      Made an online purchase with Amazon. I decided to return the item. I did so within the return policy guidelines. At the time of the purchase and when initiating the return Amazon provided a return policy. Amazon changed the terms of their policy without consent. I feel this is a breach of contract. I have attempted to contact Amazon for a refund. Each time the return policy changes. First the policy is quoted as "refund issued upon receipt" allow for processing. Than it became 5-7 days after receipt, Than 10 Business days. Most recently 27 days after receipt allow for processing.

      As a Wholesale Apparel Accessory Business I decided to sign up with Amazon, as I felt it would improve sales, etc. Unfortunately it proved to be a misleading, misrepresentation in my opinion, as I found out.1) Problems logging on to service any prospective customers. Amazon rates you as to the number of sales you have. If I cannot log on, I certainly cannot serve my customer or fill any ********* Email after Email back and forth, back and forth. Statements that lead to your online account to involve seller support. IF YOU CANNOT LOG IN, HOW CAN YOU REACH SELLER SUPPORT??? RIDICULOUS.3) Then they try to upsell you with Seller Promotional Advertising to get more and more money out of you, because more than likely in the back pages customers searching will NEVER find your product pages.Even after I personally performed a search on my products, SPECIFICALLY WITH MY PRODUCT NAME EXACTLY, WHICH NO ONE ELSE ON EARTH HAS...SOMEONE ELSES PRODUCT POPPED ** IN THE SEARCH.THIS IS A FRAUD!

      Greeting from Amazon Services,

      I understand that the seller would like to downgrade their Professional Seller Account to an Individual Account and be refunded the $39.99 Professional Subscription Fee.  They are also asking about search results and paid advertising.

      Sellers are eligible for a Professional selling plan refund if they have not used any Professional tools or benefits after signing up. If they want to end your Professional selling plan, they are eligible for a one-off refund of up to three months, and their refund request needs to be initiated within 90 days from the payment date of the Professional plan selling fees. If they meet this refund criteria, the seller should contact Selling Partner Support for assistance with refunds.

      To downgrade the account, the seller can:
      1.  Hover of "Settings" in the upper right corner of your screen
      2.  Click on "Account Info"
      3.  In the right Your Services section, click on the blue "Manage" link
      4.  Click on "Downgrade" and agree on the terms and conditions.
      NOTE: selling in ****** does require a professional account.

      After switching the account to Individual selling plan, the seller will no longer be charged a monthly subscription fee and will instead be charged a per-item fee of for each item sold.

      When they switch from a Professional to an Individual selling plan, they will lose access to certain features, including:

      - Use of feeds, spreadsheets, and other tools to load inventory
      - Access to order reports and order-related feeds
      - Eligibility to compete for listing placement in the Buy Box
      - Ability to define your own shipping rates and service levels for non-BMVD items
      - Ability to create promotions

      The seller may request an account closure by using the following tool: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/solution/DA_CloseAccount2

      Factors such as the history of buyer viewings, the sales history of an item, price, and current availability all influence the location which a specific product achieves in the search results. This means that products that sell better tend to be toward the beginning of the list. Therefore, as the sales increases the seller can expect their products to appear more frequently toward the beginning of the search results.

      Paid Advertising or Sponsored Products is an optional service for bidding on keywords. Search results are not guaranteed, however there are tools available to help optimize listings.

      Dear BBB Investigator,I am a third-party seller on Amazon (Merchant Token A10CK2G9NQ3TAV) and they have deactivated my account until I can prove the items I was selling are authentic but they wont accept my invoices because they cannot verify my suppliers. Therefore, I provided a plan of action that states I am no longer sourcing from SE LLC, GOAT, Stadium Goods, or Kohls. In accordance with Amazons anti-counterfeiting policy, I understand I must be able to provide invoices when requested from suppliers who have a verifiable supply chain. Amazon has stopped responding to my appeal even though I am committed to quality sourcing going forward. Can you help?Respectfully,*****************************

      I have had ongoing issues with Amazon regarding the quality of the merchandise I have received, restocking fees that are not appropriate, products and sellers that are unscruplous that no one is checking out, selling products that are either refurbished, out of warranty from the manufacturers, no product support as promised, and after 30 days I have a profound fear of losing my money so I buy and return from the start. The last disaster is receiving another laptop that is out of warranty from the manufacturer uses copper wiring that you can see when you turn the laptop over, and it getting very very very hot which according to my retired tech friends is not normal. At first I thought it was upon charging but it was not. Then I have had to deal with a seller selling a refurbished laptop as new and keeping fees because he lied about the fact that it did not come with accessories. Then I return shoes that i tried before I buy and one I did return with the box the other one the box wouldnt fit in the bag so I returned it new and they took out fees. They are holding back my money which I am charged interest from the credit card and **** is alot of money to have on hold. No one checks out these sellers or sanctions these sellers,and they make it seem like for some reason it is my issue when it is not that I buy and return and buy and return. I am a senior citizen and I need large screens, large numbers, and have tremors, and cant see that well. Other than that I am a retired professional women and I know junk from not junk, and once this is said and done I want to suspend my account with Amazon. It is no bargain. I would rather buy from **** directly or HP directly or such. OR chewy for dog food so I am not getting expired dog food or batteries, or etc.

      I apologize for the inconvenience that you've experienced in this case.

      As per the update from the seller, laptop has multiple scratches on the lid and has significant signs of usage and if the laptop is returned in its original condition, no restocking fee would be charged.

      I'm sorry, we'll not be able to take any action in this case from our end. 

      If there was any alternative to refund the amount, we would have surely helped you further.

      Complaint: 17637446

      I am rejecting this response because: the issue is that Amazon does not check out sellers and buyers . Sellers are selling refurbished laptops as new. I have bought and returned many things and found out in this particular case the seller is lying. First he said he didnt refund my restocking fee because it didnt have accessories returned then he replies to Amazon that he would have sent me the accessories. I had the *** store checkin the item before returning it as I did today with another laptop that was listed as new and resold as a refurbished laptop.  I find out these sellers donthave valid phoen numbers and or addresses that arelisted as farmers market and or mailboxes and when I called that number after my investigation after the fact they never heard of that company .  The seller used someone elses broken laptop to say that I sent back one with scrattches that is a BALD FACE LIE LIE. I asked Amazon to put in an A to Z claim for me.  To sanction these sellers. They also took out a restocking fee for new try before I buy sandals that I tried on in the house and returned the same day I got it but I didnt put the box in the torn bag for fear it would get lost and I was also deducted a fee.  However, I did return the other shoes that were not true to size even though they said it was and someone has to check out these sellers like I have done to protect me and others.  From false claims, lies, fees, etc.  Just like this PC online who is also selling new laptops that are refurbished with old batteries and take forever for it to boot up and charge up.  I am besides myself. I cannot wait 30 days to get my money back I want this expedited to a higher ** in ******* who can help me.  I dont want I could if I would.  That is unacceptable I am losing money and time and have notified my credit card as I have to pay interest on these things.  Amazon does nothingn to protect buyers and I find this out after the fact as all the laptops I have had I returned within the first week of owning them so I didnt get stuck losing **** plus dollars just for that reason.  A new new laptop should not have these issue, a refurbished laptops sold as new will have thse issues. This seller lied he put a picture of a laptop that was not even mine that is fraud.  Or I told him if *** damaged it in shipping file a claim with *** not me.  I want to be compensated and have these sellers not sell on Amazon.  Like Hot Tech Geek, this seller and PC online.  Then I was lied to and told Amazon offers tech support and when I have called for tech support I was told directly from Amazon they do not call the manfuturer. So I called ASUS and **** and they toldme that it is not a new product even though it claims it is it is out of warranty and I have no protection if somethiing goes wrong after 30 days what a mess. I dont want to buy from Amazon any longer.  Even dog food is expired.  

      Sincerely,

      On July 21st, Amazon sent an email to me saying that my account was closed because I consistently ask them to issue refunds. That day I didnt ask for a refund I tried emailing them and letting them know that I didnt use my account to ask for the refund. Ive tried emailing them back and its just the same email resent every time. All of the instructions they told me in order to appeal what happened I would have to log into an Amazon account which I couldnt because my account is closed and wont work. Its very devastating that I cant make a new account or even use my original account when I would use Amazon to purchase a lot of things. No one helps you Ive been trying for over a little over a week and nothing. I tried calling and speaking to costumer service to see if they could help me resolve the problem and they told me to wait 24- ******************************************** I waited and received the same email from [email protected] . It is ridiculous that even the slightest thing Amazon is just closing down accounts without people knowing, I cant even use my television without an Amazon account or even create a new account because they will close that one down too. *** tried to apologize and beg to see what I can do In order to get my account back. All I ask is for my Amazon account be reinstated I will do anything in order to have it back.

      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 am so sorry to hear of the delivery concern with Order ending **** and have looked it ** in detail. The tracking on the delivery shows it was delivered to the correct location on Friday, July 22 at 3:03 PM. 

      The information shared with you was correct, we would not be able to issue a refund at this time. Amazon.com is not 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.". 

      You may wish to contact your local police authorities to pursue this matter further.

      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.

      Im sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

      I'd love to help, however, I wasn't able to find the order you asked about using the email address on your message. For your account's protection, we're only able to provide account and order information when we can confirm the request is coming from the account holder through the email address on the account.

      Please write back with your Amazon account associated email address/phone number and any related order numbers available so that I can investigate further.

      Regards,
      Arun

      On 3.4.22 I purchased an Amazon Cube in the amount of ******. The payment was completed with a gift card from Amazon for ***** and ***** from a Discover card. I returned the item and originally received a credit in the form of an Amazon gift card on 3.16.22 for the full amount of ******. My mom uses my account occasionally and I accidentally used her Discover card without realizing it for the charge of *****. When she received her statement she didn't recognize the charge of ***** and disputed it without asking me. On 5.2.22 Amazon took the entire gift card refund credit back of ******, not just the *****. That's the first issue. My mom called me and we figured out what had happened so she obviously immediately dropped her dispute. My mom received a letter on 5.8.22 confirming the charge was valid and she was charged for it as she should have been and I would pay her back. I have spent an insane amount of hours trying to resolve this with Amazon because they owe me the full. ****** back as I returned the item which I can prove, paid moms Discover which we can prove and they never returned any of the gift card including the ***** that was never in dispute. I have been told my EVERY single representative of Amazon on the phone they can see what my issue is and agree I should receive my money back but their hands are tied and a special department has to fix it. I also have an email from one stating this. First I was told the gift card department has to fix it which I gave 3 seperate chances by email because supposedly you can't talk to them on the phone. Then I was told I needed to respond to an email from the disputes department with proof I returned the item and dropped or paid the disputed amount which I did (again *****) was never in dispute. I received a reply back that they investigated and it was settled with Discover which is not true. I disputed that WITH PROOF and I received the same response. I need help resolving this matter please. They refuse to call me.
