      I'm already reached out to Amazon three asking them for a refund for my seller account because they make it impossible to actually sell your stuff on their website without going through hoops and battles to get there. I've asked for a refund because I don't want to sell my stuff on their website. They've given me the runaround and then finally they said they were going to give me the refund and I haven't gotten it yet and then trying to contact Amazon seller customer service is harder than trying to contact the dead. They make it so difficult to talk to someone, do difficult just to create and get verified, then so difficult to sell on their platform, it's one thing after another and before u know you, they want another payment from you and you haven't even been able to sell anything. This company is horrible to sellers. No ********* states are suing them. Amazon eventually got around to cancel my account but they have yet to issue my refund.

      I purchased a wig order number 113-0797085-0795406 using Sezzle via Amazon. The day the wig was supposed to be delivered the driver came while I was at work so I couldnt give him the deliver pin. For the next two days I waited at home for the wig every agent I spoke to kept saying it was going to be delivered. Never delivered. Canceled the deliver and requested my money back this was august 7th I placed the ordered august 10/11 I canceled delivery. Amazon refused to give my money back until august 21st so I filed a chargeback with my bank. Filed the chargeback but it affected my Sezzle account so I had to pay the $113 to get my account reopened. Reached out to Amazon today telling them to refund the order now they cant refund it Ive been hung up on, lied to over $113. For all the money people spend on Amazon the service is terrible and at this point I want to close my account and be done with this company. I want my refund for the item amazon never delivered three months ago. Amazon also needs to issue some type of compensation for the stress theyve put me through and the withholding of my money for three months!

      I'm ********* 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 reviewed your complaint and apologies for the inconvenience you have experienced with Order ID: *******************

      I see that the refund of $113.09 is processed on Friday, November 3, 2023, request you to wait 3-5 business days for this refund to reflect on your statement.

      Hi! I just received the reply from the amazon agent. They claim that I have been reimbursed by the chargeback claim I issued on June 9th. However I have never been reimbursed. I showed that  through the attachments I sent with the first complaint. I need them to see clearly that I have never been reimbursed, and if they really want to be sure, they need to contact my credit card issuer, although I was told by my credit card issuer, which is ************ to send them my statement, which I did. It seems like amazon is continuing to ignore my proof/attachments that are showing that I never was reimbursed, and that the funds were sent back to amazon, so they have the ability to give me a refund. I need them to look at what I sent and correct the erroneous information they have that I have been reimbursed.

      n June 26th, I lost the chargeback case, and the temporary credit was taken away from me, and I was left with the charge.Since then until the end of September, I had been re-opening the dispute case to try to get my refund. I went to amazon many times, but they didn't help much.On October 6th, several days after closing the last dispute with ************ I called amazon and was told I would get a refund and even got sent an email to confirm it. I was told it would take 3-5 days.I emailed amazon's billing department after 5 days when I saw no refund. They replied that no refund was actually processed and they wouldn't refund me since it seemed I was already reimbursed through the chargeback case. I explained that what I got was temporary credit and that it was taken away, but they replied that they couldn't help me, even when they confirmed they had the credit.I'm in touch with an executive agent who is looking into the situation but he hasn't responded for several days.

      First off your (1) one day earlier than estimated delivery is a false statement and was proven false by the picture of the the actual order. You meant to Amazon finally actually got it delivered on the day it was supposed to be delivered! After causing anxiety, abuse, and trauma for ALL the other over 85% failure rate of getting orders to me on time and/or at all!

      Hello *****,

      I'm Priyanka 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'm sorry to hear about the trouble you've had with Order # ***-XXXXXXX-XXX9804.

      Upon reviewing the details of your order, I see that the order was placed on Thursday, November 2, 2023 at 4:43 PM (PDT) with 'next-1dc' shipping and that the item was delivered on Friday, November 3, 5:13 PM at 5:13 PM, 1 day earlier than Guaranteed Delivery Date.

      We calculate delivery estimates by adding the transit time to the estimated shipping date. Transit time is based on your chosen shipping speed.

      If the item you order is out of stock or unavailable to ship immediately, you may not receive the item in one or two business days.

      Selecting One-Day or Two-Day shipping reduces the transit time to one or two business days after we've shipped your order, but won't impact the time it takes to obtain the item or prepare it for shipment.

      The shipping method time starts when the item ships. For example, it takes up to two business days after an item ships to reach you with Two-Day Shipping.

      You can learn more about how our shipping and delivery dates are calculated on our website here:
      *****************************************************************************************

      Please feel free to contact us directly by replying to *********************************************** if we can be of further assistance.

      This is not about pricing structure. This is about being charged brand new price for an item that had already been opened before I purchased it.

      Hello! I am a professional seller on Amazon, and recently I have launched a new product. However, after a few days, I realized my product was not in the incorrect category browse node. Amazon has listed it as a board game, when clearly it is a toddler toy. I have check other seller's listing and they all have the correct browse node. I have opened various cases, called amazon but still, all I receive in response is automated messages. It feels like a real human being is not seeing my emails. Without this change, customers are unable to find my product, and it also confuses customers. I ask BBB to send this email to Amazon so they would recognize the issue and help me to finally resolve it.The correct category browse node is: ********************* & ************************************************************** Toys Case ID: *********** Attached are the photo of my listing and it's browse node, and the same product browse nodes from my competitors

      After reviewing the seller's request, we were able to find the case ***********. The seller requested through this case the change of the browse node for the **** B0C8SWP4RM, and it was completed successfully.

      Currently, the **** is under the browse node: Toys & Games > Learning & Education > ***************** & Activity Toys > Sorting & Stacking Toys

      Date of Transaction: 23th October 2023 Amount of money charged: $795.95 Details regarding the situation:Misinformation and Undelivered Package: My order, with the reference number 111-8058890-8000227, was marked as "Delivered" on October 24, yet I have not received it. The tracking information provided by **** (Tracking Number: **********************) indicates that the package has been sent to a PO Box in ********, ** *****. This delivery location is different from the shipping address I provided during the order placement. Importantly, there is no PO Box associated with my delivery address. Refer to attached image.Proof of Delivery and **************** Interaction: I have reached out to your customer service team numerous times seeking assistance and clarification regarding this matter. However, the responses have been less than helpful, and I have not yet received a resolution to this issue. I have also been repeatedly directed to information about "Freight Forwarders and Hand Carry," which is not relevant to my situation, as the package was never delivered to third party at the first place. As stated from their customer service, there is no Proof of Delivery for the order. Refer to attached image.Given the circumstances, I kindly request that you take immediate action to resolve this situation as soon as possible. My preferred outcome is to either retrieve the package and have it delivered to the correct address, or have a refund or, at the very least, provide me with proof of delivery. This proof of delivery will be crucial in the event that I need to report the package as missing or undelivered.

      On 9/12/2023 I returned two items to Amazon via **** Both items were scanned and placed in one bag and sealed by the *** employee. Tracking #D2sQyMdzRRMA. One item was a pajama set for ***** and the other item was WIHOLL two piece outfit for *****. Amazon sent an email acknowledging the items had been dropped off and issued me a refund for both. The pajama set shows received by Amazon on 9/25/23. I received an email from Amazon stating that I needed to return the other item, WIHOLL outfit, or my account would be charged again for *****. I have contacted amazons customer service and cant get past the automated system to talk to anyone. I then emailed Amazon explaining that both items were in the same return bag and they had acknowledged receiving one so they would have received both. I received a response referring me to the same automated links with the same standard answers as I had received online. This is the third time Amazon has reversed a refund for an item I returned via **** Their instructions clearly state the process for returning items, which I followed. I searched online to see if anyone else was experiencing these problems. There are several sites with lots of complaints describing the very same problem Im having. Its not right for Amazon to treat customers this way. They fully acknowledged that they received the package by issuing me a refund on 9/12. Then again acknowledged they received the package containing both items by saying they received one returned item as both were in the same package. I want my refund reissued in the amount of *****.
