,

      We understand the seller is concerned about the Account ************* in their selling account. 

      It is a normal part of selling on Amazon to see funds in the account level reserve on the Payments report. It is the amount of money that is reserved to ensure the sellers have enough funds to fulfill any financial obligations not covered by Delivery date-based reserve policies.

      The sellers can click on the account level reserve from the payments page to know more about the reserve amount.

      Thanks.

      Complaint: 19993436

      I am rejecting this response because: I know it is normal to put the reserve regarding the returns, refunds, AtoZs and all. However, this is not a normal situation to put all account funds into reserve and without any explanation of what causes that, and without any information about when this hold is lifted or if any actions are required. My scheduled payment period was set on April 26. I've been paid 0 from my balance, I've missed a payment to my supplier and suffered thousands in financial losses due to that. And Amazon provides no explanation. That is not an acceptable way to treat your "Selling Partner."

      Amazon closed my account claiming it was linked to another account that had been closed by Amazon. I had a gift card balance on my account with a remaining balance around $156. I called amazon customer service to try to resolve the issues but was told they could not talk to me because my account was on hold and that somebody would call me within 24 hours. Nobody ever did. So, I sent emails to ******************************** and cs-****************************** trying to reach a person to resolve the issue, but have got to reply.

      I am rejecting this response because:  It has to be illegal for them to withold money I put in the account!  I never violated any of their terms of service.  The only thing I did was close an account a long time ago because I decided I wasn't going to use amazon anymore, but then I changed my mind and opned a new one.  There is now way a business, who is still in business, can legal hold funds I added to the account.  I also believe amazon is guild of failure to investage the matter throughly.  This is the same generic response that they seem to respond to everyone with.  If amazon will not return the fund I would like to have the proper contact information to take them to small claims court please.

      My name is ***************************. My Amazon store is SA Accessories ***(***********************). My concern is the fact that Amazon illegally disposed of my 539 units. I am writing in order to get compensation for the disposal of products for removal order ID: ********************************* initiated it despite the absence of my permission and removal order settings. Before suspensions, I opened Case ID *********** to get the confirmation that my products wouldn't be disposed of. You can see my removal details settings and conformation in the case ID *********** that my products should be returned to the address:************ ****************************************************************************************************************** They deactivated my ASINs by error, I reinstated that by proving that they had been deleted by mistake (the evidence is attached). However, after their suspension, they initiated the removal order. When I revealed it, I talked with Amazon Selling to get information on how to stop it. I was informed that I should have reinstated ASINs. I did, but nothing happened. Every time, I got different answers from the various Amazon specialists. In this letter, I described them and attached the evidence:+ Case ID **********. I must wait until all products are disposed of and ask for compensation. It took three months for Amazon to end the process. However, I was informed that It shroud have taken two weeks. When the disposal process was completed, I followed the instruction and asked for compensation. It was rejected. The explanation was that Amazon was eligible to do it in my case.+Case ID ***********. I contacted Amazon Selling Support again to know why they told me different things. In this case, I got the answer they felt really sorry for the previous actions of their specialists. They suspended my ASINs due to a mistake, destroyed my units by mistake and refused to take responsibility for it. I need your assistance to get compensation for the disposal of products for removal order ID: **********.

      I am rejecting this response because:
      Dear BBB,

      Thanks for paying attention to my case. 
      On May 5, 2023, I got a response from Amazon that they had opened Case ID *********** for investigation details.
      On May 5, 2023, I got the response that it would be best to wait for the order ID to be completed before requesting reimbursement. You can use this as a reference this case ID *********** once the removal order status is completed. 
      The fact that the removal order was completed one month ago didn`t confuse them. Case ID *********** was closed as the answered. Amazon recommended waiting until the completed removal process is completed. This fact means that Amazon isn`t interred in my case and didn`t pay enough attention. Amazon suspended my ASINs due to a mistake, destroyed my units by mistake and gave ridiculous answers which have nothing in common with real life.



      I need your assistance to get compensation for the disposal of products for removal order ID: **********.
      Thank you! 



      Sincerely,

      Every year I pay my amazon prime membership with my amazon gift cards. A week prior to renew membership I contacted amazon and told them to use the gift card payment waiting on file with them. On March 22, 2023, I owed 20$ more towards the membership, so I placed in the 20$ to amazon and amazon automatically took ****** plus my 20$ placement. My banks fraud team immediately called -at that moment- about the transaction and closed my bank card. On March 26th I went to FMCU to reactivate the card and they gave me a different card. On Mar 29th, I contacted Amazon and the rep on the phone placed the membership payment on the amazon gift card and told me that I would receive the money within the mail **** days. I never received the ******. On April 18th, I spoke with another rep and she understood and told me that I would receive the refund to my bank account. Yesterday, April 26th, I spoke with another rep and she told me that the money was enroute in my account and to go the bank and tell them. I went and my bank to me that Amazon would have to perform a Force transaction because that account was closed and they asked why wouldnt Amazon place the money onto the new bank card from them or mail a check. For the last month, I have spoke with many representatives from Amazon and I have not received my payment that was wrongfully taken out of my bank account for ******. I need help resolving this situation.

      Hello,

      I am Mahendra 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.

      Upon reviewing the complaint details, I see that you are referring to the refund for the prime membership. 

      Based on details available, the previous agents tried processing refund twice which is declined by your bank. It might be due to the card which is no longer active. 

      I request you to contact bank to check for options to activate the old card or we can help you issuing refund to gift card balance as an alternative. 

      We can take action as per you response based on refund method.  

      Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.

      We appreciate your time and patience in this regards. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

      Regards,

      Mahendra

      On 4/28/23 I woke up to an email from Amazon saying that they closed my account that is my only means of sales for my business. I run an Amazon storefront with modest sales and do the *** program and in the middle of starting to expand my business with new products, I find this. Please help me get my account back. Its my companies only way of selling on Amazon and were already unlocked in many of the difficult to ungate categories since weve been selling with them since 2018.
