************************* was deactivated in error. I contacted a patent lawyer to receive the patent research to understand how my *************** violates utility patent no. **********. I received an official opinion from a patent lawyer that my *************** does not infringe the patent no. **********. I attached the patent research from the patent attorney. Please, review it.Also, to prove the authenticity of my items on ***************, I contacted my supplier to receive an invoice that complies with Amazon's requirements. I attached it to my appeal. Please review it.The applicant for patent no. ********** is Blue Gentian, LLC. Inventor for patent no. ********** is ********************************. But the "rights owner communication" in the notification about ASIN deactivation contains the following information about the first and last name: Pocket Hose. The specified contact information contradicts that provided in patent no. **********. Such actions undermine the correct and legitimate process for filing and challenging reports. In this case, the complainant acts as a liar, as he or she pretends to be another person without a power of attorney. This fact already indicates the absence of a truthful complaint process.Also, differences indicated in the patent research are significant and such that they challenge the invention covered by patent no. **********. Based on the preceding, I request that my appeal, invoice, and patent research provided by a patent lawyer be examined in detail. After that, I request you reactivate ASIN B0BT497KST as soon as possible. Otherwise, I will be forced to apply to the Arbitration Court under the ******************** to resolve this dispute.

Greetings, My seller account on Amazon.com was deactivated without any clear argument. I received a notification about the deactivation of my account for violating the **** Creation Policy. But what specifically served as the deactivation of my account, Amazon did not indicate. I contacted Amazon Support through phone and appeals to find out why my account was deactivated. As I was informed, my account was deactivated due to creation of incorrect variation. It was a variation of **** B0BP2LPL5J and B08CRR949V. This action directly violates **** Creation Policy, namely Creation Variation Policy. I accepted this violation and prepared a Plan of Action to prove that my account and business now comply with Amazon Policies. However, Amazon Support rejected my Plan of Action with supporting documentation and did not indicate the reason why my account was deactivated and why my Plan of Action was rejected. After that, I contacted Amazon Support again to find out the reason for the rejection, but the correct reason was not given to me. Based on the preceding, I request Amazon Support to review my account in detail, review my Plan of Action with supporting documentation, and reactivate my account, since I have met all the requirements for reinstating my account. My business and seller account are now in compliance with Amazon Policies, so further hold of my account violates Amazon Services Business Solutions Agreement on Amazon's part. Suppose Amazon Support rejects my Plan of Action. In that case, I will request the correct reason to further hold my account deactivated in detail and exercise my right to a qualified appeal process, guaranteed by Amazon Services Business Solutions Agreement. I sincerely hope for an understanding and detailed review of my Plan of Action, and the reinstatement of my account. I really appreciate any help you can provide.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: I received the notification from Amazon. They are able to reinstate my account but don't have enough information, namely more information about the root cause and corrective/preventive measures. After receiving this notification, I contacted Amazon Support to clarify the information. Therefore, I want to provide Amazon Support with all the necessary information and supporting documents. To this response, I attached the following:
-- My updated Plan of Action;
-- Training Sheets;
-- Employment Agreement.
I want to describe in more detail the root cause of my violation of the **** Creation Policy, which led to the deactivation of my account. One of my ambitious listing managers decided to increase sales for the item he was responsible for. He changed **** B0BP2LPL5J fundamentally so that **** B0BP2LPL5J was identical to **** **** B08CRR949V. Although, initially, **** B0BP2LPL5J had a different purpose. After fundamentally changing **** B0BP2LPL5J, he merged it with **** B08CRR949V, thereby raising the rating of **** B08CRR949V. He was convinced that such actions were within the scope of Amazon's Policies. Obviously, he needed to be more informed about **** Creation Policy. I am aware that this is a terrible violation of Amazon Policies. It is strictly prohibited.
This problem arose because I did not pay enough attention to training my team in the **** Creation Policy. I understand that it is only my fault I did not control the variation creation process and needed to properly train my staff in the **** Creation Policy section about Variation Policy. I taught my team the basic nuances, but I needed more training material for my business to comply with **** Creation Policy, namely Variation Policy. ****s and variations created on Amazon require technical experience, which some employees of my team lacked. I needed to have more control over my team's work, devote more time to training, and restrict free access to all the functions of my seller account. I am very sorry that it happened because I could mislead my customers by listing products that were incompatible with each other. I understand that the entire responsibility for this violation lies solely with me as the business owner.
I request Amazon Support to look into my updated Plan of Action in more detail, namely the root cause and additional corrective and preventive measures I have taken to correct my violation and prevent similar violations.
I sincerely hope for high-quality cooperation with Amazon Support and the speedy recovery of my account. Thank you so much for your attention and participation.
Sincerely,

Amazon my packages have not been delivered to me directly to my front door.I was told a driver may contact me via text or phone call which has NEVER happened.Using third parties to deliver packages such as **** and *** when it's know that the packages carried keys to apartment. Further, packages were given to a Resident by **** but it was not me. Then after that a alledgely signing by Receptionist but this is not possible as well because the reception is not opened. No one signed the package was left outside the door around the front of my building. The first delivery Allegedly was buried in the snow by neighbor. Now I am trying to return items and I am given a hard time. I have paid **** to *** to pickup package by noon which changes to before 3pm then it's after 6pm and the driver takes the package and then leaves it by the door. Then my days are trying to get approximately 100 dollars worth of product back to Amazon but it's not happening. Please assist. I am told by internet Amazon just credits you, but not me. Like it would be too much hassle to return we will just refund you the money. But not me, and especially since it's Amazons fault. And I am not secure in my own place after hundreds of dollars spent. Please help. I had to cancel the last **** door combo lock because Amazon is getting worse. Not better. Changed to Wednesday after I explained that Thursday is what I required.Business Response

So, use that. Further afterward someone signed for the package ?? and I need for Amazon to request an investigation into what happened.
Then I discovered I actually did not receive a refund for the things I returned. 90 dollars worth of things.
Finally, I just did another purchase and I picked out the delivery date and Amazon changed this. I am a stay at home person. There should be no reason why Amazon has not knocked on my door ?? with the all the items delivered every package has been anywhere and everywhere but delivered directly to me. I requested that Amazon directly delivers a combination door handle lock to me directly from an Amazon Driver because it is to my place! Then, I am suffering I am being stalked. I informed Amazon to "never" deliver on Wednesday and they keep doing this. Understand I have spent almost 3 hundred dollars and still have not a lock delivered to me. Last door lock order I had to cancel because Amazon was again having this all over the place. So, also it costs me everytime I make an order a fee not included in the price I quoted. I am disabled and on limited income. please help me sos ?? I am begging. I need the lock **** lock sent directly from Amazon. I tried so many times. Over 3.
?? Please.Initial Complaint

Amazon single handedly hold my account and confiscated my gift card balances without one valid reason or any PROOF while I gave them all info they want.On my first upload attempt, I uploaded both Billing statement and receipt. Soon, I received email saying that more info is required, and suggest me to also upload/show receipt IF* in my case I use a physical gift card, in the way that appears they didn't see the receipt and doesn't know I use physical card.On my second attempt I upload both Billing statement and receipt again. Received email telling me info is not enough.On my third attempt, I am asked for my passport or other ID, I uploaded my passport with my gift card and receipt and billing statement all at once. I received an email telling me that my account is still on hold and that the gift card I use is agaisnt their Terms and Conditions, which I believe is another lie. My mom made purchases from the same source of physical gift card and have no issue.Conclusion 1. Amazon refuse to make clear what info they want from me, or what I provide is unclear to help solve my case. They use a no-reply form of email for the matter of account issue.2. I felt getting a brush off from Amazon when following their instructions; I have all billing statement, credit card, and gift card + receipt which appears to not have a problem from my consumer point of view, why do you ask me for my receipt and then my ID if the gift card is bad because it's against terms of conditions at the first place? After the fact that I can provide every info.3. I have no access to my order history to check if my partial payment from creditcard is charged on my canceled orders and no access to customer support for further talk.4. I read from reddit this issue cannot be fix from many others experience, and felt being fooled. Why am I being a victim for Amazon couldn't well manage the gift card they sold with no proof nor a valid reason.Business Response

On 12/16/22, my daughter purchased a $32.58 item as a Christmas gift for me through Amazon.com. The order # was 113-2999301-4005059. As the item was not suitable for my needs, I used the enclosed gift receipt to initiate a packing label to return the gift. The gift receipt stated that the credit would be issued to the me and that my daughter would not be made aware that the gift had been returned. On 1/25/23, I packed up and dropped off the return package to **** Per *** tracking, the gift was received by Amazon.com warehouse on 1/26/23.By 1/31/23, no credit had posted to my account, so I called Amazon customer service and was told it should be posted within 7 days. By 2/7/23, no credit had posted, so I called again and was told to wait another week. By 2/16/23, no credit, so I called again and was told that I would see the credit within 2 hours. By 2/17/23, the credit still had not appeared. I called back and explained everything to a supervisor named ********, who told me that the credit was issued in error to my daughter's account. This was embarrassing to me as now my daughter would be aware that I had not kept her gift. ******** told me that the $32.58 credit would be removed from my daughter's account and credited to mine within **** hours. By 2/20/23, no credit. I had a long conversation with yet another supervisor, ********. She told me to wait another 5 business days - that the error was reported and there was no immediate solution. Needless to say I was angry and frustrated at the lack of her ability or willingness to properly credit me the $32.58 in a timely manner. As of this writing, I still have no $32.58 credit.Business Response

In December I placed a order for 3 apple watches on Amazon.com (order #***-4427553-5241802). The payment with my credit card failed and Amazon charged a ******** credit card I've used on amazon.ca. I never game them permission to use a different credit card. I never associated that card with amazon.com, I've only used it on amazon.ca Dealing with Amazon customer service was a absolute nightmare. I was disconnected multiple times. Some of the reps were callous and rude. The reps don't seem to place notes on the account, I had to explain the issue over and over again to different reps.One rep agreed to open a return without a restocking fee. She also sent me a email mentioning the return wouldn't have a restocking fee.Amazon refused to honor the verbal and written agreement from ******* and charged me a 20% restocking fee.Business Response

Purchased an item from Amazon as a gift for a vacation... Upon tracking the item it was never delivered contacted Amazon and was advised that they're not responsible for you not receiving an item you order the responsibility falls on the delivery company and you have to fight it with the delivery company they will not do it for you nor will they issue or refund or reship your order So basically charging you for something you don't receive they get their money you get nothing...

All of the communication was over the phone and it was never said to me that my devices would be confiscated!
Sincerely,

Initially, I was seeking compensation for the unsatisfactory delivery of my C-Hopetree 70 lb Heavy Duty Water Fillable Base Stand for Patio Outdoor Table Umbrella, Black within Order ending in **** as I'd just had the craziest experience ever. My order arrived 2 days late and I waited for the Amazon Personal Car Driver to leave so I could get my package. However, this time was different (it's all on my Ring by the way). The driver delivery amazon vest worker rang my doorbell and held my package like a pizza box. I reluctantly opened the door, as this never happened before and I barely heard a "Hello" from this human being and motioned to provide me the package. In the middle of doing so, I noticed a 5 x 3 inch wide hole in the box. I then looked up at the Amazon worker, speechless.He simply turned around and went back to his car, like nothing had happened. I then spent the next 2 hours of life energy spilling my guts to Amazon ****************** who advised the only way I can get compensation for this experience is if I returned the item after I had just waited an extra two days for it to be delivered. Which then begs the question why do I pay for Prime?What made me even more confused was when I asked for compensation being an equivalent to $30. The Account Specialist named *********************** up on me, after not allowing me to speak for several minutes just shoving the fact there was only one option into my ear. I then called back, after being hung up on, and talked to a nicer person who then just so happens to transfer me to the exact same representative named *******. She had the audacity, without me even saying anything, to repeat the singular option once more and I advised she needs to work on her professionalism.Lastly, I talked to **** and another Supervisor who strictly said no, even though a CSR laughed at me 2 months ago and I recieved compensation. Please provide me the just compensation as I will not return it, the item inside is okay for the most part.Business Response
