      On the morning of 1/1/23, I received an e-mail from Amazon stating that one or more of my listings was deactivated and has now been reactivated. I have not sold on Amazon for close to 10 years, and never requested that any listing be reactivated. The e-mail provided a link to review current listings, but I could not access it since I do not have a selling account (I do have an Amazon account, but for the better part of 10 years, it has been used only for buying). I received similar e-mails within the last year or two, and was told at the time that action was taken to ensure the issue does not continue (so much for that!). I messaged Amazon through their customer support page on ******** and was sent a series of links, none of which worked. Some were like the one in the e-mail where I could not log in without a selling account. Others required a business name (I am an individual person and do not have a business name), others would only let me select from a few options that did not apply. One rep told me to select one of the password problem options and call the number provided. I selected the option, but was provided with no phone number. Finally, I decided to call Amazon through their main contact page on their site. I was connected with a man who did not seem to fully comprehend English. He did not tell me he was going to put me on hold, but did so anyway. Then, I heard a woman's voice. She did not seem to know I was transferred, and knew nothing of the details I had told the prior representative. I expressed frustration at being transferred without being told I was being transferred. She said she agreed that I should not have been transferred in that way, then she hung up on me. I need Amazon to assure me that the selling portion of my account is closed, and that they have not activated any items that I may have had for sale years ago. I also need Amazon to retrain their customer service reps - tell me when you will transfer me, and do not hang up on me!

      Thank you for confirming that my seller account remains closed.  However, you said nothing in regards to why I received this e-mail to begin with, despite being told previously that the issue was fixed.  You also did not address the poor service I received both through your ******* page and by phone.

      On December 23rd, I purchased a self-cleaning litterbox and bags from Amazon. My checking account was charged twice for the one order on December 27th. I contacted customer service via chat and was told one would be refunded the next day. I waited 3 days before initiating this complaint. The customer service agent had lied to most likely "get rid" of me on the chat as no refund has been issued. I am owed a refund of $466.51 as I only made one purchase, yet was double charged the amount.

      I'm Pratap 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 the complaint and understand your concern regarding the double charge for $466.51.

      I apologize for the inconvenience that you have experience in this case.

      Upon checking I see that the refund of $466.51 has been issued to your original payment method on Sunday, December 25, 2022. In most cases, once a refund has been submitted, the issuing bank will post it to the concerned account within 7-10 business days. This time frame may vary from one financial institution to another.

      Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated.

      On November 28, 2022 I purchased an item, ORDER # ***-5942338-8902656, as payment I partly used my Amazon credit card rewards of $6.10. I returned the item and the credit card rewards were never returned to me. I contacted Amazon and customer service stated the reward should be returned to the credit card. It never happen so customer service issued me a $10 credit. I used the credit on a purchase: Purina ONE Wet Cat Food Variety Pack (24) 3 oz. Cans ORDER # ***-6373832-2094666. The package came crushed the wet cat food was leaking out of the a box which was placed in another box. The food item was rotten and spilled all over the manufacturer's box, despite this, Amazon put the adulterated food item in another box and send it to the customer. I contacted ********************** customer service and requested a replacement and they said it was not possible but their would compensate me for the credit/rewards point and issued me an $18 on my gift card. I never received the $18 dollars on the gift card. 1. Amazon should not keep customers credit card money and should return the money to the customer as it belongs to the customer, it is simply theft.2. ********************** should not send obivous damaged food item, obvious, leaking, rotten, decayed through the box, placed into another box and sent to the customer, food is regulated under the *** obvious adulterated food should not be sent to customers as it can constitute a health risk.3. Amazon should take customer complaint seriously and not make a mockery out of customers.

      I pay for Amazon Prime. As of late, Amazon has been changing the shipping dates on my orders. The orders are shipped and sold by Amazon.com. In the last month it's been a constant issue. Orders I place have sat unshipped for as much as two weeks and the date of delivery kept changing. Today I placed an order for electrolytes. It said before I paid for the order that the 4 pkgs of Amazon basic care Electrolytes would be delivered by Wednesday, January 3, **************************** the next 15 hrs. Once I placed the order the date changed to Sunday, January 8, 2023. The item is shipped and sold by Amazon. I get a discount on prime membership because I have EBT. Are they shipping later to me because of this? I'm constantly having to contact Amazon about my orders now. This feels like a bait and switch with regards to the shipping dates. I used to be able to take screen shots of my order in the cart. Now it says screenshots aren't allowed in the app. Long story short ALL my Amazon Prime orders that are shipped and sold by Amazon are not being delivered by the date initially given as I check out. My correct address is there, so it's not that I changed my address which I understand could cause the date to change. So what am I paying for? It's supposed to be 2 day free shipping and the date changed after every one of my orders that are shipped and sold by Amazon.

      I purchased Supima Cotton Sheets from Amazon.com. They were over $100. They were fake. I called and tried to get more information on the product. I spoke to a supervisor but she couldn't give me anymore information than what was on the Website. She told me to call back the next Day. I was transferred to a Supervisor the next day and explained everything and she was crediting me and said she was giving me a 15 dollar promotional credit. That's what it sounded like. I was speaking to someone from another country so sometimes there's a language barrier. The supervisor said I don't have to return the item and she was crediting me the full amount. She said can I put you on hold while I finish the email I'm sending to you with all the information. Instead of putting me on hold she transferred me. Got another person she hung up on me or we were disconnected while transferring me to a supervisor. I called again got someone else. She transferred me to a supervisor and she put me on hold and never came back. I called again got someone else and asked for a supervisor. This one would not honor what the first supervisor was going to do for me. I'm a prime member and I purchased probably over 150 items this past year alone. I'm going to make a very large purchase within a week for almost $800. I talked to 8 people got so frustrated and the last supervisor I spoke to would not help me with what the first supervisor was going to honor me. I am so mad how I was treated. That first supervisor should have called me back and finished taking care of my issue. I want this resolved. I also uploaded a picture of the call so you can see that the one supervisor had me on hold for so long. I called back on another line to speak to everyone else Thank you.

      Refused refund from Amazon after speaking to personnel responsible for issuing it. Multiple items in order that were necessities and needed by the date listed when ordered, became lost and never arrived so I had purchased the needed items (including a coat for VT weather) from other stores and now need a refund for items that are delayed/lost. The Amazon page literally states to issue refund for the items as they have no set delivery date and Amazon made the mistake of promising dates for items they did not even have in stock and using a carrier ****** that is the least efficient or reliable for the area. I just need a refund for all 3 items that I've already purchased elsewhere. ***** should be the full amount for coat, body gel, and face serum.

      Hello, because I returned an Amazon Order # on October 18th I sent the camera of 111-1996321-9994605 to Amazon, and saw that Amazon had signed for this product in the *** delivery tracking number 1Z9758R12634803705. But they did not refund me, which made me very painful. I communicated with their customer service staff more than ten times. At first, they asked me to wait 60 days before giving me a solution, and after 60 days, they asked me to contact ***, which was ridiculous, because *** told me that Amazon had signed for this product. More than 70 days have passed since they signed for this product, but Amazon has not given me a refund. they ignore my request every time, and also ignore the fact that I have returned the goods, I want to complain to them,Could you please help me solve this problem and help me get my refund pls ,thank you

      On November 25, 2022 I bought a Logitech mouse pad on Amazon.com. It's was displayed on my account that the item was delivered on December 16, 2022, but I never received it. I checked with everyone I know nearby but no one has seen it.I contacted Amazon with online chat, but the representative acts like a robot and only knows copying and pasting words from their system. They refuse to either replacement or refund. The Order# is: 112-0779525-1325067.

      Hello *****, 

      I am Raman 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 see the concern that you have shared with the delivery on your order on December 16, 2022 and have reviewed it in detail. Based on the results of our investigation, we aren't able to provide a replacement or refund at this time.

      Based on the information provided by the carrier, we're able to confirm that your package was delivered with the same package weight and dimensions mentioned on our website.

      At this time, Amazon isn't able to resolve shipping problems after delivery, as outlined on our website in our Conditions of Use, noted under 'Risk of Loss' which states: "All items purchased from Amazon.com are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier." See ************************************************************************************ for more information.

      We advise you to contact *** in order to pursue this matter further. We also recommend that you consider selecting a more secure shipping address, such as your workplace or an Amazon Hub Locker, in the future to avoid further problems.

      I realize you're upset we've been unable to address your concerns to your satisfaction. However, we'll not be able to offer any additional insight or action on these matters, and any further inquiries on this matter will not receive a response.

      We appreciate your business and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.

      Regards, 
      Raman R.

      Hello ***************************,

      I'm Arun 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 the complaint and understand your concern regarding the gift card issue. 

      I apologize for the inconvenience. 

      I would like to inform you that if the gift card order is refunded, gift cards will be revoked and will be unusable. 

      Sorry for the statement provided in the email stating you can keep, donate or dispose, its the default statement for the order refund without return which is not applicable for gift card orders. 

      We'll not be able to take any action in this case from our end. Refund has been processed already. 

      Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to [email protected] if we can be of further assistance.

      Regards,
      Arun

      I am rejecting this response because:

      The Error was on your representative part. I feel when that happens any business should honor what they said and train your representative.  I gave cards as a angel **** for children that wasn't going to have a bright Christmas.  This is do wrong under the circumstances 

      Sincerely,
