An Amazon delivery driver damaged my property and rather than notifying me of any damage, drove away. Amazon is now requiring an exhaustive process to resolve the complaint requiring me to take time away from my work and personal matters when they should be handling all logistics related to this issue. I also cannot send them a video of the driver backing into my fence and damaging *********** that runs under my driveway because their system does not allow for uploads of large files. This should be on Amazon to come investigate, get estimates and repair due to the negligence of their driver.Business Response

I purchased a Jurassic Park table and chairs set on 9/22/22 in the amount of $31.79. I never receive the item. The item was returned to amazon. Amazon claims they sent me a refund of $31.79 on 10-14-22 however I have not received this refund. I have reached out to my bank several times, spoke with a supervisor and was assured no refund has been sent by Amazon. I reached back out to Amazon and there response is it was sent , oh well there's nothing we can do. I just want my money back.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:I tried to contact the brand registry support more than once, but all the answers were absolutely not to the point. I turned to you because you are my last hope. My Amazon listings are still not active as the system requires me to get permission from absolutely another brand with the same name *****. And this is completely absurd. I ask you to influence Amazon to resolve this situation. Please untie my ***** brand from someone else's brand!

On October 28th I order a body shaper for $15.99 after tax it was $17.15 and a mini Keriug for $75.06. Amazon never had the items available but charged me anyways for the items to be shipped out. The items were supposed to come October 30th and I never received any shipping information. Every representative that I have spoken to has yet to solve the issue. They keep saying it is an authorization charge however my bank told me that it is an actual charge and that the merchant has to refund me the money. AMAZON REFUSES TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK. I am extremely upset with the nature of this issue. There was false advertisement of items they never had in stock. This issue has to be resolved.Business Response

a purchase was made and a specific credit card was selected to be used. when said purchase happened a fraud alert came across and it was addressed as not fraud, ie please continue and process the transaction as is. amazon decided upon its own to not wait for this to be rectified and charged another card on the account, which we did not want to be charged. we immediately called amazon which is a feat upon its self to get a real person. once we got ahold of someone they told us we can cancel the transaction but that would mean a delay in shipping and that is not what we could needed for this item it needed to be there by a certian day. we have removed this card so it can not be charged again by this company. very upset and has been digging and eating away at my physical and mental well being because of this transaction for 6+ months the complaint is unauthorized use of a card that we did not want to be used for this purchase, why do you have someone select a card to use if you choose what to use anyway?Business Response

I have been trying to reinstate my Amazon account for over a month now. I got blocked for violating policies when adding listings. I had a program that was adding listings in large numbers without much checking. Since we didn't have the rights to sell some products, Amazon considered this a violation and blocked our account. What's more, for some reason they accused us of making changes to the listings and trying to circumvent the restrictions on selling certain brands. But this is simply not possible, since only the creator of the listings can make such changes. And we weren't the creator, we just added an existing product to our inventory. I admitted my mistake. I prepared a detailed action plan describing my new business model, but I keep getting rejections. What's more, I get them 5 minutes after I send them in. How is it even possible to study a 3 page appeal in detail in 5 minutes? I am asking you to help me unblock my account and get my business back.Business Response

Dear BBB, Amazon has suspended my Seller Account due to violating the policies. I believe that such a harsh action was unjustified, that I honestly accepted the mistakes I made, and that I failed to control the actions of my employee correctly. I did not violate the policies intentionally, and my mistakes have harmed no customers. All Amazon customers were provided the best customer service from our side, and we strive to become better to pursue the perfect customer service. I ask you to please reach out to Amazon for an additional review of our account and ask them to consider reinstating it. Kind regards.Business Response

21.10.2022 I decided to place an order on amazon. it was 9.99$ order. i had money on my ******* account (cryptocurrency exchange). I logged into the ******* app and went to the CryptoRefills website (website for the sale of gift cards). I bought on the CryptoRefills website an Amazon gift card with the nominal value of $20, for which I gave 20 of mine BUSD. That's how I got my amazon gift card. I made an order on amazon on the same day and on the same day my account was blocked. After that, I received email asking me to confirm that I am the owner of the gift card. I have attached screenshots of my transactions to confirm that I am the owner. 22.10.2022 another letter came to the email that my account is on hold and I still need to confirm the documents which ones were not specified and how exactly to contact was also not said. after that I contacted support on their website using a second email, but the first time the support consultant could not help me at all. Only he gave an email [email protected] . in which I described the all problem, but they did not respond to this email in any way. After that I contacted the support service two more times and there was no response to my request. They couldn't help me in any way. Today 31.10.2022 I sent another request and told the details of my bank. How this will help I don't understand. Also taking into account this lock, I lost my $20 gift card.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
ID ******** This Amazon answer did not satisfy me. They told me that I can send documents when I log in from my account to the site. But when I go to the site there is nothing there, I will attach a screenshot of the page as the first file. They also don't have an email address where I can send documents. In the last message, when I sent the documents on their website, they asked me to provide the gift card documents, which I did. after which nothing was decided, although I clearly sent everything. I suspect they need my billing address because the first time I mistyped the shipping address instead. So I ask the BBB to send amazon files ( two PDF files) and all about my billing address.
(My billing address is "******. ******. *************. ************. ****************************************************************************" )
As well as additional information about buying a gift card and a letter for Amazon, I will attach all this in the files below. I hope this helps resolve the dispute. Send all information to amazon and all attached files. let amazon restore access to my account and cancel my gift card if I violated something.
