On October 14, 2022, Amazon froze my account. In said account I loaded giftcards that I bought on the airtm p2p platform (the supports of said purchases were sent to amazon). There were more than 30 gift cards. Amazon decided that my gift cards violated their terms and conditions and for that reason they would keep the money in my account. I am an honest person who has never stolen from anyone and I do not deserve to have the money stolen from my amazon account. When I call ******************** by phone they say that the money in my account is irrecoverable if I don't have the giftcard purchase receipts (since there are many transactions in airtm and having finished and those who sell the giftcards usually don't have the receipts prevents me from getting them). Amazon suggested that I create another account with another email to continue using their services. After a while I listened and in the first purchase I made they blocked my account again but this time I did ask for the receipts of the cards that were sold to me on the p2p platforms. Amazon stole again anyway. They closed the account again and rejected the receipts I sent them. Therefore there are two different accounts, one with 180 dollars ********************* and another with 85 dollars ********************* that amazon is maintaining illegally. I need help, I just want you to enable my account to use my money that cost me so much effort to get. I am attaching here the images of the chats with the people who sold me the gift cards that i also sent to amazon that show that I got the cards honestly. These are the cards in the first closed amazon account (180 USD). I am also attaching the two cards recipes that I loaded into the second account that ********************** closed (85 usd). I Attached are the closing emails for both accounts.Business Response

Amazon locked down my amount in September, 2021 so that I cant leave reviews or ask sellers questions about their products. I have emailed multiple times about this because this was done after I got bored one day and was going through leaving reviews from all the stuff Id bought in the last 3 months. ***** was still having our kids out of school due to shut downs for weeks at a time so I was spending hundreds of dollars a month on Amazon and they had started a ranking system on reviewers that I wanted to be a part of. They gave no warning. Next item I go to review gives me a red notice and to email them. However They ignore my emails and have only responded once and when I call they say I have to email them. I have been trying to be patient. I thought maybe it was a temporary ban since in the one email they sent they said If I had an explanation to show how I didnt violate their rules they would remove the ban. And I did but was ignored. So I waited giving ***** for *****, and then giving time thinking it would be temporary since I told them about my reviews spree and how it didnt violate guidelines. But they were just ignoring me and continuing to ignore me not even bothering to respond.Business Response

Basically, amazon has put a hold on multiple of my amazon accounts. *** spent lots of cash on their website and still havent come to a resolution about what happens to my account. They tell me they cant discuss what happened to my account and why Its closed due to the nature of their business but thats complete BS. If they wanted to tell me what was wrong, they would. They also seem to put unnecessary holds on my account just for purchasing the smallest things, its crazy.Business Response

-- Order number: 701-5931952-8074651 -- Order date: 03/18/2023 12:55 -- Disputed amount: ****** CAD -- Payment type: ******* Account number: **42 -- Items in order: 1 of (WD_BLACK 4TB SN850X NVMe Internal Gaming SSD Solid State Drive - Gen4 PCIe, M.2 ****, Up to ***** MB/s - WDS400T2X0E) for ****** CAD this complaint is geared more towards amazon ****** but I wanted the head office to address my frustration. I was a long time amazon customer, loved shopping there, I was excited to order the item in question. When it arrived on March24, I was excited to open the brown amazon envelope, much to my surprise and anger, when I opened the brown envelope, I looked in the bottom and the black box was open! the item was missing, obviously I was very upset and contacted amazon support, they did not offer much compassion, I was confused, how I could be treated so poorly, they said their records matched and would not offer any refund, they suggested a police report. The local police said for such a low value item the issue has to be resolved between me and amazon! but amazon was unwilling to help me, I felt backed into a corner with no where to turn. I literally did not know what to do, I had to terminate my account, which I did not want to do and file a chargeback with my credit card company, I am working through that process now. Amazon chargeback division sent me an email asking if the charge was authorized etc, and they have the authority to recharge me in the future on any credit cards on any account I have, this is fraud! an empty package was sent to me, obviously a shady employee took the item out of the box, I cannot believe this is happening and only my credit card company believes in me, look at the shocking pics I have uploaded here! I wish for amazon to apologize to me, reinstate my account (if possible) and promise to clear this matter once and for all and not to ever charge me in the future for an obvious theft that happened in my package, thank you kindlyBusiness Response

I am rejecting this response because: you have provided the same script I was told by reps! *** u even read my initial complaint! I said the local police in rural ****** do not provide reports for a civil matter involving me and amazon, after being a long time customer I feel like you are accusing me of being a criminal or lying. I have provided photo proof of what I received! Obviously employee theft is a problem , show the proof of the item that was sent? Of course if it was an empty box it would weigh the same especially for something so light to begin with, anyways I am appalled I am treated like a criminal, I have been going to local media and papers to spread my story, and a lot of people now know how terrible this situation is!

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 have experienced with order deliveries.
I'd like to inform you that, our delivery estimates are based on item availability, the quantity ordered, and selected delivery speed you choose. Also, estimated delivery windows are based on a number of factors, including the number of deliveries that a driver has to make and the distances between these deliveries.
Upon checking your recent order #***-4197408-3893852, your item was delivered 1 day later than Guaranteed Delivery Date. While our drivers work hard to ensure your packages are delivered on-time, there are times when the driver will deliver before or after this estimated window. Hope you will understand.
We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and I have forwarded your feedback with our internal team to rectify these errors.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

On February 26th I signed up for an Amazon account and was going to spend a $10 gift card. But when I finished placing the order, my account was immediately locked. After that they asked me to upload my personal information and a screenshot of my virtual credit card, and after I did that, they asked me to continue to provide the appropriate information. Regarding why I used a virtual credit card, I didn't want to expose my personal information and I didn't want my credit card to be stolen. After I uploaded my documents for the last time as they requested, they decided to close my account and denied to give back my gift card. This is a complete act of thievery and I can't accept Amazon doing this kind of behavior even if it's only $10.Business Response
