      Hello,


      We have reviewed the issue filed for the Order 113-4281784-7829022 and noticed that the Buyer wished to return an item for a refund.


      Seller has provided the return instructions to the Buyer on time. ***** has stated that the item was returned using tracking 1ZR2313V0316929897. Upon checking the tracking provided, we cannot confirm any delivery confirmation. There are no evidences that confirm that the item was returned to the Seller.


      Hence, we are unable to issue a refund for the order at the moment.

      I am rejecting this response because: My previous request has nothing to do with the funds , so I'd like to know if Amazon can comprehend my appeal to reactivate my account, I need to know why my action plan was rejected, and the appeal should not be automatically denied; instead, it should be carefully reviewed.

      To Whom It May ********* am writing here because Amazon wrongfully suspended my account and now refuses to review my appeals. This clearly violates my right to conduct legal business and defend myself.The situation is like this. On February 10, 2023I received a suspension notification from Amazon saying that I had violated Amazon Seller Code of Conduct and Dropshipping Policy. However, I have not been using the dropshipping model at all for a year now.I admit that on December 3, 2021, I received a warning from Amazon saying that I violated Amazon's Dropshipping Policy. And I did violate it back then, as I described in the appeal I sent 3 days later. My FBM privileges were restored, and I promised to smoothly transfer my business to 100% FBA in 6 months.I managed to transfer it in 3 months. March 1, 2022, was the day I sold my last FBM order. On August 1, 2022, I started selling private label.So I did not use dropshipping for a year, and Amazon thinks I violated the Dropshipping policy. That is complete nonsense. To prove that I sell FBA only, please take a look at the documents attached to this letter. There you will be able to find the invoices from my supplier, screenshots of the shipments to Amazon FBA, and photos of my FBA-labeled boxes. I have been selling only FBA for a year now.Besides, I do not see any reasoning behind accusing me of the Seller Code of Conduct violations, as I explained in the appeal I attached to this case as well.Considering all the above, I kindly ask you to start your own investigation into this wrongful suspension and let me sell on Amazon again.Best regards.

      Complaint: 19935426
      Dear BBB,

      I disagree with the business response because Amazon is deceiving you to look better in the eyes of BBB and the people who may look into this complaint. 

      In the latest response to BBB, you may see Amazon claimed they require more information to complete a review, and they requested the necessary information from the seller via email on 4/17/2023. However, what I received on that day to my email was this email, the screenshot of which I attach below. Instead of actually requesting the info they claimed they needed, they just told me the account was not recoverable. 

      First and foremost, I did not violate the policies they claimed I violated. And I mentioned that in the previous email to BBB (if anybody from Amazon reads this, check the text of the complaint and a bunch of appeals from my account). Theres nothing more to say in this regard. Unless Amazon specifically asks me for some info. Which they didnt.

      Second, this is unbelievable hypocrisy from Amazon telling BBB they will investigate the issue and ask for additional info, and instead just telling us not to bother trying to reactivate the account. This is what Ive been telling BBB all the way: the gigantic mega company feels themselves at the top of the world and suspends anyone, even if its based on nothing. This is not how a democratic society should work because this is a violation of my right to be an entrepreneur. 

      Amazon tries to look good in the eyes of BBB, therefore, the public, but in reality, they just do whatever they want to without really looking into the issue. And such behavior spreads to everything Amazon does to Amazon sellers, actually.

      I demand a fair investigation. Without hiding facts, running from responsibility and hypocrisy. I am keen to cooperate. I did not do what Amazon accused me of, and I will be fighting until my account is reactivated. 

      Sincerely,

      *************************************

      Hello ******,

      I am Srujan from Amazon.com. I am writing in response to a complaint filed on your behalf by the Better Business Bureau BBB - I have provided the BBB with a copy of this message.

      I understand that you haven't been refunded on the returned the items from the orders ***-3187400-4261828, ***-5732925-7934605, ***-8412224-0689853 along with the item from the order #***-4692265-2501836 that has been refunded. I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused with this.

      I've reviewed the details and see that there isn't any returned processed for any of the item(s). Once the carrier has received your return package, it can take a while to arrive at our returns center. In most situations, returns are processed by Amazon in 14 days. In some situations, it may take up to 60 days to be processed. This additional time allows our ************** to find and process the item.
             
      If you haven't been issued a refund by May 25, 2023, we recommend that you reach out to the carrier that you used to return the item to Amazon.

      Without the items being processed at our returns center, we won't be able to refund the items.
             
      Thank you for your understanding. Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.

      Complaint: 19935373

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Amazon is acting in bad faith - they are ignoring that they have received the package that I was instructed by **** (Amazon Customer Support) on March 21, 2023:
      "11:03 AM PDT ****: if your including all the items in one box, you'll use one of the Canada post return shipping labels and put all the other return labels inside the box"

      This box has been in Amazon's possession since March.  Amazon has been holding both the returned items and my funds since March.

      As was repeatedly stated in chats with Amazon:

      "Refunds are issued once returns are received by Amazon.
      After you drop off your return, it can take up to three weeks for Amazon to get it and process a refund."

      The returns have been in Amazon's possession since March.  Please process this refund as repeatedly promised by Amazon.

      Sincerely,

      I was censored from leaving a review that was in no way in violation of the terms and conditions for leaving reviews. It is clear based on multiple claims from others that Amazon works to censor unfavorable reviews from their site to taint public perception of their products. Not only is this an issue of ethics but it is also not legal as they not only violate their own terms but also the 1st amendment rights of myself and others. I have submitted an appeal but havent obtained a response in 6 months on the status of the appeal. I demand that my review be reinstated as well as an apology from the business for their terrible conduct. Please advise!

      Greetings,I received a notification from Amazon that my account was deactivated due to being related to *********************************** 3. My account was deactivated in error since I'm not the real owner of the *********************************** 3 account. I attached the following documents to confirm this: -- Employment Agreement;-- Notice of Termination;-- Dismissal Order;-- Letter of Settlement Payments. The real owner of the *********************************** 3 account is ***********************************. She is my former employee. I stopped any employment relations with the *********************************** 3 account owner long ago. I want to describe the chronology from the beginning of my cooperation with *********************************** to the final termination: On August 30, 2022, *********************************** and I signed and notarized the Employment Agreement (please, see Employment Agreement). On September 30, 2022, *********************************** notified me about terminating our Employment Agreement (please, see Notice of Termination). According to the Employment Agreement, she was obliged to notify me 7 days before the termination. On October 6, 2022, I signed Dismissal Order seven days later to stop our employment relations finally. After I signed this document, *********************************** was formed and never worked with me. The reason for the erroneous "related" between my account and *********************************** 3 account was the following: -- The same email address of user permission that my former employee used on my seller account and her personal seller account.-- The same business address was in the Business Addresses Section I broke all of these connections to *********************************** 3 account. ********************** Support can ensure this by reviewing my Plan of Action, which I attached to this complaint. Therefore, I request Amazon Support to reinstate my account because it was deactivated in error. Thank you so much for your attention and participation.

      I am rejecting this response because: On April 17, I received a response from Amazon through the internal system. Amazon Support is able to reinstate my account. Still, they required additional information to reinstate my seller account. Therefore, I want to provide additional information and supporting documentation to clarify my problem.


      Attached supporting documentation:


      -- Employment Agreement;
      -- Notice of Termination;
      -- Dismissal Order;
      -- Letter of Settlement Payments - additional evidence.


      I want to remind Amazon Support that my account was deactivated in error due to being related to the *********************************** 3 account. The real owner of the *********************************** 3 account is ***********************************. She is my former employee.


      I stopped any employment relations with the owner of the *********************************** 3 account long ago. I want to describe the chronology from the beginning of my cooperation with *********************************** to the final termination:


      On August 30, 2022, *********************************** and I signed and notarized the Employment Agreement (please, see Employment Agreement). 


      On September 30, 2022, *********************************** notified me about terminating our Employment Agreement (please, see Notice of Termination). According to the Employment Agreement, she was obliged to notify me 7 days before the termination.


      On October 6, 2022, I signed the Dismissal Order and the Letter of Settlement Payments seven days later to finally terminate our employment relations. After I signed these documents, *********************************** was formed and never worked with me.


      The reasons for the erroneous "related" between my account and *********************************** 3 account were the following:


      -- The same email address of user permission that my former employee used on my seller account and her personal seller account. *********************************** used her email address as user permission on my account. Also, her email address was associated with her *********************************** 3 seller account as the primary email address.


      -- The same business address was in the Business Addresses Section. *********************************** used my company's business address in her *********************************** 3 seller account to evade taxes. I just found out about this fact when the deactivation of my seller account.


      I broke all of these connections to the *********************************** 3 account. ********************** Support may ensure this by reviewing my Plan of Action, which I submitted through the appeal button.


      Therefore, my seller account was deactivated in error. I request Amazon Support to review additional information and documents and reinstate my account. Thank you so much for your attention and participation.



      Sincerely,

      Complaint: 19934969

      I am rejecting this response because: On April 17, I received a notification from Amazon that my account was deactivated due to being related to another account. I must provide additional information to reinstate it. However, Amazon Support did not specify the storefront of the related account.

      I can't be sure if my account was deactivated due to being related to the seller account named "*********************************** 3". However, from the information I received previously, I can assume that Amazon Support wants to review information about this related account.

      So, the account owner named "*********************************** 3" is my fired employee - ***********************************. I stopped any business relations with this person on October 6, 2022. After that, I never contacted her. Therefore, I can't reactivate or assist in reactivating her account. Moreover, I am not obliged to interfere with her business and seller account. I attached the following documents to confirm my statements:

      -- Employment Agreement;
      -- Notice of Termination;
      -- Dismissal Order;
      -- Letter of Settlement Payments - additional evidence.

      The Amazon system erroneously thought that I am the owner of the seller account named "*********************************** 3" for the following reasons:

      -- The same email address of user permission that my former employee used on my seller account and her personal seller account. 

      My explanation. *********************************** used her email address as user permission on my account. Also, her email address was associated with her "*********************************** 3" seller account as the primary email address.

      -- The same business address was in the Business Addresses Section. 

      My explanation. *********************************** used my company's business address to evade taxes in her "*********************************** 3" seller account. I just found out about this fact when the deactivation of my seller account.

      I attached my Plan of Action to this response. Amazon Support may review it to get more information about my problem. But I assure you I broke all the connections to the seller account "*********************************** 3".

      So, I am the owner of one account - SteelBox. I do not own any other seller accounts on Amazon.com. In this regard, I just cannot violate the Multiple Accounts Policy, as I own the only account. My account was deactivated by mistake. Based on the above, I request Amazon Support to reactivate my account.

      Sincerely,

      I am rejecting this response because: On April 26, I received a notification from Amazon Support that they are able to reinstate my account, but I need to provide additional information to assist them. Therefore, I would like to provide the necessary information and supporting documentation.

      My account was deactivated due to being related to an account named "*********************************** 3". The actual owner of the related account named "*********************************** 3" is my fired bookkeeper - ***********************************. This person worked in my company from August 30, 2022, to October 6, 2022. I attached the following documents to confirm my statements:

      -- Employment Agreement;
      -- Notice of Termination;
      -- Dismissal Order;
      -- Letter of Settlement Payments;
      -- Affidavit.

      The Amazon system erroneously thought that I am the owner of the seller account named "*********************************** 3" for the following reasons:

      -- The same email address of user permission that my former employee used on my seller account and her personal seller account. 

      My explanation. *********************************** used her email address as user permission on my account. Also, her email address was associated with her "*********************************** 3" seller account as the primary email address.

      -- The same business address was in the Business Addresses Section. 

      My explanation. *********************************** used my company's business address to evade taxes in her "*********************************** 3" seller account. I just found out about this fact when the deactivation of my seller account.

      ********************** Support may review my Plan of Action that I submitted through the appeal button to receive more information about connections that I severed.

      I can't help *********************************** to reinstate her seller account because she is from *******. Currently, she does not have the ability and desire to reactivate her seller account due to the humanitarian catastrophe in *******.

      Please, note! I attached the Affidavit that was notarized as additional support for my statements.

      So, I am the owner of one seller account - SteelBox. I do not own any other seller accounts on Amazon. In this regard, I just cannot violate the Multiple Accounts Policy, as I own the only account. My account was deactivated in error. Based on the above, I request Amazon Support to reactivate my account.
