Company: Amazon.com Complaint Type: Problem with a Product or Service Summary of Issue:We, ***************** (Amazon Merchant Token: A19X40LBBZ0C2P), are filing this complaint due to Amazon's refusal to allow us to formally close our deactivated seller account, despite our full acceptance of responsibility for the original issue. The account was deactivated in 2023 following an inauthentic product issue involving **** B09LVXDTJQ. The violation was caused by a virtual assistant (VA) who submitted a false invoice without our knowledge. We do not contest the deactivation and have accepted full responsibility.Our request is not for reinstatement. We are simply asking for temporary access to formally close the account in good standing. We have provided Amazon with extensive documentation, including:A full written admission of responsibility A detailed timeline and proof of how the VA was hired and paid Sourcing messages and evidence of the VAs disappearance Articles of Organization and team member identification A formal pledge not to relist the **** or resume selling A clear statement that we do not seek reinstatement, only closure Despite escalations over the past year including to Seller Performance, Executive Seller Relations, and even to Amazon leadership (CEO **** *****, SVP ******** *****) weve only received scripted responses stating its not our team. Amazons system requires account reactivation to close it, but no team is empowered to allow that. This procedural loop leaves us unable to responsibly exit the platform.Desired Resolution:Grant temporary access to the account solely to complete formal closure Provide written confirmation that the account is closed in good standing with no unresolved flags on our LLC or personal identities We are not requesting selling privileges or compensation only the opportunity to exit Amazon with integrity.Complainant Contact:**** *******, ***************** ********************************* | ************

Complaint: 23663921

I am rejecting this response because:
As it is identical to the scripted replies we have already received for over a year and does not address the issue raised in our complaint.
To reiterate: we are not seeking reinstatement, reimbursement, or any privilege. Our account was deactivated due to an inauthentic product issue stemming from a sourcing error by a virtual assistant. We have taken full responsibility and have provided all relevant documentation. We are not disputing Amazons right to deactivate the account.
What we are seeking is simple and reasonable:

1:-Temporary access to the deactivated seller account - not to sell, but to formally close it in good standing.
2:-Written confirmation that the account has been closed responsibly, with no unresolved flags tied to our business entity or individual team members.
Amazons response continues to dodge this issue and falls back on irrelevant boilerplate. No team at Amazon appears willing or authorized to address the procedural gap: that a deactivated account cannot be closed unless first reinstated, yet no team is authorized to grant temporary access for the purpose of closure alone.
This has left us trapped in a loop with no resolution and no way to responsibly sever ties with Amazon. We are not seeking any financial benefit, only the ability to close the account with integrity and prevent future confusion tied to our LLC.
We again ask the BBB to hold Amazon accountable for resolving this procedural flaw. Our request is specific, measured, and in the spirit of responsible business conduct.

Sincerely,
Atif ***** *******

Greetings from Amazon.com,
I understand that the Selling Partner is not seeking for reinstatement of their account and is looking to close the account.
Please note, account closure can only be processed once the account is reinstated.

For the same, Selling Partner needs to work on reinstating the account post which next steps can be taken for account closure.

ESCALATION TO BBB Complaint Title: Amazon Seller Account *************************** Support - Case IDs ************************* Nature of Complaint:My Amazon Seller Central account (associated with Case IDs: *********** and ***********) was unjustly deactivated on June 27, 2025, immediately after I reactivated it from a legitimate 30-day vacation mode. Amazon's stated reason is "inactivity" or "outstanding document requests."Despite my exhaustive efforts over the past 27 days, including more than 40 email exchanges and numerous phone calls with Amazon Seller Support, my account remains inactive. I have repeatedly submitted all requested documents (including driving license and bank details) over 20 times, yet Amazon continues to send generic, copy-paste responses claiming "verification could not be completed" and directing me back to "Performance Notifications" which show no clear path forward or specific deficiencies. Promises of escalation by support agents have been unfulfilled.This prolonged and unresolved deactivation has caused significant financial harm to my business. As of July 20, 2025, I have incurred an estimated loss of $4,600 in sales, with ongoing losses of approximately $200 per day. This situation represents a severe operational failure and a lack of accountability from Amazon Seller Central.Desired Resolution:1. Immediate and full reactivation of my Amazon Seller Central account.2. Full compensation for all documented lost sales, times and nerves, estimated at $4,600+ from June 27, 2025, until the account is fully operational.3. A formal investigation into why my submitted documents are repeatedly ignored and why Amazon Seller Support provides only unhelpful, templated responses. I request a transparent explanation and resolution to the underlying systemic issue.

Complaint: ********

I am in receipt of Amazon's pathetic one-line response, which states my account has been "reinstated." This is not a resolution; it is an insult - and we are not surprised. This is why CRAPPAZON is such
I am formally rejecting this response and will not under any circumstances consider this complaint closed.
Amazon's response is an absolute joke.
It completely ignores the serious issues detailed in my July 24, 2025 escalation email, which I attached to this complaint and will happily attach again since it's clear no one at Amazon bothered to read it.
Let me spell it out again, since Amazon's resolution "specialist" clearly CANNOT comprehend what a real resolution entails:

NO COMPENSATION FOR LOST SALES: My business was held hostage for 27+ days, costing me an estimated $4,600+ in lost sales. Reinstating the account now does not magically put that money back in my pocket.
I demanded immediate and full compensation for my immense losses and Amazon's response provides zero. Such a shameful scamming company

NO INVESTIGATION. NO ACCOUNTABILITY:
I demanded a formal, transparent investigation into why my documents were repeatedly ignored. I asked for a tracking ID and a real explanation. Amazon's email provides neither. There is no root cause, no explanation, and no accountability for the "incompetent clowns" and pathetic "support" agents who created this months-long nightmare.
This is not a resolution; it is a blatant cover-up.

COPY-PASTED GARBAGE CONTINUES: After being forced through over 40 useless email exchanges and countless calls that delivered "the same brain-dead, copy-pasted drivel" , Amazon's official response to the BBB is another piece of automated garbage. This proves they are either deliberately ignoring me or their head is heavily broken

This is a scam, and I am not backing down.
This case will not be closed until Amazon initiates compensation for my lost income and provides a full, transparent explanation for what happened. My original demands stand and since the lady who is answering is deflecting, denying and ignoring my email I am attaching it back to her face

No regards whatsoveer

I contacted Amazon about an order of Tiki Baby Cat food as although they did a good job packaging the items, once opened, I noticed that the cat food items purchased where spoiled. The texture, color, and scent was off. My cat who usually loves this food would not go near it. I called customer service and was told due to safety issues the food was not able to be returned and to just discard it but I was given a link while speaking to an agent and was told to send pictures which I did. The agent then issued a refund for $48.14 for the spoiled food. (I went to my local ***** after the refund and purchased his food which actually had the same batch number as it was the latest and that cat ate it which confirmed for me that it was the food Amazon send not the brand or batch. )Hours later, after the refund from ******, I get a random email saying my account is now in refund violation for the order ending in 028 (the cat food order) and my account is now restricted to digital purchases and the refund has been canceled. I spoke to multiple agents who said I could only reply to an Amazon Specialist about the subject via email (which was a no-reply email). I finally got it to go through after appealing multi times and I was told the shipping came intact so a refund will not be processed and the violation stands. I called Amazon again and spoke to an agent and explained to them the situation, I told them that I received spoiled cat food and was given a refund of $48.14 and that my account was then put until refund violation and my refund was canceled. Also that I had my account for 6 years and have only had 2 returns during that entire time. I told them I read the rules and there was no violation that occurred and asked if perhaps it was a system flag as this was the most expensive order on my account so a refund can be considered out of the norm which the agent said it could be possible but to explain all what I mentioned to the same email again. The the decision stood.

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 07/29/2025.

I ordered an item from Amazon that arrived defective. I contacted customer service, and a representative clearly told me that my refund was successfully processed: $36.04 to my Amazon gift card balance. I was told the refund would appear within 3 hours.However, the next day I received no refund, and another representative told me I needed to provide ID and return the item completely contradicting what I was told earlier. I asked for a small courtesy credit due to the misinformation and lost time, and the agent abruptly closed the chat on me without any resolution.I still havent received the refund, and the way I was treated was unprofessional and unacceptable. I have saved screenshots of the original chat where the refund was promised. I would like Amazon to:1. Issue the promised refund of $36.04.2. Provide a courtesy credit for the inconvenience and poor handling.This has shaken my trust in Amazon customer service, and Im requesting this be reviewed by Amazons Executive Relations team.

While I understand the ** verification step, this does not resolve the core issue: a representative explicitly told me my refund was already processed and would be received within 3 hours. I was not informed about any ** requirement at that time. I acted on this false information in good faith.
In addition, when I later asked for a courtesy credit for the time lost and mishandling, the agent abruptly closed the chat on me, which was highly unprofessional.
I will comply with the ** upload request, but I do not accept this response as a full resolution. I am requesting:
1. The promised $36.04 refund to be completed after ** submission, as previously stated.
2. A courtesy credit for the mishandled service and misleading communication.
I ask that the complaint remain open until Amazon completes both items above.

Subject: Request for Secure ID Submission Link and Full Refund
Dear ******* and Amazon Customer Service,
Thank you for your response via the BBB platform.
To move forward, please provide me with a secure and official link where I can submit my ID proof directly to Amazon for verification. I will promptly provide the requested documentation through that link.
However, I want to be clear: upon submitting my ID as requested, I expect a full refund for the item as was originally promised by your representative. The $10 gift card compensation offered is insufficient and does not resolve this issue.
Please confirm when I can expect to receive the secure submission link and the full refund following verification.

Hello Tayshaun,

Thank you for writing back.

On checking, I see the portal expired and can no longer be used. Hence, I request you to reach out to customer support team so they can provide new link through which you can submit the proof. Here's a link to our Contact Us page:

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

Once submitted, it can take up to 3 business days for us to finish our investigation. At this time, you can contact back and we will share the status of the investigation with you and any next steps that we might need to take.

I understand $10 gift card compensation offered is insufficient, however, we're unable to offer additional compensation beyond what has been provided.

Ive reviewed this matter in its entirety, and it's not one we're able to accommodate when applied fairly to all of our customers. Because of this, we must sometimes make a decision to stand behind a policy knowing it will be disappointing to one, but acknowledging that it's truly in the best interest of all of our customers.

We strive to make shopping and delivery delightful for Amazon customers, and I appreciate that you took the time to contact us.

Thank you for your understanding.

Upon further review, I see that seller has refunded $500.00 for shipping fee on July 30, 2025 to your payment mode.

In most cases, once a refund has been submitted, the issuing bank will post it to your account within 3-5 business days. This time frame may vary from one financial institution to another.

You can view details of the completed refund on your Amazon.com account:

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

Also the following message was sent to you by Wolfequip industrial:

Thank you for your appreciation and cooperation. Even though we have not seen yet your rating for us, the refund of the shipping fee has been issued. Please pay attention to your account changes. The parts will be sent out this week, we will let you know the tracking information as soon as we have.

On July 16, 2025, I ordered a **** E PZ *****mm F3.5-5.6 OSS II lens through Amazon (Order #***-0770198-7168268), fulfilled by ****************** Upon delivery, I noticed the lens did not match the product image or description. I immediately documented the discrepancy with photos and reached out to Amazon to report the issue. **************** assured me they would notify the seller on my behalf and ensure a full refund upon return. Proof attached. I then returned the item I received the very next day.Despite acting transparently and in good faith, I was issued only a $1 refund from the seller and received a warning from Amazon accusing me of returning a "materially different" item. I appealed this claim but did not hear back from Amazon. In addition, I was charged a restocking fee in the amount of $343.19, which is the entire order. This practice appears both unethical and legally questionable. If the seller truly believed I returned a different item than what they had shipped, they should not have kept it. They should have sent it back to me, possibly charging me a minimal amount for the shipment, and kindly request me to return the correct item. However, this could not have been the case as there is no correct item in my possession. ****************** has since blocked me from contacting them. Ive never, to my knowledge, returned anything I did not receive from Amazon. I only initiate returns for items that are defective, misrepresented, or have missing parts. I take care to return items promptly. This situation is unjust and suggests either a serious error or a deliberate attempt to deny me a rightful refund.Additionally, I would have avoided purchasing this lens had I realized it was being shipped directly by a third-party seller. Ive had recurring issues with non-Amazon sellers delivering incorrect or subpar products.Resolution Requested:A full refund for the original order Removal of the unjust warning on my Amazon account Sincerely,******

Complaint: 23638946

I am rejecting this response because:
First of all, I had repeatedly contacted Amazon **************** to prove that the item I initially received was a WRONG item and that I was going to return it. Amazon **************** had CONFIRMED it was okay to return this item and I was going to be refunded. I provided screenshots from our conversation, and I am attaching them again. Amazon even contacted the seller on my behalf to confirm, and the seller approved the return. I also shared photos of the item returned, and I am attaching them here again.
Second, the seller (*****************) is acting in bad faith. They claim that they only refunded $1 and processed the rest (over $330) as a so-called "restocking fee" is in alignment with Amazon policy. It is not because while it is okay to apply a restocking fee, it is not ethical to apply an arbitrary amount, and definitely not 99% of the entire charge when I had proven the return was APPROVED BEFOREHAND.
Finally, even if they somehow justify this 99% restocking fee, this does not explain why the return that had been approved by Amazon (who had contacted the seller about it BEFORE I shipped) was not refunded. The seller is claiming that the item they shipped "does not have the serial number that originated in their warehouse". I do not see how this mistake is my problem. I repeat, I returned what they shipped me. Finally, the seller also seems to have disabled me from sending them messages directly, and I had to go through roundabouts via **************** to contact them. They are denying it.
Please provide my refund.

PLEASE REDIRECT THIS TO A SUPERVISOR WHO UNDERSTANDS THE ISSUE (and English)
First of all, I had repeatedly contacted Amazon **************** to prove that the item I initially received was a WRONG item and that I was going to return it. Amazon **************** had CONFIRMED it was okay to return this item and I was going to be refunded. I provided screenshots from our conversation already. Amazon even contacted the seller on my behalf to confirm, and the seller approved the return. I also shared photos of the item returned earlier as well as

in this complaint.
Second, the seller (****************.) is acting in bad faith. They claim that they only refunded $1 and processed the rest (over $330) as a so-called "restocking fee" is in alignment with Amazon policy. It is not because while it is okay to apply a restocking fee, it is not ethical to apply an arbitrary amount, and definitely not 99% of the entire charge when I had proven the return was APPROVED BEFOREHAND.
Finally, even if they somehow justify this 99% restocking fee, this does not explain why the return that had been approved by Amazon (who had contacted the seller about it BEFORE I shipped) was not refunded. The seller is claiming that the item they shipped "does not have the serial number that originated in their warehouse". I do not see how this mistake is my problem. I repeat, I returned what they shipped me. Finally, the seller also seems to have disabled me from sending them messages directly, and I had to go through roundabouts via **************** to contact them. They are denying it.
Please provide my refund.

On July 14, 2025 I purchased from Amazon.com a 5 foot ******************** for a total cost of $82.75. I had the option to pay for it with my personal checking account or choose another approved method of payment. I chose **********; a ***************************** firm which Amazon.com offers and who I also have an account with. Unbeknownst to me, Amazon.com circumvented my decision and charged my personal checking account without my authorization and doing so caused an overdraft of my checking account and an overdraft fee of $30.00 for a total cost of $112.75 and also caused overdrafts of other pending debits waiting to be processed by my bank which the money was there and allotted for. I called Amazon.com several times on July 22, 2025 to try and work things out but met with resistance and my calls being ended without any resolution.

Hello **** *****,

I am ******* 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've checked your issue regarding the charges on your personal checking account for order ending with 8647.

Upon checking the details of the order, I see that there was no backup payment used on this order and the initial payment method was charged which was selected during checkout and the system didn't change the payment method which was input from your end.

However, as an exception, we can issue a refund for the $30 in the form of gift card, please let us know if we can issue that refund in the form of gift card to your account.

We appreciate your patience and look forward to seeing you again soon.

Hello,

I am Vishal 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've reviewed your email and I apologize for the inconvenience caused to you.

Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention regarding the Xbox Game Pass Ultimate digital codes purchased from Woot! (Order Numbers #******** and #********).

I'm pleased to inform you that the Woot! team has thoroughly reviewed your case and has confirmed that full refunds have been processed for both orders.

The refund amounts should be credited back to your original payment method within 3-5 business days, depending on your financial institution's processing times.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by these defective digital codes.

We understand how frustrating it is to purchase digital products that cannot be redeemed, especially when encountering region compatibility issues as you experienced with the message "This code can't be redeemed. It was purchased in a different region from your account.".

If you have any questions about the refund or if there's anything else we can assist you with, please don't hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your patience throughout this resolution process.

I placed an order on Amazon (Order #***-9023187-9773060) using a valid Amazon gift card balance. Amazon canceled the order and voided the gift card balance without refunding it.I have followed every step Amazon requested, including providing:Gift card purchase receipts Email confirmation showing the gift card was sent to me Written authorization for gift card usage Despite this, Amazon has failed to refund my balance for over a week. Amazon has also given me multiple false promises:July 13, 2025: Email from Amazon stating refund would reflect in less than 3 days.July 14, 2025: I called multiple times and spoke to a supervisor who confirmed the refund was processing.July 16, 2025: Amazon emailed stating the investigation team would respond within 2448 hours. It is now July 21, 2025, and I have received nothing.Amazon has ignored its own timelines and provided conflicting information, leaving my funds withheld without resolution.What I want: Immediate restoration of the full gift card balance that was removed from my account and written confirmation that the issue has been resolved.
