  I ordered a IPad Pro from Amazon on April 20, 2025, for $1,069.97(Order ID: ********************. After multiple failed delivery attempts, the package was suddenly marked as delivered and signed for by A *****, which is not my name or my signature. I never received the item.I have filed two claims and one appeal with Amazon all denied. However, I have new information that was not considered, including:A signature mismatch (false delivery signature),Confirmation from the seller and ***** that no further delivery attempts would be made,A non-functioning tracking number ******* ************) which prevented me from filing a ***** claim directly.Ive spoken to multiple Amazon agents, including someone from the Leadership Team named Reinwick, who acknowledged the issue and was working on it but the chat disconnected before resolution. Since then, Ive been passed between agents, disconnected from chats, and told to repeat steps Ive already completed.I am requesting that Amazon honor its A-to-Z Guarantee and refund the money for the undelivered package.

  I pay for Amazon prime services. I placed a order on 4/26/25 to have the order received by 7am-11am 4/27/25. The order was scheduled and out for delivery. The next notification I received was advising my order is late and would not be deliver until the next day by 6pm. I called and spoke to a manger who offered me a $15 credit. He also advised the driver labeled he could not deliver due to external issues but did not call anyone to make them aware so its a classic case of negligence. I ordered a laptop which I needed to start a new job on 4/28/25 at 11am that is why I ordered overnight delivery. I am paying for a service that I am simply not getting. This is not the first instance of ordering overnight and the delivery not being fulfilled at the initial time of the order. This is unacceptable, I spent over an hour on the phone to get an unsatisfactory resolution and to miss out on a new job opportunity because a delivery driver did not want to do his/her job.

  Date: 4/25/2025 Merchant: Amazon Fresh Amount: $197.51 Refund: $158.99 On April 25, 2025, I placed a grocery order with Amazon Fresh online using my EBT card ending in #****. Delivery was scheduled between 1:003:00 p.m. I was not home at the time, but when I arrived, I noticed the groceries delivered were for another customer. I attempted to contact the delivery driver, but they had disabled chat. I immediately contacted Amazon support. The agent also tried to reach the driver but discovered they did not speak English and transferred me to another department. There, another agent also tried contacting the driver but was unsuccessful.I was informed that since the items were food, they could not be returned, and I was advised to keep, donate, or discard them. I was offered either a redelivery or a full refund of $197.51 back to my EBT card. I was told the refund would process within a few hours. However, I only received a partial refund of $38.00.I contacted Amazon Fresh support again, and three agents confirmed the remaining $158.99 refund was approved and pending, stating it would be issued within 12 hours. However, by the next morning (April 26, 2025), I received an email from Amazon stating they found the account "suspicious." Without asking for any verification or ID, they abruptly closed my account and refused to refund the remaining $158.99 back to my EBT card, despite previous assurances. I have only had one other Amazon account and that account was compromised by someone who hacked the account and attempted to make large purchases under another another name in which I had no access to this account at all. which I personally reached out to Amazon about and was assured that this account was flagged completely closed and that it would not hinder me in a near future making a purchase with them. but I am now finding out that Amazon is flagging my own personal account thinking that I am hacking my own account after I have offered to provide photo ID.

  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.

  We have denied the customers request for a refund.

  Consistent with Amazons Conditions of Use, Gift Cards that have been obtained, used, or applied to an Amazon.com account in violation of our terms and conditions may be voided by Amazon. Amazon further reserves the right to suspend or terminate the ability to use Amazon services, cancel or limit orders, and to bill alternative forms of payment if we determine that a Gift Card was obtained, used, or applied to an Amazon.com account in violation of 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 5/7/2025.

  Rechazo esta respuesta porque:

  I am respectfully rejecting Amazons response because it does not address the core issue I have been trying to solve for months.
  Amazon repeatedly suggests I file an appeal through my Seller Central account, but this is not possible: my account is completely blocked, and I am unable to access the appeal section or communicate through any internal channel.
  In addition, Amazon continues to request documentation that I have already stated I cannot provide. I have accepted the infringement and explained that I do not have invoices or authorization from an official supplier because the product in question was a generic item manufactured in *****. I was transparent about this from the beginning.
  To make matters worse, Amazon required me to delete all my inventory, which I am also unable to do due to the account being locked. This has created a closed-loop situation with no resolution path.
  I even complied with a video verification call, for which I had to hire and pay an interpreter, and still received no assistance or decision afterward.
  I have invested hundreds of dollars in this business in good faith, only to be met with silence, inaction, and constant automated responses. I am extremely disappointed with Amazon's handling of this issue and urge the BBB to take note of the lack of a meaningful resolution path offered to affected sellers like myself.
  I am not asking for an apology or a refund. I am simply asking to either:
  Recover access to my account to comply with what Amazon is asking, or
  Officially close the account, if ********************** refuses to allow me to continue.
  Thank you for your assistance.

  I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the actions taken by Amazon related to my seller accounts across multiple marketplaces (primarily ****** and ******), following an issue with my Amazon Japan seller account.Recently, my ********************** Japan seller account was placed under review due to a delivery verification issue involving only 56 seller-fulfilled orders. While the number of affected orders was minimal, Amazon completely deactivated my Japan account and removed my access to the Seller Central panel, making it impossible for me to upload tracking or proof of delivery information as ************ a result of this deactivation, my ****** and Mexico seller accounts were also automatically deactivated, even though they were operating normally and independently of my Japan account. My primary ********************** was ******, where I had a significantly larger number of orders and an available balance that I am now unable to ********* resolve the issue and retrieve my funds, I participated in Amazons official video verification process for fund disbursement. During this session, I fully cooperated and answered every question asked. After the video call:Mexico released my funds, and I successfully withdrew them.Canada, however, stated that they will not release the funds Moreover, shortly after, I received an additional notice stating that my Mexico funds might also be withheldeven though they were previously releaseddue to the same Japan-related problem.I kindly ask the Better Business Bureau to assist me in addressing this matter and urge Amazon to reconsider their decision to withhold my funds without a clear or fair resolution path.

  I strongly reject Amazons response regarding my complaint.
  While Amazon claims to be "the most customer-centric company in the world," it continuously fails to treat its own ******************************* sellerswith fairness and transparency. My accounts were suspended and my funds withheld without proper justification, and I was not even given access to the necessary tools to resolve the issue.
  My Amazon Japan account had only 5 or 6 fulfilled orders, and those came under review. Before I could even respond or upload tracking details, Amazon deactivated my account and completely removed my access to the Seller Central panel. This is extremely problematic, because all order data, shipment details, tracking information, and customer communication are stored within the seller panel. By cutting off access, Amazon blocked my ability to defend myself or resolve the matter.
  Even worse, the issue with Japan was unfairly linked to my Amazon ****** and ****** accounts, which were performing well and had no violations. I completed the official video call for fund disbursement. Initially, Amazon released my Mexico funds, which I successfully withdrew. But then, they reversed their decision and claimed both Canada and Mexico balances would be held due to the Japan issue. This inconsistency shows a lack of internal coordination and an extremely unfair review process.
  My main sales activity and largest balance were in Amazon ******, where I had thousands of successful orders and satisfied customers. Punishing this accountand withholding my moneybecause of a small, unrelated issue in ***** is unjust and unethical.
  I respectfully request that Amazon:
  Restores access to my Amazon Japan seller panel so I can provide the required documents.
  Releases the withheld funds in my Amazon Canada account, which were earned legitimately and unrelated to the Japan case.
  Amazon must stop using vague policy language to hold funds indefinitely, especially while denying sellers access to the very platform needed to comply with their demands. This is not how a globally respected company should treat its partners.
  
  Sincerely,

  I am the legal representative of *************, a seller account that was deactivated by Amazon on August 16, 2024. After the account was closed, ********************** withheld funds from our balance.These funds come from legitimate customer orders fulfilled by us in good faith. We sourced the inventory from a third-party supplier called ********, who presented themselves as an authorized distributor. We paid them and received invoices and supply chain documents, which were submitted to Amazon.Amazon rejected those documents, stating they could not verify the supplier. We independently contacted the supplier mentioned in Ecomsole's documents (Bulk Buy America), and they confirmed that they never made any sale related to our order. This raised concerns that the documents from ******** may have been modified or not genuine.We contacted ******** several times to clarify and provide authentic documentation, but they failed to cooperate. As a result, we terminated our relationship with them and compiled all communications, contracts, and payment *********** this day, Amazon has not provided any evidence that the products were inauthentic. The account deactivation was based solely on the suppliers unverifiable documentation, not confirmed counterfeit sales.We submitted over 10 formal appeals, multiple phone calls, emails, and a formal legal dispute package. Amazon continues to respond with automated messages, ignoring the evidence.We respectfully request a proper review of the dispute and the release of the withheld funds, or a documented resolution from a qualified Amazon representative.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  Thank you for forwarding Amazons response. Unfortunately, the email I received from Amazon on April 14, 2025, is a generic and automated message referring to listing reactivation.
  I must clarify that my BBB complaint is not about account or listing reactivation, but about the unjustified withholding of $6,430.81 USD from my seller account after terminating a supplier (Ecomsole) for providing unverifiable documentation.

  
  We submitted a formal legal dispute package, including proof of payment, termination letter, contracts, and communication logs. Amazon continues to ignore all documentation and responds only with standard messages.

  
  I remain open to providing any specific additional information Amazon may request but I respectfully ask that this case remain open until Amazon provides a human-reviewed response that directly addresses the financial dispute raised in the complaint.

  
  Attached are:

  
  The original legal dispute letter with supporting documentation.

  Dear BBB,
  
  I am writing to formally reject Amazons most recent response to this dispute, as it fails to acknowledge the extensive and documented efforts I made in good faith to comply with their requirements and to resolve the matter amicably.
  
  Amazon's decision to withhold $6,430.81 from my account under the pretext of 'inauthentic' products is both disproportionate and inconsistent with their own Funds Disbursement Eligibility Policy and the Amazon Services Business Solutions Agreement (BSA), which specifically outline:
  - The right of sellers to provide documentation to address authenticity concerns (Section 3, BSA)
  - The opportunity for a fair review of appeals and evidence (Section 10, BSA)
  - Resolution processes including arbitration (Section 18, BSA)
  
  My Amazon store was managed under contract by a third-party agency, ********, who handled sourcing, listing, fulfillment, and product distribution. We signed a formal agreement (Document 02). Between June 27 and July 25, 2024, we sold 75 units of ASIN B0CW85FZPY. There were only 4 returns, 1 of which was confirmed to be due to customer error. We received only one negative review and no A-to-Z Guarantee claims.
  
  When Amazon deactivated the account, ******** submitted a document (Document 06) claiming to be an invoice from the supplier, Bulk Buy America. Amazon rejected this document as unverifiable. Upon my own independent investigation, I contacted Bulk Buy America directly and they confirmed in writing (Document 07) that they never sold this product to Ecomsole.
  
  In a prior appeal, a different invoice and payment confirmation were mistakenly submitted to Amazon, corresponding to a separate ASIN (B084GZNKZQ) from the same brand (AG1), sold at a later date. At the time, I was unaware of the mix-up due to the similarity of products and overlapping fulfillment by the third-party agency. This confusion has now been clarified. I am now submitting for the first time the correct invoice and verified payment records that directly correspond to ASIN B0CW85FZPY, which was sold between June 27 and July 25, 2024. These documents were not reviewed or assessed by Amazon previously. I respectfully request a manual and good-faith reassessment of the case using this newly clarified and accurate documentation.
  
  As soon as I discovered the original issue, I terminated my relationship with Ecomsole (Document 10) and submitted newly issued invoices (Document 03) and payment receipts (Document 04) that correlate to the correct ASIN in question. All actions taken were in good faith, fully documented, and disclosed to Amazon. Nonetheless, Amazons responses remained automated and did not address or review the corrected evidence.
  
  Therefore, I respectfully request that the BBB support my request for the immediate release of the withheld funds. I remain open to resolving this dispute amicably but reserve my right to proceed with arbitration under Section 18 of the Amazon BSA.
  
  Sincerely,

  I am writing regarding the unexpected and unexplained suspension of my recently created AWS account associated with the email address ********************* I created this account for both academic research and legitimate business purposes.Timeline of events:- I recently created an AWS account to host a computer application I am developing as part of both academic research and business development- After careful research, I determined I needed a dedicated instance and paid over $400 upfront to reserve an instance for 6 months- Shortly after payment, I received a request for additional verification, which I promptly provided as requested (including mail verification and recent bank statements)- I have been responsive and cooperative with all ****************** at every stage- Despite my prompt compliance with all verification requests, I received an email stating AWS will not reinstate my account with absolutely no explanation provided- The email also indicated AWS would not engage in any further correspondence regarding this matter, cutting off all avenues for resolutionThis situation raises several serious concerns:1. I have paid $400+ for services that AWS is now refusing to provide2. No explanation whatsoever has been given for the account suspension3. *** is retaining my prepaid funds while denying service4. The refusal to engage in further communication prevents any resolution5. This disruption is impacting both my academic research timeline and business development6. Despite my good-faith efforts and prompt responses at every stage, AWS appears content to take my money while providing no service or explanation. I've discovered numerous similar cases where new *** customers have experienced sudden, unexplained account suspensions despite complying with all verification requests. These patterns suggest potential issues with ***'s automated fraud detection systems generating false positives,

  For 3 consecutive years (2022, 2023, 2024) Amazon Ring has been charging both my husband and me for our ring doorbell. We live in the same house, have only one ring doorbell but have unknowingly been getting duplicate invoices for the same service! It has only recently come to our attention that we have been overcharged for the last 3 years. When I contacted Ring, they said they are on an automated system and have 2 email addresses for our address and admitted we overpaid but said they could not give a refund for the overpayment.I have attached the 3 invoices with my email address and the 3 invoices from my husband's email for the 2022, 2023 and 2024 time period. I would like the $130 that I overpaid refunded to me. Thank you for your help.******* *****
