This is the 3rd product in a row Amazon has sent me that is used. Why is it ok for your centers to send me used items and charge me brand new money for them. Now, I am inconvenienced in having to rerun these items at my own cost to get to the *** center as I have a job. ********** for me is not an option. I need someone to call me and tell me how to receive the refunds for all of my used items and reimbursement for traveling to return them. The first two products are iPad keyboards. The newest is medicine! Yes used medicine.Business Response

So 4/19/2023 i was charged from amazon to an account that wasnt linked in anyway to amazon i had autopay linked with a credit card not with my debit card which IS linked to my bank which would then be linked to cashapp. That said my cashapp somehow got charged in my cashapp i had a set $ amount to pay for my girlfriends rent while she is away. That money should have never been touched. I reached out to amazon and no one could assist me, they either hung up on me let the chat time out or just ignored me. I dont believe that it is correct that they didnt have consent or access to my cashapp account but somehow they were still able to charge it without my knowing. I want to know how they were able to get to said account how they can charge without any type of consent and how this is ethically correctBusiness Response

Hello *****,

I'm Abhishek 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.
We've reviewed the complaint and we're sorry to know about the inconvenience caused by the charge on your back up payment method.
As informed by our customer service representative, We were unable to charge your selected payment method for order #D01-8135665-5949031. To prevent cancellation of the subscription, the charge was applied to the backup payment method we have on file for you.
To manage your backup payment methods, visit your Amazon Wallet (*************************************), click "Manage backup payment method settings" and update your preferences.
Turning this feature off prevents orders and subscriptions from using a backup payment method and may cause service and delivery interruptions if your selected payment method fails.
Further, I see that a full refund has been issued for this order on April 20, 2023.
We hope to see you soon.Regards,
Abhishek

My ability to review products has been suspended. I have reached out to Amazon multiple times (following instructions that THEY set forth) and not received any response to my inquiry. This is a service that I pay for and would like a response. I wanted to contact amazon to see how I can get my review ability reinstated. I have reviewed products...and my mistake has been only reviewing products that I felt deserved good ratings. I didn't review things that didn't warrant 5 stars. Thank you for any information and help in this matter! I love amazon reviews and find them very beneficial. I would appreciate the opportunity to contribute in the future.Thank you for your consideration!Business Response

I purchased ************* trough Amazon ******* Nov, 2022 and canceled it Feb 2023. For some reason I was charged 4 times each month. I talked to SLING on chat, and they said they will refund the money they overcharged. I got 2 refunds for Dec and 2 refunds for *** on 2/15/2023. I contacted SLING customer service again, and they told me they can not refund the rest of the money because this was one time "courtesy" refund. I said I do not understand how is this a curiously refund when they charged me 4 times for 1 service. They told me I have to call Amazon because that is where the service was purchased from. I contacted Amazon customer sevise, and they said I have to talk to SLING because they are the one that made the charges. I want 3 refunds for Nov, $20,00 each, 1 refund for Dec $40.00 and one refund for *** $40.00.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 complaint and checked with the concerned department in this matter.
They've reviewed your account thoroughly but they didn't find any charge for ******** Subscription. We request you to share the charge id for the charges.
A payment descriptor is text that appears on your bank, or credit card, statement, and shows details for which company processed a payment. Descriptors could include information such as the company name, date of the charge, and the State where the purchase was made.
Amazon descriptors will now also include a unique nine-digit Charge ID, which is linked to the charge for your order, or subscription.
Using the Charge ID, our customer service team can now help answer your questions about an unknown charge, in a much shorter time.

This is a combined dispute with Amazon customer service and policy practice that has continued for times that exceed a year. The concern is regarding Amazon returns. On April 14th I purchased a Dior Savauage colgone from Amazon and the item was not received in open condition. To amend potential confusion, I have a screenshot of the return policy listed for this item specifically, citing that within 30 days the item can be returned or replaced. After speaking to Amazon customer service, in typical ********************** customer service fashion, ********************** not only provided not viable solution but deferred this to a different department and completely misinterpreted and relayed an incorrect message to the "dedicated team" and now the dedicated team is refusing any solution because they have been misinformed from the beginning. The dedicated team has informed me of sending pictures of a damaged item when I NEVER said that any item was damaged but correctly identified the item as opened when received. This is not as simple as disputing the charge with Amazon, because Amazon customer service has many issues similar to this and I want this issue solved finally because my Amazon membership does not feel appreciated and Amazon is not honoring their own posted policy attached for each item. In addition to this issue is an issue that has persisted over a year regarding a ******* Robot Vacuum that also had a return refused. The item was damaged, and no matter how many videos and pictures have been sent to Amazon regarding this item, the dedicated team again provides misguided and no appropriate solution. Amazon advises me to contact my bank and my bank provides proof of this being incorrect. I would like to proceed further with Amazon providing an amendable solution in the future and abide by their outlined policy and to provide solution for this item, the ******* vacuum, issue that has been outstanding and this new issue regarding the cologne. Please advise arbitration if there's no solution.Business Response

Dear BBB Team, I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I am currently facing with my Amazon seller account. On November 10, 2022, my account was disabled, despite having all the necessary legal documents to support my objections. I had been submitting objections on a daily basis for six months, yet they were continually rejected by Amazon. This is particularly frustrating for me, as I had 150 items in Amazon's FBA warehouse, worth approximately $3750, which have now been destroyed due to the prolonged delay in reactivating my account. The issue I am experiencing is related to my Amazon seller account, which was established under the name StarringCo. My name is *******************************, and I am the owner of BAKI BEKTAS LIMITED, a company established in *******. I sold a previous company named DORUKSAN DIS TICARET LTD.STI on March 24, 2022, and transferred all its rights, including the associated Amazon account named ********************** AU. The Amazon account, ********************** AU, was subsequently deactivated on July 28, 2022, due to a policy violation. However, my current account, StarringCo, has been disabled due to its association with the deactivated Export AU account. Despite having legal documentation proving the transfer of ownership, including notarized sales contracts issued by the state, Amazon has been unresponsive to my requests to reactivate my account. I would like to clarify that StarringCo is my only Amazon account, and I have no ties to the deactivated Export AU account. Even ********************** staff members have confirmed that my documentation is valid, yet my account remains disabled. This situation has caused significant disruption to my business operations, and I am seeking a resolution as soon as possible. I am confident that, with your assistance, justice can be served, and my account can be reactivated. I appreciate your attention to this matter and hope for a positive outcome I am 100% confident that my documents can resolve an issue legally. Please find attached documentsBusiness Response
