      I am rejecting this response because: it doesn't seem to be genuine or that you've actually reviewed the chat between me and your customer service Representatives or what you have posted on your own website I was told the refund had been issued already I returned two items the same time one of them has been issued a refund in one of them hasn't how are they reaching the returns in red separate times and furthermore I was told on the 20th to refund was issued and now it hasn't been everything that you guys are saying is contradictory to the other if you simply take the time and actually look into what your making these promises on then situations like this wouldn't happen

      A benefit of my annual prime membership is convenient and free returns which includes the Amazon return locker however the option to make returns via the local amazon lockers disappeared from my account 2 months ago and I have had to submit ALL returns via *** in the next town over. I have talked with Amazon about this glitch several times and have been told its the item but NONE of my purchases (30+ items) are showing that a locker return is an option. There is some kind of IT glitch going on with my acct and they refuse to escalate it. In all the years I have been with Amazon its a rarity that an item must be returned via *** and now for the past 2 months every single one of my purchases has to be returned that way?? Its not on my end either, the CS agent was unable to submit an Amazon locker return on her end and she tried it on several of my purchases just to test it. At this point Im not getting the full benefits of my membership and have spent over 2 hours on the phone with CS trying to get this resolved to no avail. There are a dozen lockers within a mile of my home, so if one was full and couldnt except a return it would show the nearest one that could yet the locker return function is completely gone from acct. I should not have to drive to the next town over and be late for work to go to *** for returns when there are several lockers 2 min from my house!

      I purchased $137.89 of printer cartridges between from seller LD Products on Amazon.com between July of 2020 and August of 2021. The amazon orders for the purchases are 111-0103937-8975417, 111-4819211-0435425, 111-1641285-4107467, 111-2746032-3872246, 111-0881736-8169867, 111-6673421-9621063, 113-2546669-3236213. In the August 31, 2021 order (113-2546669-3236213), one of the cartridges was defective and damaged a $900 printer, forcing me to buy a new printer on Amazon. I tried for over a year to repair the damaged printer even after buying a new printer as a replacement but unfortunately, the printer was unable to be repaired. I reached out to the seller asking for a refund of all $137.89 of cartridges I purchased as compensation for the $900 printer that was destroyed and I thought it was a very fair settlement offer since I was not asking the seller to reimburse me for the $900 printer that was destroyed. The seller rejected the offer and refused to work with me towards any resolution - only offering me a $7 "store credit" which I couldn't use and wouldn't want to use based on my prior experience with the seller's printer cartridges.I reached out to Amazon customer service through ********************** chat multiple times in April of *************************************************************************** filing A to Z claims for the 7 orders against the seller since the items were all bought by a 3rd party seller on Amazon and were sold and shipped by seller LD Products. On April 25, 2023, I finally was able to get Amazon to agree to opening the A to Z claims and representative ******* was able to open the claims. She told me in a chat conversation that I would receive the refund in 7 days to my gift card balance. When I asked her for a confirmation email, as she was preparing the email, Amazon disconnected me from the conversation and transferred me to another Amazon agent who refused to confirm that the claims were open or that the refund was issued.

      Have repeatedly called to get 2 step verification removed from my account.Over 12 recorded calls - every representative assured they would remove it.Every single time the call ended I got an unauthorized password reset, and a request for my ID I submitted my ID, changed my password - and called back.Every single time, the representative initiated another unauthorized password reset, and send me instructions to send my ID.I have changed my phone number and don't have access to the old phone on my 2 step verification. This is why I started this process.For the first time in over a decade - I have not been able to pickup amazon items or make purchases - I am locked out of my account and have had several items shipped back because of this.

      We have not been given a fair and proper chance or assessment to resolve this issue.  As a matter fact, any communication from Amazon comes from a no-reply email. 
      -there isnt any phone number or email we can contact them to. 


      Amazon never texted ** or emails ** any explanation with instructions to reactivate our account; they may claim they sent it (they claim they sent it,) however, we thoroughly checked to confirm we didnt receive it.

      Hello ****, 

      I'm Sandhya 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 complaint details and I'm sorry to know that the product you purchased is not as expected. 

      In general, we issue a full refund when an item is returned in new condition as long as the carrier receives the returned package within 30 days of the day you received it from us (90 days for eligible baby items purchased from or fulfilled by Amazon).

      However, you may be able to return the item for a partial refund. Upon checking, I see that you are eligible to get refund amount of $38.24 and a restocking fee of $9.00 applies as you are returning outside of the 30-day return period.

      You can see details of our returns information here: ******************************************

      I request you to write back to us with your response. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this regard.

      I have returned the Aulanto Solar light on April 27 2023 through *** Label drop box and it was delivered on May 01 2023 by Amazon and attached the proof of delivery. I called Amazon customer care for refund amount of $49.99 excluding tax and they replied will issue the credit once they received in warehouse. But in spite of several calls to the Amazon customer care they said to wait 60 days till June 28 2023 for refund otherwise they will issue the refund amount of $49.99.When i called today the Amazon customer service said i need to call the *** carrier to file dispute but i have already called *** carrier and they replied they already send to Amazon warehouse and they can't create dispute and told Amazon to file dispute but Amazon make the customer with poor response and prolonging the issue that they can't do anything unless *** create the dispute. As a customer I returned the order and can't call Amazon customer service and *** multiple times for the return its Amazon duty to follow up on the return. Order no ending $7459 So, I request to refund the amount of $49.99 excluding tax to my credit at the earliest.

      Hello,My name is ***********Amazon.com **************** *********************** Amazon has closed my customer account without warning. I don't have another old account that violates ********************** policies. They do not give any information about this situation. I placed a few orders and the payment was taken from my card. But I can't view my order information. I am an Amazon Prime member. I pay a fee for this and my account is closed without any information. For this reason, I cannot benefit from Amazon prime services. I have newly delivered orders on my Amazon account. ********************** won't even let me return my products because I closed my account. ********************** is taking away my returns rights. Amazon is taking away my right to talk to customer service on chat. I want ********************** to open an account that has been unfairly closed.I have provided Amazon with all the information it needs to verify my account. As you can see in the screenshot, the mail from Amazon asks me to login and follow the instructions. But when I try to login to my account, I can't do anything. I had previously verified my account. I submitted all required documents to Amazon and it accepted. But after I placed the order, they closed my account again. I already verified my information. Please review the file named "restored account.PNG". Closing a verified account is not acceptable. Please make my account accessible again. I cannot access my old order information and invoices. In addition, I cannot use my return rights because I cannot log in to my Amazon account. I cannot access customer service to resolve my order issues. I urgently request activation of my account.

      Hello,
      Amazon reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, terminate customer rights to use *******************************************, remove or edit content, or cancel orders at its sole discretion.
      We removed this customers access to their buyer account on our site. We took this action because an investigation of their account indicated that the customers buyer account violated our terms and conditions.

      I signed up for Amazon Seller account and being that it won't allow me to add products even after connecting 3 of my cards I came to the conclusion that it isn't right for me. I have contacted Amazon customer service several times and I am being told I wasn't charged so no refund can be given, however my account information shows that I paid for a month of the "professional" account benefits. I got directly lied to as if I wouldn't go check. It's on my bank statement also. When I reply to the email they send normally it allows people to reply directly back, instead it tells you an error email because the address isn't correct. I guess that's what they do when they realize it's a complaint to try to throw off the history of the topic. I've been a long time user of ********************** and that's why I chose to try to sell my products on there, but this has changed my mind. I need my money back.

      Greetings from Amazon.com,

      I understand the seller is requesting a refund of the Professional selling fees charged to the seller account. However, after reviewing multiple resources, I can see the seller doesn't have any Professional selling fees pending or pushed through.

      I am unable to access the seller's attached images for their verification. Please have the seller respond with the following:

      1. The amount they were charged.
      2. The currency in which they were charged.
      3. Date the charge occurred.
      4. Marketplace of the Seller Central account.

      This will help narrow down what happened within the system to ensure the seller gets an appropriate resolution to their query.

      In response to their requests for:

      1. The amount they were charged. (($39.99))
      2. The currency in which they were charged. ****** Debit))
      3. Date the charge occurred. ((4/13/2023))
      4. Marketplace of the Seller Central account. ((The Brown **** In ******))

      The attachments can be resent they are valid and still available. I suggest increasing the size for better viewing.

      Greetings from Amazon.com,

      I understand the seller is requesting a refund of the Professional selling fees charged to the seller account.

      However, after reviewing multiple internal resources as well as the seller-facing transactions view, I can see the all charges for professional selling fees have failed to push through.

      I was able to view the seller's images, but they do not contain the bank statement which will provide proof that they have indeed been charged.

      Having said that, we recommend that they proceed with downgrading their account to an individual plan based on their concern so that no further charge attempts will be made by our system.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The photos given clearly show that it is a "Professional" seller account and in order for it to be labeled such the $39.99 fee would have to been paid. The bank statement shows that the purchase was made to Amazon. Bank statements do not list product specifics only Merchants. It's pretty dishonest and I used to think Amazon was a good company but obviously this is where it chooses to lose business. It seems that legal action is necessary and I'm definitely sharing this experience with everyone to prevent fraud and theft. I wouldn't advise the poor defense mechanism. 

      Sincerely,
