I bought paint from Amazon and a 3rd party seller on Amazon. It came pre mixed. It never listed that in the description. I requested a return. They said no returns. I talked to a supervisor. They gave me a return address and said I could return it for a full refund. I returned the item. They denied my refund. This is a scam. I filed a charge back with my bank and they are trying to collect the money from me. Why is Amazon allowing me to be scammed? Im a long time customer I cancelled all three of my subscriptionsBusiness Response

Amazon closed my account for no reason. As a father with cancer, i need this account for my safety and for my family's well being. When trying to place orders, they keep stating they need to verify billing info. I provide all the accurate information and documentation requested and the company provided no assistance. This is evil and now I cannot return orders that get a refund .Business Response

I returned 2 items on separate dates. The first order number 112-7022791-0018649. This return was received by Amazon on Jan. 25, 2023. I've had numerous chat conversations with Contact Us representatives. And they all assure me I'll be refunded. However still no refund. I've been told my inquiries have been escalated and Amazon will contact me. This hasn't happened either. I've also noticed that I only get an emailed copy of my chat transcripts for certain conversations and not all. My second item with tracking number 1Z973W5F9007815456. I asked for an Amazon credit as this item was a gift and I could not obtain a gift receipt. I was assured by multiple reps that I was eligible for a credit. And that one would be issued once item was received. This item was returned on March 6, 2023. I'm not sure why after being a loyal customer for years that I'm not receiving adequate customer service. But since this seems to be the direction Amazon is going , I will take my business to ******* instead. I am again requesting a refund and credit for my 2 items in Amazons procession.Business Response

I am writing this appeal because Amazon is violating my rights as a seller, particularly the right to receive income. Amazon stopped payment for no reason. I was not informed about this decision in any way. I can't withdraw funds from any European marketplace. All funds are in the "Reserve" status. I tried many times to get through to seller support, namely the Payment Team. On one of the last such calls, 04/07/2023, 07:17 - 07:28 (******* time zone), I was refused to redirect the call to the Payment Team. Besides, on every call I made, my case was promised to be transferred to the Payment Team. The support on the calls answered that the case would be transferred to the payment team, and they would write to me about the status of my account. I am still waiting to receive a single email in all this time explaining the reason for the reserve of funds. Before the reservation, my seller account was temporarily suspended due to verification. I provided all the information, and on March 24, I received confirmation by mail that now my Amazon payment account had been activated and I can now sell products. I would also like to remind Amazon employees of the Amazon Payments Europe User Agreement - Merchant Accounts clause 2.7 of Disbursements. In addition to any applicable account limits, we may restrict transactions to or from your Merchant Account or limit access to your e-money in such amounts and for such time as we reasonably deem necessary to protect us or other users if: (a) we are subject to financial risk (including, without limitation, for pending Chargebacks), (b) you have violated any term of this Agreement, (c) we are unable to verify your identity, (d) any dispute exists involving your Merchant Account or transaction conducted in connection therewith, or (e) needed to protect the security of our systems. Since my money got into the reserve status for no reason, I ask you to correct this technical error on my account and allow me to withdraw my funds.Business Response

I am a third-party seller on Amazon and am facing a horrible situation where my account was deactivated for Code of Conduct / Amazon Drop Shipping Policy issues. When starting my account, I made a huge mistake and hired an Amazon Specialist to manage my account. I did not realize this Service Provider would use my account to break Amazon policy. I was not involved in the strategies that they used to inappropriately use drop-shipping and ended up with my Amazon account being deactivated.I understand that this was my fault for trusting the third party service provider. I take full responsibility for my mistakes, and I have done my due diligence to ensure that this will not happen again and to maintain close, proactive control over the business and online store to ensure all activities comply with Amazon policy and are conducted in an ethical manner. Amazon is no longer responding to my appeals.Please, can you help?Business Response

Customer Answer

Complaint: 19916900
I am rejecting this response because:1. The response is contradictory. Amazon initially sent a message to BBB stating that they would contact me to seek more information, but failed to do so. Now they claim that the account "does not meet the conditions for reinstatement". These responses are mutually exclusive and inconsistent, and inidcate that one of them was false. Why is Amazon engaging in abusive consumer practices by making false and contradictory statements to me and to BBB?
2. The statement that the account "does not meet the conditions for reinstatement" is vague and unparticularized. Amazon has never stated what the conditions or criteria are, or explained what would be required for the account to fulfil those conditions. It is unacceptable, abusive and oppressive to apply criteria and conditions that are not disclosed. They should transparently disclose what those conditions are.

I received Order # ***-4311260-5701010 (Ring Solar Panel) on 12/27/22 as a Christmas gift. I live in the Midwest so have very limited time to install over the winter months. I installed on 4/9/23 since the weather was nice on a weekend. The solar panel is not working. On the app, it states that the Solar Panel is "Not Connected". I look at the description on the order and it states "Ring Solar Panel For Ring Video Doorbell 2, Video Doorbell 3, Video Doorbell 3 Plus, Video Doorbell 4, Battery Doorbell Plus - Black". I call Ring and they tell me that my doorbell is a Ring Generation 2 doorbell. The Ring Video Doorbell 2 is something different. I file a complaint with them as they can do nothing for me. I was on the phone with them for over an hour. I call Amazon and file a complaint. Since I past the 30 day return window, I cannot return. I just wanted to write this complaint so that customers in the future will not be fooled by vague descriptions. I am no longer a Ring customer. I canceled my membership/subscription. And after this little fiasco, I am going to start seeking business with other companies as Amazon has grown so large that customer service has dipped considerably.Business Response

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 complaint details and I'm sorry for the inconvenience you had with the item you received as gift.
I'd like to bring you notice that, ring recommends at least 3-4 hours of direct sunlight, depending on your usage. You will want to make sure there are no obstructions that could be casting a shadow on your Ring Solar Panel such as an extended roof, trees, bushes, etc.
Upon checking, I see that order was placed on December 27, 2022. It looks like return window expired on January 26, 2023.
As informed by our customer service team, we accept the return of merchandise as long as it's returned in new condition within 30 days of receipt. Im sorry, were not able to accept the return now. Hope you will understand our limitations.
We appreciate your patience and understanding in this regard.

I bought 7 books with the idea of doing a Bible Study with a friend. Once I knew which books I needed to return, followed all of Amazon's procedures and was supposed to get a refund in the amount of $80.33. In the meantime my bank changed and updated our credit cards so that the card I had with Amazon was no longer valid. I have received a number of emails about this asking if I want a check in the refund amount or an Amazon gift card. I have answered every emial with a request for a check. Still progress. I have spoken to 7 different people at Amazon trying to resolve within the last month and a half - I have explained the situation and was promised that it would taken care of. I called again today and the supervisor that I spoke with told me that no refund had been requested. I don't know what else to do. I need help in getting this resolved. I am requesting help from the Better Business Bureau because they will listen to you. They are definitely not listening to me.Business Response

We received your email about 112-2649409-3469836.We are aware that this order has been disputed more than once. Most card issuers allow their cardholders to dispute a charge a second time if they are unsatisfied with the original outcome.
Amazons role in resolving card disputes is limited. We can only give the card issuer documents related to the transaction once which has already been done. We will not be able to take any further action on the dispute.

Greetings from Amazon.com,
Thanks for contacting **. We recognize how crucial it is for their business to get all questions answered.
Upon reviewing this request, we noticed that the account is not eligible for closure due to present inventory in one of our fulfillment centers, hence, the selling partner must either request the removal or disposal of the same.
Other requirements the seller needs to take into consideration prior to request the account closure:
- Fulfill any outstanding orders.
- Wait 90 days after your last sale to ensure the A-to-z Guarantee claims period is honored.
- Wait until you have a zero balance in your account (your next disbursement or charge date).
- Resolve all of your transactions with buyers, including issuing any necessary refunds.
- Confirm that your bank account information on file is up-to-date to receive a final payment.
- Check your Performance notifications to make sure that all the reasons for your account's suspension have been resolved, and your account is restored.
We see that the selling partner is using the self-service option to close the account and the system is informing the request cannot be completed due to one or more requirements are not met. Please indicate the seller to access the "Remove the Unfulfillable Inventory" page in seller central to see the unit that is preventing the account to be closed, furthermore, they need to make sure that there are no pending payments before requesting the account closure.
The Seller can also request support from our teams using the link below, the last case requesting support was created 9 months ago, and it is not related to this topic, hence, the seller has the option to contact our support teams when they need further assistance with inconveniences like this.
******************************************************************
Therefore, we regret that the resolution offered is not what they have hoped for; however, please be assured that we have worked with several internal teams to obtain the proper resolution after the necessary investigation was completed.

Hello from Amazon.com,
I understand that the seller is requesting to get reimbursement for monthly subscription fee and close their account.
The Professional selling plan is a monthly subscription service that provides a suite of tools and benefits, including bulk listings, Amazon Marketplace Web Services (Amazon MWS), automated pricing, advanced business reports, customizable shipping rates, and eligibility for top placement on detail pages.
Seller can only become eligible for a Professional selling plan refund if seller has not used any Professional tools or benefits after signing up. Seller has listings and as per policy, sellers with listings are not eligible for refunds. The subscription fee is charged for the use of tools and benefits.
In regards with closing their account, seller currently has inventory stored at one or more of our fulfillment centers. This inventory needs to be either returned to you or disposed of before your account can be closed. Seller can confirm this inventory through their Inventory Amazon Fulfills page in Seller Central or through this link (log in required):
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************;
To create an inventory removal request, seller can visit ***********************************************************
Typically, removal orders are processed within 14 business days. With the exception of recalled products, products designated for removal remain listed on Amazon can be purchased by customers until they are picked from inventory.
Note: Removal order processing may take 30 business days or more during the holiday season and peak removal periods.
For more information about removal orders, including removal order fees, see Remove Inventory (overview): **********************************************************

I am rejecting this response because:You are making it impossible to close my account.
I have asked for all inventory to be destroyed, and you guys are still holding my account hostage
and charging me despite numerous requests to end my **** subscription.
You guys literally provide zero phone number to handle account closures, and have made account closures
problematic for a reason it seems... I am asking you again to close my Amazon account and destroy any
"inventory" you claim to be in there... I will not pay another month's worth of fees because you guys want to **** the
blood out of your previous clients.
Do whatever it takes to close it ASAP
Sincerely,

Hello from Amazon.com,
I understand that the seller is requesting reimbursement for monthly subscription fee and closing their account.
The Professional selling plan is a monthly subscription service that provides a suite of tools and benefits, including bulk listings, Amazon Marketplace Web Services (Amazon MWS), automated pricing, advanced business reports, customizable shipping rates, and eligibility for top placement on detail pages.
To qualify for a refund on a Professional selling plan, the seller must not have utilized any Professional tools or benefits since enrolling. Seller has listings and as per policy, sellers with listings are not eligible for refunds. The subscription fee is charged for the use of tools and benefits.
In regard to closing their account, the seller currently has inventory stored at one or more of our fulfillment centers. This inventory needs to be either returned to you or disposed of before your account can be closed. The seller can confirm this inventory through their Inventory Amazon Fulfills page in Seller Central or through this link (log in required):
*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************;I have included a screenshot of their remaining item in this response for your reference.
To create an inventory removal request, seller can visit ***********************************************************
Typically, removal orders are processed within 14 business days. With the exception of recalled products, products designated for removal remain listed on Amazon can be purchased by customers until they are picked from inventory.
Note: Removal order processing may take 30 business days or more during the holiday season and peak removal periods.

I am rejecting this response because:The link you provided literally takes me nowhere when copy and pasted (reference attachment).
This is my very point... You guys are beating around the **** after numerous requests to close my account.
I have also sent a snapshot of all of the inventory I could find being requested to be destroyed long ago.
Why is it taking you 14 days to destroy one item? Close my account and stop playing games.
You have made your site impossible to navigate, so for the 18th time... close my account effective immediately!
Sincerely,

Hello from Amazon.com,
I understand that the seller is requesting their account closure to be completed.
Upon reviewing this request, kindly allow me to inform you that there is 1 FBA unit of ASIN B0989FHT71 FNSKU X002XYMQJP remaining in seller's account. Please see screenshot attached.
We noticed that the account is not eligible for closure due to this present inventory in one of our fulfillment centers. Hence, the selling partner must either request the removal or disposal of the same.
Once the units are removed, the account will be eligible for closure. The seller can then terminate their account by using this tool:
***************************************************************************
We see that the selling partner is using the self-service option to close the account and the system is informing the request cannot be completed due to one or more requirements are not met. Please indicate the seller to access the "Remove the Unfulfillable Inventory" page in seller central to see the unit that is preventing the account to be closed. Furthermore, seller must also sure that there are no pending payments before requesting the account closure.
Please also note that seller's subscription fee reimbursement request has been declined because the seller has used their professional selling tools and benefits.
