      Dear BBB, My name is ************************* an Amazon seller, and my company Biggest Room of All, **** owns the Amazon store Genuine Value Mart registered with the email address: ******************** (Merchant ID:?**************. I am writing to submit a complaint and appeal the suspension of our seller account on October 16, 2022, which we believe was unwarranted. We have been selling on Amazon.com since 2019 and have always maintained a high level of professionalism and compliance with Amazon's policies. Our account was suspended due to a violation of Amazon's Drop Shipping Policy, but we want to provide additional information to clarify the situation. Our supplier, Earthwise Nutrition, fulfilled 184 orders using their own shipping label, which caused confusion among customers about the actual seller. We acknowledge our oversight in not detecting Earthwise Nutrition's non-compliance with the Partnership Agreement that required plain, non-branded packaging for all orders. This led to a violation of Amazon's Seller Code of Conduct by allowing a third party to fulfill orders without clearly identifying us as the seller. Since our account was suspended, we have taken immediate action to rectify the situation. We terminated our relationship with Earthwise Nutrition and committed never to use drop shipping again. We have submitted all the necessary documents to reinstate our seller account. However, our appeals have been consistently denied by Seller Performance. We pledge to sell 100% of our inventory through Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA) as soon as our seller account is reinstated. We understand that our failure to comply with Amazon's policies has caused inconvenience to both Amazon and our customers. We respectfully request the immediate reinstatement of our seller account and the release of our funds, which were approximately $1,000 USD at the time of our account deactivation.

      We have conducted a review and confirmed the correct enforcement action has been taken on the account. Seller does not fit for reinstatement at this time.

      On March 21 I spent around 6 hours with about 8 different reps, trying to resolve the issue of missing cashback from me using *********************** where you submit receipt, and get cashback credited to your amazon gift card balance. They put me thru 9 circles of Hades. Those reps kept passing me around. The last one said she would get back to me very soon.Never heard back. I am attaching the screenshots with $10 rebate that has been processing since being submitted on March 12 (Nasonex). Also attaching an email sent to the customer service.I would love to attach a transcript of my 3/21 8 hrs long chat, but they do not provide that transcript, and it' only available in the app.Thank you,***********************

      I am rejecting this response because:

      Im not sure if Amazon really believes that response addressed my issue.
      In fact, this is the same jerking around that I described in my complaint.
      I am telling them that they did not pay me the $10 rebate, that has been showing as processing in their app for over a month now. And I also included multiple supporting docs/proof with my submission.
      But for the sake of this conversation, yes , ******* from Amazon.com, I can confirm that I am, indeed, doing this correctly (otherwise my pending submission wouldnt be in the system, showing as processing, would it?)

      I ordered crocs on 3/30/23 $28.60 order # ***-6225401-2695436. Today on 4/4/23 a mixer was delivered and the order status of the crocs showed delivered in the status. I contacted Amazon to return the wrong item, but requested to please have it picked up at my door for free, as the mistake made was not on my end. I was told they can not do that, it will cost me $7.99. I asked them for a curtesy credit to my account in the amount of $7.99, the amount of the shipping cost, I was again told that that is not an option they have. I talked to a supervisor and received the same answer. They charged me $28.60 for crocs I never received and are not willing to take on the responsibility for the return of the wrongful delivered item. I was told repeatedly I can either drop it off at a drop-off location (and spend my time driving an item around I did not order), or pay the return fee, either way money out of my pocket for a mistake that wasnt mine and I had no control over.In essence Amazon charged my credit card money for an item they did not deliver. This is fraud!Please help!******

      Hello ******,

      I'm Praveen 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'm sorry you didn't get the option to get the item picked up and you have to pay for returning the item.

      Even when I gave it a try, I didn't get an option to arrange for a pickup as only option available to return the item was through drop off. However, please don't worry, I've issued a full refund for the order in the amount of $28.60. You will see the refund in your original payment method in 5 business days. 

      As you still have a return label, you can return it when you find time on or before May 4, 2023 (29 days left). However, please be assured that its not mandatory to return the item. You can keep or donate it whichever you feel is comfortable. 

      Thanks again for being a Prime member. I hope you have a cheerful rest of the week.

      Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.

      I'm sorry for the trouble you had with the Prime membership charges.

      I see that your Prime membership was changed from one plan to other between one month Prime and weekly prime membership. This is the reason why there is confusion. I see that you were refunded for all the months except March 27, 2023, February 27, 2023 and February 16, 2023 (Paid Trial).

      I would request you to please check your refund emails and let us know so that I can help you further.

      Amazon has stolen and withheld $1,021.84 of proceeds for sales of items on their marketplace platform. My Amazon Seller account was suspended on June 22, 2021 due to an Amazon Policy violation committed by a terminated employee. I am owed a total of $1,021.84 and am looking to escalate to have my funds disbursed. Thus far Ive been patiently going through the normal resolution process with the Amazon Seller Central and the Payment Funds team for more than 1+ years with no resolution. I was instructed to write to payments-****************************** to inquire about my account balance. I received a response on October 29, 2021 from disbursement-******************************** which indicated Amazon completed their review and determined the funds in my account will not be disbursed to be because my seller account has been used to engage in deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity that ***** our customers, other selling partners, and our store. I was again told that they may not respond to further emails about this issue.Ive reached out to Amazon on multiple occasions and explained the account violations and attempted to work a solution so my funds would be disbursed. Amazon continually has given me the run around, and now Ive noticed that as of 2/25/2022, the funds have been subtracted from my earnings on the website as Other. My ******************** with these teams indicate that they may not respond to further emails about this issue, which is highly frustrating. Again, as the owner of the business I continually take responsibility for the actions of the employee, causing the account violations and understand if Amazon does not wish to reinstate my account, but I believe the amount of $1,021.84 in my reserve is rightfully due to me.Attached to this complaint is the POA(Plan of Action) submitted to Amazon which outlines all communications with the company, including rebutting claims and requesting payment. It is my wish to resolve this without seeking legal remedies

      Hello,

      After completing our investigation and reviewing the information the seller has provided, we have determined that the Amazon seller account has been used to engage in deceptive, fraudulent, or illegal activity that ***** our customers, other selling partners, and our store. The funds in the account will not be disbursed to the seller.

      Due to the proprietary nature of our business, we do not provide details on our investigation methods.

      For more information on this policy, please review our "Funds withholding policy":

      This is the same exact copy/pasted response they continue to provide, despite me providing evidence that I have not broken the law or committed any actions that harm Amazon or their customers. I provided sourcing receipts for all items, tracking information and documentation related to the account suspension. None of the buyers filed claims or reported issues with their orders, however Amazon continues to hold onto the sale proceeds, citing damage to them and their customers.

      I will never sell on their store again but continue to believe that this money is owed to me. I sold items on their planform, fair and square and they continue to fraudulently deny disbursement. This is an unfair business practice. If they continue to deny access to my funds I will move onto other litigation.

      I purchased an order on 3/22, order # ***-5679173-5141067 for various items. Everything I ordered listed free returns with no reasoning or justification online. I purchased 4 of the NICETOWN Full shade curtain panels pair of energy smart & noise blocking blackout curtains. I returned all 4 items, as they were not noise blocking and did not measure to the 84 inches in length (they were shorter) and arrived late. I returned all 4 items to *** with a QR code that was scanned for a free return. I was charged a return shipping fee for a free return of two items/curtains. I had a QR code to scan at the *** store and was charged a total of $13.98 or $6.99 for each item. Both items were packaged and I took the items to the *** store, they were not returned through a scheduled pick up. I am extremely disappointed in this experience, as the item ordered was listed as free returns. Therefore, I had $6.99 ($13.98 total) deducted from each item returned when it was listed as free returns. This is misleading if you are going to charge me for a return when it is listed as free returns online. I want to be refunded for the shipment charges that were deducted. I have called customer service twice today and dealt with very rude associates who hung up on me. I also called last week and was told directly that I should not have had to pay for shipping/ or had shipping deducted because the item was free returns and listed that online. I received an email that Amazon was researching and would contact me in 3 days but it has been more than 3 business days. The item is for two NICETOWN full shade curtain panels in the silver grey with the order number listed as ***-5679173-5141067. Please advise!Thank you,*****************************

      Hello *******,

      I'm Praveen 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.

      Free returns are available for the shipping address you chose. You can return the item for any reason in "new and unused condition": no shipping charges.

      Both the items which were received where you were charged shipping charges were damaged and hence return shipping charges were deducted.

      I've issued return shipping charges refund for $13.98 as a one time exception. You will see the refund in 5 business days.

      Below are the details of my paid order to Amazon.com. Although Amazon.com continues to claim the order is "on its way", Amazon has still not fulfilled the order approximately 6 months later. I have pursued every form of contact with Amazon.com to resolve their failure to deliver the order without any attempt by Amazon.com to fulfill the order. ******** claims that I would be contacted by a resolution team member within a week have been false. I have never been contacted by Amazon. All I have done over and over again is to try to get my paid-for order delivered, and Amazon.com has refused to do so. I can provide copies of many of my communications with Amazon.com attempting to get my order fulfilled.ORDER PLACED November 10, 2022 TOTAL $193.14 SHIP TO ************************** ORDER # ***-9590538-0769801 View order details View invoice On the way, but it's running late Track your package for details XP Lite Lectric Bike | **************** Bike - Weighs Only 46lbs | 40+ Mile Range w/ 5 Pedal-Assist Levels (Lectric Blue)

      Hello *****,

      I'm Praveen 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'm sorry for the trouble you had with the order.

      As this is shipped and sold by a seller, we contacted the seller. While we are unable to resend the item, we will take appropriate action in this case. 

      *****, as you didn't receive the order, we would like to issue refund. I would like to know if you wish to get the refund to the original payment method or in the form of a gift card to your account. 

      Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.

      I am rejecting this response because: I paid Amazon for the item in November 2022. Amazon indicates that the item is on its way. Amazon continues to claim it is on its way. I want the item that I have paid Amazon for and that Amazon has promised me. I am positive that Amazon can figure out a way to get me the item that I paid for and that Amazon promised me. Amazon can and must give me the item.

      Sincerely,

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

      On 3/18/23 I ordered a back scrubber from Amazon. I was told it would be delivered by 3/23/23. On 3/24 I received an email from Amazon stating that shipping was delayed without explanation/new delivery date. On 3/28/23 I attempted to request a refund through the app but was unsuccessful. My DIL then called & spoke to a ***, *******, who, as a courtesy, ordered a replacement, did not cancel the original order & issued a refund. We then asked to have the details of his actions emailed to me so there wouldnt be any confusion. He complied with our request. Once I received the email, I noticed that it didnt state that no returns were required, so my DIL called again & spoke to *** Tshiamo, who explained that when the order is refunded without cancellation it is SOP that no return is required. He then sent an additional email to confirm the amended order. On 4/3/23 I had not received either of my orders. My DIL called again & spoke with a supervisor named ******. ****** refused to honor the above mentioned promise, & stated that the package was lost in transit, therefore, it was cancelled & since I had received a refund, if I wanted the item I would have to repurchase it. My DIL asked to speak to her boss, she refused to comply & refused to give her EID so she could be referenced in forthcoming complaints. My DIL called Amazon corporate offices, only to be told by receptionist, ****, that any inquiries had to be made in writing, but said she could transfer my DIL back to the CCC, to speak with another supervisor to get requested info. When she was transferred, the *** hung up on my DIL when she hesitated to offer the explanation due to repeatedly having to explain & asked to speak to supervisor. She then called corporate office again & was told by receptionist, *****, that Amazon corporate had no ability to receive phone calls. She then informed ***** that a call to FTC was next for deceptive business practices. Which she did. I want what was promised me.

      Hello ******,

      I'm Praveen 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'm sorry for the trouble you had with the order.

      I understand that you neither received the original item nor the replacement. However, a full refund  was issued by the agent for the item. I can check and verify the same. 

      I see that the item isn't in stock and hence the replacement never shipped. As you have received neither of them, a refund is the appropriate solution and the only solution in these circumstances. 

      Unfortunately there is no other option available with us as of now.

      Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.

      We look forward to see you soon.

      Regards,

      Complaint: 19894521

      I am rejecting this response because:My MIL got the guaranteed promise, in writing, TWICE, from Amazon stating that she would be receiving the item, at no cost to her, and now Amazon is trying to refuse to honor the WRITTEN, GUARANTEED PROMISE!! And they are lying about why it was delayed in the first place!! Im getting two different stories as to why my MIL never received her item. The supervisor, ******, that I spoke to said it was Lost in Transit and thats why my MIL never got it. The email I just read said that it was out of stock, therefore it never shipped in the first place!! So, which is it, Amazon?? Out of stock or lost in transit?? You cant have it both ways!! This is a classic case of deceptive business practices and they shouldnt be allowed to get away with it!!

      Sincerely,

The product in question is a hair care item from our company, BINGO HAIR CARE ASIN B01CTNRVFM.We believe that this review should be removed from our Amazon page because it violates Amazon's community guidelines.

Instead, it is a baseless and unfair attack on our company's reputation.We take pride in the quality of our products and the high level of customer service that we provide. We work hard to ensure that our customers are satisfied with their purchases and that any issues are resolved quickly and fairly. Unfortunately, in this case, the review left by *********************** provides no indication of what issue he experienced or why they feel that his money was wasted.We believe that it is important for reviews to be helpful and informative for other customers, and for reviewers to provide specific details about their experience with the product. This helps other customers to make informed decisions about whether to purchase the product, and it also helps us to identify and address any issues that *** arise.Therefore, we respectfully request that you investigate this matter and remove the review from our Amazon page.
