      Hello,I am filing a complaint against Amazon, because my Buyer Account was erroneously suspended.Amazon suspended my account on suspicion of fraudulent activity. However, this suspicion is false. I did not engage in any sort of fraud. I simply shopped for my household. I did not do excessive returns and did not use my buyer account in violation of Amazons policies. Furthermore, my account was not hacked at any point. I authorized each and every transaction. My account was closed in error. Yet, despite all the evidence submitted, Amazon has still not reinstated my buyer account. Amazon should kindly reactivate my account, as this is clearly an error. Thank you,*************************

      Hello,
      Amazon reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, terminate customer rights to use *******************************************, remove or edit content, or cancel orders at its sole discretion.
      We removed this customers access to their buyer account on our site. We took this action because an investigation of their account indicated that the customers buyer account violated our terms and conditions.
      Due to the proprietary nature of our business, we do not provide details on our investigation methods.
      We notified the customer of this decision by email on 03/21/2023.

      Around March 9, 2023 I noticed my Amazon account had a weird email in the login tab. I immediately logged out and tried to login again with my email and phone number. It says that there is not an Amazon account associated with this email or phone number. I call Amazon and explain my situation and it appears someone got into my account and changed the email, phone number, and address to begin fraudulent charges. I immediately canceled my card and started watching my checking account for fraudulent charges. Since the first time I have contacted Amazon I have since called 6 times and every time I have to explain this situation again and they say someone will contact me within 24 hours to restore my account. Each call the representative tells me they are making notes on my account and these notes are never seen by the next rep I call. I have had a charge made thru my venmo account that was associated with my checking account and was able to stop payment on it with my bank. The package was sent to me and I have tried to return it to amazon and they keep saying they can't get into my account to create a shipping label for the return.Basically I would like my account with amazon restored and to be able to return the package that was made fraudulently on my account.

      On 1/22/23 I purchased a part for my outdoor boiler which heats my home. Order #***-8696311-6421834 . A Taco circulating pump. After a couple months the pump started making a grinding noise so I contacted Amazon for a replacement. Was told the pump came from a third party vendor and they would contact them for me. The third party vendor told me they only distribute the item and only warranty for 30 days and they do not exchange or refund for said product. There was no option to exchange through Amazon web sight. After numerous contacts with Amazon I was finally told I would receive a gift card on my account for the amount of $277.67. Received a code for returning pump and dropped it off at *** store in ********, ********. Amazon ****** they have no record of sending the code or receiving the pump for return. They are refusing to refund my money as agreed upon . A gift card on my account as the original credit card used to purchase has been closed.

      Hello,

      In order to receive refund, we require return tracking details which proves item was returned to seller. Since there is no evidence that the seller received the return, we have closed customer's claim. 

      The seller has not received the return, and the information customer has provided does not prove that the package was delivered to the seller. If customer need to return an item in the future, we recommend following best practices to be sure that the seller receives the package:

      -- Include the order number on or inside the package.
      -- Insure the package.
      -- Use a signature confirmation delivery service.

      Complaint: 19892757

      I am rejecting this response because: Amazon was informed that the seller is a third party and does not accept returns or give refunds. Because of this Amazon told me THEY would be refunding me the amount of $277.67 onto a account gift card in that amount. Info they are requesting I do not have any more. Received a square code to take to *** to drop off. This was done. When I was told over the phone that I would be receiving a refund the information was deleted from my system figuring I could trust Amazon at their word that I would be compensated.

      I bought the following server in February for $1,399 **************************************************************************************************** Less than a month later in March, the price had been cut in half.I contacted the seller for clarifincation and was told in writing that Amazon had made a mistake. The seller proceeded to change the price to $1,499 (a $100 more than what I bought it for).I contacted Amazon and was informed that it was a "promotion" of some sort and that they did indeed change the price of the seller's product. The customer service rep offered in writing to allow me to buy another server for $1,099 and could not provide the discount that the seller acknowledged in writing was the price (half the price) and that the same customer service rep acknowledged was set by Amazon to half the price. No Phone calls, please

      I purchased a printer from amazon.com on April 1, 2023 for $211.99 and it was delivered on April 3 2023. The box was huge, and upon looking in the box and carefully removing the Styrofoam I noticed that it was way bigger than what was shown in the pictures in Amazon the next morning, I started to return online and noticed that, instead of the usual message that I received about returns that I would receive credit to my credit card within seven days of receipt of the item; I received a message that they would have within 30 days of receipt of the item, and then another seven days to credit the amount to my credit card. I have ordered many many items from Amazon and have never received this message. I phoned Amazon come customer service and they stated that this was normal, and that this is the normal return policy for all of their items. However, I also ordered a **** of paper along with the printer and returned that as well, and did not receive the message that it would take up to 30 days to return the item and then another seven days to credit my credit card. Nowhere on the Amazon site does it state that will take up to 30 days to process a return. I would have never ordered my printer from Amazon. If I would have known this, I couldve bought a printer from Office *************** target, or any other store that I could have returned it and have immediately gotten a return to my credit card Amazon has multiple warehouses and I have had issues in the past with them not crediting my credit card because they have had an item. Get stuck in an interim warehouse. This issue has got to stop .

      Complaint: 19892678

      I am rejecting this response because:
      The amount of time for the return process should have been clearly advertised on the website of the item. It is a huge site and they couldve put it anywhere. I wouldve never bought this printer if I had known that it would take up to 37 days which includes the processing time to put it on my credit card.  I couldve bought a printer at ******* and had my returns would be processed in one day.  If they wouldve come back to me and said it would take two weeks I wouldve been happy with that. I can send a package to Europe in less time.  They are just taking their sweet time to return and process it because they already have my money.  Its funny that they can get my printer to me in two days, but it takes up to 37 days to credit it to my account.

      On 3/22/23, you billed me $10.44 for purporting my not returning "Chbuuero Taco Holders Set of 4." However your own carrier's tracking shows that I did return them and that you are in fact in possession of the returned holders. Please immediately refund the 3/2/23 $10.44 charge to my card, provide a generous courtesy credit for this fraudulent conduct, and refund my Amazon Prime charge for this month due to this service failure.

I need to contact the ** team directly to solve this problem, but you can file any complaint in a case only if you have at least one already enrolled brand in **. The brand (serial number ********* I am trying to enroll into my account belongs to me; I am the sole owner of it. I provide the Filing Receipt for Trademark below. The link to my brand on the official ***** website - ********************************************************************************************************************: DUNA is registered personally to me. The Duna Store account also belongs to me - ***********************. My seller account is registered to a company APOLKOR-M LLC which also belongs to me. This is confirmed by the Articles of Organization, which I am applying for in the attachments.The brand was removed from my Duna Store seller account for unknown reasons. I am still waiting to receive an additional notification about this. When I try to return the brand to my account and enroll it again, the Amazon system provides an error. Error text: "Trademark number is already enrolled in Brand Registry. If you'd like to be affiliated with this brand, use this form to share contact information with the Rights Owner". I am trying to understand how I had to request permission to add my brand to my account from someone else. An apparent technical error has occurred. Below I will send, in addition to my words, all the screenshots from my account showing an enrolling error. I also sent the Duna Filing Receipt for the Trademark and a copy of my passport.

      Greetings from Amazon.com Executive ***************

      My name is *****. I am a member of the Amazon.com Executive *************** Team, and will serve as your point of contact as we work through resolution of your case.

       

      Upon research, we can confirm that what the selling partner mentions is indeed correct, we can see that they were part of the brand DUNA, and they were removed by another member within the brand.

       

      As this is under the brand registry scope, but they do not have a registered brand on their end, please ask the selling partner to reach regular seller support and ask them to review the following brand registry case : ***********

       

      Advise the seller to ask to have their case transferred to brand registry team and have the support member to check the internal notes I have left on the case. This note contains the research and next steps they need to follow in order to assist the selling partner.

       

      We recommend the selling partner to follow this process because the reference *********** was closed 4 days ago, and they might no longer can reopen it.

       

      The internal annotation should be sufficient for the concerned team to proceed as needed and assist the seller.

       

      Kind regards,

      Complaint: 19892631

      I am rejecting this response because:Amazon support violated my rights and did not provide an effective mechanism for solving my problem. As it was recommended to me in the Brand Registry Team message dated 4/5/2023 through the BBB system, I contacted regular seller support. I asked them to review the following brand registry case ID: ***********. For this purpose, I opened a new case - ID ***********, where I described my problem and attached the screen of ***************** Team's answer dated 4/5/2023. I received a response that the support cannot send this case to Brand Registry. They asked me to write to case *********** directly. This is some mockery; they just send me around in a circle and can't do anything. I also called Seller Support on 4/7/2023 in the hope that the support could help me in this way. But they dismissed me for the umpteenth time; I clearly explained my situation on the call that my brand disappeared due to a technical error, and I don't have access to it so that the support would be more precise. I offered to send a screenshot of the ** support response through the BBB system to the case log. ******, the lady from Seller Support, answered me that this was unnecessary and she did not see my seller ID in the brand registry system and could not help me. Every day I incur enormous losses for my business due to the lack of a brand in my ** and a technical mistake that occurred on Amazon. The support sends me from one support to another, and I need help solving my problem. However, I provided all the documents for my brand, passport, etc. Below I will send a screenshot of the response from support to case ***********. You can also listen to the conversation recording with support from 4/7/2023 as evidence of negligence and indifference to support regarding my problem. 04:30 a.m. - 04:45 a.m. ******* time zone. I request my Dune brand be returned to my **.

      Sincerely,
