Hello,
I am ******* 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 am sorry for the inconvenience caused to you with your Amazon order #***-6100904-5593841. I've checked the order details and I can see that order is lost in transit, hence we have issued a refund for the order.
A refund was issued to your original payment method on October 7, 2022 for $32.39. 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:

Good Morning,So on Monday August 30, I received an email from [email protected] that said " Hello,We have closed this account. Our records show that your account is directly linked to an account we have closed for violating the terms of our Conditions of Use agreement. When we close your account for violating the terms of an agreement, you cannot open a new account or use another account to place orders on our site.We have canceled and refunded any open orders you had on this account.Any digital content that you purchased with this account is still available to you. To access the content, click the Manage Your Content and Devices link on the Your Orders menu on Amazon.com.If you would like to appeal this decision, please reply to this email to reach an account specialist. Our customer service team can only confirm that we sent this message and help you with technical issues. They cannot reverse this decision or share more details on this matter.Account Specialist Amazon.com"I was confused and at first thought it was a scam, but my amazon account was actually closed. Now based on this email, I did some research and assumed that maybe I purchased something from a closed seller, or maybe they think I have had another account that got closed.I have never had another amazon account, as my account had been around 5 years old, 3 of which I was a prime member. So I emailed back an appeal, asking for proof, they denied showing proof of misuse. I created a new account ********************** to place the orders of which had been gone since around the time they canceled my account in August. They closed it again this morning, AGAIN with no real explanation as to why. Please let me know of any details, because I am now considering that there has been a mix up of information. I am trying hard to be cordial, but they just charged my bank for $500+ and immediately closed my amazon account after.Business Response

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 01 November, 2022.

Good day!I am *******************************, owner of AVAN Home Market LLC. I am writing to seek assistance for the reinstatement of my Amazon account, which was suspended for violating the Section 3 of the Amazon Business Solutions Agreement.On January 7, 2022, we received the notification informing us about the violation of Section 3 of the Amazon Business Solutions Agreement, and we were requested to verify our seller identity through virtual verification which we did on January 17, 2022. We are in high hopes that the verification went well but apparently, that was the time that our account got deactivated due to the documents provided not matching the information we have on our seller account. We believe that the reason why the verification was denied is because the documents we have provided were invalid. The billing address that we have on the account does not match on the billing address registered on my Amazon Seller Account. Also, on the Articles of Organization my name, *******************************, does not reflect as the business owner. However, we have already updated the information to make sure that it matches on the information we have in our seller account. We have provided Amazon the new LLC documents showing my name, ******************************* as the business owner and also provided Amazon a new bank statement that has the corresponding billing address. We have provided all the documents to Amazon to show that we have updated all the information. Amidst all the documents and all the Plan of Action provided, our account is still deactivated and every time we contact Amazon helpline, they cannot provide us specific reason why our account cannot be activated. Respectfully,Name of Owner: ******************************* Seller Account Name: AVAN Home LLC Registered Seller Account Email: ************************ Phone Number: ************Business Response

I want to complaint about the u professionalism from Amazon logistic shipping drivers. This the 3rd time they drop off my packages at the wrong address without verifying the correct address or the individual. I was supposed to receive my package today with 8 items, the order number *****************. They left them at the wrong address and send me an email saying they delivered my package. I called Amazon customer service several times to resolve this situation and asked to speak to the supervisor and they hanged up on me three times and refuse to escalate my call request to speak to a supervisor! I have been robbed three times because of their unprofessionalism. Personally, I am going through enough stress in critical condition suffering harassment and it's my money and I am on disability. The last person I spoke to said they would replace my items and received them by this Friday. I am tired of this scenario and negligence from them. They have the worst customer service and I have been a loyal customer ever since 2013. This is uncalled for, and they should hire and train people who can do this job better! I don't want this to happened again!Business Response

After reviewing products I have purchased from Amazon for years, I suddenly received a message from them stating that my account had been banned from reviewing products due to "suspicious reviewing activity." When I wrote the email address given to inquire about why Amazon did this, I was given a generic "we are sorry but tough luck" email. I had been trying to get an answer since before summer 2022 with no response. They have also been sending me emails to review items, which is quite insulting considering they banned my account from doing so.Business Response

Amazon sent me email claiming that my account was tied with another account that was closed by them before, and so they removed my access to the account. I submitted my official Credit/Debit Card billing statement to them and they rejected it even though I was providing all the correct information they were asking for. I'm filing this complaint because I want access to my account again because I've done absolutely nothing wrong. This email I'm contacting from is the email associated with the amazon account in question.I've attached my billing statement if that helps.Business Response

I purchased (ORDER # ***-3244567-6693015) a TECSPACE 110V 2 tank 30L Commercial Slushy Machine for $1,157.61, on May 2. It was not working correctly. On May 31 i received the free return label (as stated on the return label) from them. I took this large item to *** and they told me it was a fake label and i would have to pay hundreds of dollars to ship it back. WHen i sent this to the TECSPACE and Amazon, TECSPACE said they did not send the return label email, Amazon did. I called Amazon on 6/7/22 and spoke with ******* at Amazon who said Amazon would come pick it up and return it. Nothing happened. On 6/16/22 I spoke with ***** and she said yes they would return and refund it and i would get an A to Z email claim from Amazon. I received one on 6/16 saying they would not return and i could reapply if i felt it was in error. On 6/21/22 I called Amazon again and spoke with **** and explained what happened, she said it would be returned and i would be refunded. Nothing happened. On 7/13/22 i spoke in a chat with ******* at Amazon who said it would be returned and i would be refunded. nothing happened. I then started to tweet to Amazon about this. I was in communication with them around 8/5 and a **** tweeted that they would call me. no one called. we tweeted back and forth a couple of weeks later and again they said they would call me to discuss this. well they did not call but sent me an email saying we aren't taking it back. The item was not working for us. i applied for a refund i can show you on amazon where the seller and Amazon approved the return. But i still have this broken machine and have not been reimbursed. I am also sending where ******** said that the fake return label came from amazon.Business Response

On September 1, 2022, my son purchased items from Amazon using 2 Amazon gift cards, On September 2, 2022, my son learned that Amazon dissolved his original account, because they told him that his account was fraudulent because he used their Amazon gift cards, which did not make sense to us. We called numerous customer service reps who all refused to restore his account or assist us. There is a message on Amazon which states that my son did not make any purchases in September, however, once we search and find the item, it shows the purchase date, but no way for him to send the item back for a refund. It is like Amazon erased all his payment information, so that he is unable to manage his account. Because Amazon dissolved my son's account, he is unable to return items that need to be returned back to Amazon. It has been over a month, and still Amazon has not restored his account, and he is stuck with items that he cannot return. It is Amazon's policy that customers are able to return items within the 30 days. In addition, Amazon stole money from my son, by charging a credit card on his account, after he had received all his items. This was over $300 worth of charges, that affected his bank account negatively. Again, we have sent emails to the **** and other bodies of Amazon and no one has returned our emails or calls. We need a resolution to this problem.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:The email has been provided numerous times, the one associated with the account is ************************. There is proof that he ordered items, before Amazon dissolved the account without his knowledge. Once again, there needs to be a way for my son to return some of the items that he purchased that were shipped broken along with clothes that were the wrong size. We also want his original account to be available so that he can see where his money went, there were charges on his credit card after he had received all his purchases, which indicates fraud on Amazon's side, we need that investigated as well.

I have been an Amazon Prime member for 8+ years. I also have a Amazon Prime credit card. Last Thursday, Sept 29th, I received a text that my Amazon account was closed. I tried to log into my account with no avail. I called and spoke to 6 different representatives over the course of 4 days and no one could tell me why my account was closed. It was "not my department" or "proprietary" and there was no one they could transfer me to who could explain. They said someone would be in touch by email and the only contact I received was that the account was closed, The last representative I spoke to told me my account had been voided, meaning my Amazon prime credit card points, gift card balances, outstanding return orders, receipts for items purchased were all erased. the balance in my account is my money and I demand my account be reinstated and my balance returned. I have been a loyal Amazon customer for a long time and do not appreciate their absolute disregard for their customers, closing accounts with no warning or explanation.Business Response
