I am *****************************. I have an Amazon Seller account and have been operating and selling at Amazon Marketplace but got suspended last 3 May 2022 due to Dropshipping and a Seller Code of Conduct violation. I want to give your office an overview of my account status to help you understand my dispute and hopefully help me negotiate with Amazon to reactivate my account because I still have withheld funds amounting to Two Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-************Eight cents ($2,971.68) that needed to be withdrawn as soon as possible.We are operating and using a dropshipping model on our business, as per Amazon policies and guidelines, this is deemed acceptable as long as we can guarantee that only our name is identified on all our items, unfortunately, in our recent transaction, our team failed to do a thorough quality check on the items before they were shipped to our customers, which triggered our current policy suspension.I am humbly asking your good office to help us negotiate with Amazon to reactivate my account and withdraw my funds amounting to $2,971.68. Please know that I only sell on Amazon Marketplace and this is my only source of income. That is why I really need to resolve this issue as soon as possible. From the start of my business, my team can guarantee that we have always been abiding by the policies and guidelines of the Marketplace. Thank you for the time to read my request.

Hello,

We have reviewed the sellers account and we are unable to reinstate their selling privileges.

We took these actions because the seller was in violation of our Code of Conduct policy.

Under the terms of this sellers agreement with Amazon Services, we removed their selling privileges and placed a temporary hold on any funds in their seller account on May 3, 2022. We notified the seller of this decision by email on that day.

The seller can write to us at [email protected] on or after that date to request a transfer of any funds remaining in their seller account.

Sincerely,
Amazon.com

I am ***********************. I have an Amazon Seller account. I have been operating and selling at Amazon Marketplace but got suspended last 24 July 2021 due to an inauthenticity claim. This suspension stated that my store is selling potentially counterfeit items.I want to give your office an overview of my account status to help you understand my dispute and hopefully help me negotiate with Amazon to reactivate my account because I still have withheld funds amounting to Sixteen Thousand Six Hundred Sixteen ****************Six cents ($16,616.56) that needed to be withdrawn as soon as possible.From the start of my business, my store did the dropshipping model, where my team allowed our supplier/s to deliver all our items from their warehouse straight to the customers; because of this, we had no opportunity to physically check and inspect all our items. We made sure from the start that all our supplier/s are authorized and legitimate; because of this, we are very complacent that the items that our supplier ships to our customers are authentic, legitimate, and not counterfeit. I am humbly asking your good office to help us negotiate with Amazon to reactivate my account and withdraw my funds amounting to $16,616.56. Please know that I only sell on Amazon Marketplace and this is my only source of income. That is why I really need to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Hello,
sellers account was blocked for CCR complaints back in August of 2021. A month later seller appealed with invoices which were deemed fabricated by the supplier itself. Seller appealed multiple times with a plan of action but failed to address in detail fabrication and drop shipping concerns which are both violation of Amazon's policies.

I purchased five Amazon cloud cameras as well as the Amazon key Smart Lock from Amazon. I've received notice that as of December 2nd 2022 they are no longer supporting the products I purchased because they can no longer competitively compete. They have offered an inferior product that is a fourth of the price that I spent on the cameras to replace and did not offer a replacement Smart Lock to even replace my product. They're proposed solution to their business failure does not make the consumer whole and offers them half baked solutions that her pennies on the dollar of what the consumer spent. I request that Amazon come up with a more equitable solution where I can have a more comparable product replacement.

Amazon has been taking UNAUTHORIZED PAYMENTS from my debit card since 2017 without my knowledge. I have been charged $10.65 a month for Amazon Kindle, which I DID NOT authorize and only recently discovered because of an issue with my debit card. I was never notified that these payments were being taken out, not by email or any other form of notification. They are also difficult to find on the Amazon account. I have been notified many times about my Amazon Prime renewals and payments, but never for Kindle, which I never use! I was issued a refund for only 1 year and was told the system does not allow refunds past 1 year and absolutely no exceptions can be made!REALLY? This is how Amazon/******************* treats their customers? I am 60 years old and still work very hard for my money! Amazon's refusal to refund the entire amount going back to 2017 is a disgrace! So were the phone representatives who flat out refused to make an exception or acknowledge that they were wrong! AMAZON, a BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY, TOOK UNAUTHORIZED PAYMENTS adding up to $639.00 FROM A SENIOR CITIZEN and is refusing to give the money back! They can absolutely make an exception, especially since THEY took my money without my permission!

Despite numerous complaints and a demand letter, Amazon.com *** still disregards my shipping orders.I am currently on hold at the number ************ currently 7 minutes. This is the number listed at BBB. They have no interest in helping despite their claims and re-assurances. I was just disconnected. I am contacted them again.Order# ***-2370139-0474600 As you can see in this photo my delivery instructions could not be clearer and I have had issues with shippers since mid-August.I called the number, and I did have a positive correspondence with a supervisor which will deprioritize *** in their system and allow me to get packages slower with other shippers, which is acceptable to me. I just want to say though it is very hard to talk to the right person and get the change made.*** also enables door delivery on their app, but they will not fulfill it always.The people that respond to these complaints will not actually solve anything and will continue to re-assure you at all costs that they will get it right next time.What a pain!!!

Hello I am writing to you regarding a situation that has arisen between me (as a seller) and Amazon. On September 20, an intellectual property violation under ASIN B07L1WZ853 appeared in my account health. I have filed a complaint twice and after the second attempt I received a positive response from Amazon (I attached a screenshot of the response along with the complaint). However, the complaint remained in account health and continues to affect the status of my account. I tried to contact Amazon several times, indicating that they accepted my appeal and wrote that they had removed the violation from my health account, but I received ************'s responses related to my request. The last response I received also said that Amazon successfully accepted my appeal and withdrew the complaint, but the complaint is still in account health. Therefore, my requirement is the following - to correct a technical error and remove the complaint from my account health.

**** case number: C0119995438) **** Claim # **********A) **** TRACTING: 1ZW8X8500314449991) *** did NOT SCAN THE RETURN TRACKING, so the return tracking does not have any information. PLEASE use the original tracking that came delivered to my house. Because the *** driver did not bring the return label, so the label in the box was used for investigation and the claim. I called the *** and was told that *** will pay amazon full refund for the package but they are waiting for a paper work to be sent to ***. Please send the document needed and get the refund from the *** and give me back my refund of $429.46. (Order# ***-5168389-9994623) Please do not use the return tracking, use the first tracking that amazon sent the item to my house (I added the tracking# on top) I called *** and talked to office (*****), claim department(skieo), and the investigation team (haily), It is all recorded, and they all told me that *** will give FULL refund to AMAZON. And so if I do not get my refund, it means that amazon is a fraud and got money from *** and From me. SO AMAZON GOT DOUBLE THE MONEY!!

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.

While I see the concern shared on the return, we will not be able to issue a refund at this time. The tracking on the return label showed the item was not received by **** leave alone received in our *************************.

Unless the correct item is received, processed and confirmed, we are not able to issue a refund.

You can either pursue options on the claim with *** or retrieve the item and request a new label where you return for a refund.

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.

Dear Better Business Bureau,On October 5, 2022 I recieved an email from Amazon Account Specialists that my organization, Tanzan LLC., was removed from Amazon Business and I would no longer have access to Amazon Business benefits. I was also informed that all attempts to create a new Amazon Business account under my organization would be blocked and closed. Prior to this email, I had recieved no inidication as to what terms my organization had not adhered to. I had reached out to the Account Specialist team numerous times with no reply and no explanation as to the reasoning for my organization to be removed from Amazon Business. I have run numerous checks over my recent purhcases made prior to the ban and have ensured all activities were legitimate and within Amazon's Terms and Conditions. I can only assume that Amazon Account specialists have made an error on their end that has caused me financial insecurity and disrupted my business. I am asking for my organization to be unbanned from Amazon Business so that I may continue to use Amazon Business benefits. I have written my business organizations' information below: Name: Tanzan LLC.Address: ************************************************************************ Phone Number: ************ Email: ************************ Thank you for your time.

I am sorry to hear that you no longer have access to Amazon Business Benefits.

Weve reviewed this concern and confirmed the accounts removal from Amazon Business stands and cannot be reversed. Additionally, previously removed accounts cannot be reinstated.

This account was removed from Amazon Business because it was closely related with other accounts that were removed in violation of Section 14 of the Amazon Business Feature Terms & Conditions.
