      Dear BBB.org Team, I decided to contact you since *** exhausted all attempts to solve my issue on the account level. The issue is, Amazon deactivated my selling account since they found it related to another sellers account which violated Amazon policies. I submitted three Plans of action where I explained how this relation could happen and why my Amazon account is a separate business and I never owned another account. Also, along with the last appeal I provided a document (a bank statement) showing that the mean of connection between accounts was changed and now my account is no longer connected with another one. However, Amazon consists that accounts are still connected. I double-checked all other means of connection and couldnt find anything else. I lost hope to prove to Amazon that my business is separate and that I never created another account. They dont take into consideration my explanations. Please, escalate my issue to a higher level. I attach my last Plan of action with the document.

      Hello Dear ****** Team. Before contacting you here, I submitted complaint ID *********** via Seller Central report abuse tool, but no action was taken. I am escalating the complaint against seller id: ************** asins B0BD77SGHV and B0BLYYNN2X. This Chinese Seller continuously manipulates (hacking) the Amazon system by launching "Best Deals" every week. Which is not available for other sellers. Their malicious services are available on the black market to get "Best Deal" every week by adding different asins in Seller Central to hack the Amazon deals system and maliciously get unlimited deals. Please investigate seller id: ****************, who hacks the system and bypasses Amazon rules by launching deals on their asins. They violate the code of conduct, and this is unfair competition. We believe that due to their abusive history on Amazon these sellers must be suspended. Kind regards ******************

      Hello BBB,I am writing to you regarding a review left by a consumer "echodawn" on my product B0BTG2R9JC, which contains defamation and untrue information about the product. The review link: ***************************************************************** 1) The consumer claims that the product does not work for appetite control, but there are no statements on the product page claiming that our product controls appetite. This accusation misleads our ************ The consumer criticizes the price of the product. This is product depreciation. Discussing the price is directly prohibited by Amazon policies. Our product has a fair price, and comparing it with a grocery category product is unfair.3) The statement "I don't believe it has any of the ingredients listed, and there is no benefit to ingesting this product" is also false information about the composition. Our product has a detailed description, and we attach a live photo of the product showing its complete composition. It seems that the consumer has not even tried our product but wrote their review. As a result, their purchasing experience cannot be objective. According to Amazon policies, a buyer should base their review on their personal experience with the product.4) Most importantly, at the end of their comment, the buyer calls our gummies a scam, which completely destroys trust in our product and brand. This is defamation. We do not conceal any facts about our product, and the buyer baselessly defamed our product. This is not only prohibited by Amazon policies, but also by US defamation laws.We ask the BBB team to help us remove this unfair review of our product.Sincerely,nutriyum Store.

      I have an unresolved dispute with Amazon because they have failed to satisfactorily resolve my complaint. Amazon has become the face of INFERIOR SERVICE and I will have none of it. This dispute is regarding Order # ***-4570696-1730648. I enrolled in a one week trial offer for Prime for $1.99, and, placed an order. On 4/5/23 and 4/6/23, respectively, *** failed to make a delivery attempt, as required. According to *** records, two items were delivered, but the precise location is UNKNOWN. It has become increasingly clear that *** is refusing to deliver my packages because they do not want to climb the stairs to the third floor. *** drivers are doing a great disservice to the public when they refuse to do their job.As of today, I am not in possession of both orders. I notified Amazon about the problem and I am OFFENDED by the lack of courteous professionalism that was displayed in an email response by one of their INCOMPETENT customer service representatives. He failed to provide helpful help. No action was taken by the *** to investigate the missing packages and *** refusal to deliver my packages to my RESIDENCE. I have canceled the Prime trial offer for $1.99 and will not be extending the membership due to the negative experience. The focus should be on the customer. I am not impressed with *********************** and *** highly nauseating marketplace conduct.. I deserve better. Continued poor treatment of customers is the reason why businesses fail. I am troubled that Amazon and *** are not considering the impact of poor service on their loyal customers. It is this poor service that has prompted my decision to resume shopping at brick and mortar stores. Thank you.

We also recommend that you consider selecting a more secure shipping address, such as your workplace or an Amazon Hub Locker, in the future to avoid further problems. We recommend that you consider selecting a more secure shipping address, such as your workplace or an Amazon Hub Locker, in the future to avoid further problems.

      At this time, Amazon isn't 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.

      I have bought a pool that initially arrived with damages on the box, I have received a discount on the item (instead of returning it) I was satisfied with that. We did not like the pool so we decided to return it. We have requested a return on March 15 ish - I am not 100% sure of the date , but since the request, I had 3 return attempts scheduled through Amazon- each time I had to request day off work to be able to sit in the house and wait for them to pick up this item as I dont trust to leave the item at the gate. With each phone or chat with Amazon, I get the same resolution, do not worry we can schedule another pick up as if I have nothing else to do other than wait at home for Amazon to pick up the item. I was told that the only thing that they can do is keep scheduling another pick up until the pick up will be successful (on my time and money) I was told that I cant take the item to *** because its out of the box and it will require multiple boxes - although 2 days prior, another representative told me that it would be an option but I should wait to see if they will pick up my item via this company. I spoke with one manager who was also unable to do much other than offer a gift card for the inconvenience and another scheduled date for pick up. Of course, nobody showed up. I am now waiting for my pick up AGAIN and hoping for the best, I regret being a prime customer for sooo many years with such terrible customer service experience this time around. I know that I will put my money elsewhere in the future.. and perhaps stick with ordering smaller items online. Cancelling my prime membership as well.

      On March 24th, I purchased 2 , $250.00 gift cards , totaling $500. I work nights so I get home early am. I saw when I got up around 11 am on March 25th, I had a message saying my gift cards were delivered. I went outside and saw nothing. I looked at the email and it showed a picture of a fairly large package, not consistent with a gift card. I immediately called Amazon and reported it was not there. I had even asked to please cancel the card because there was no package. I was told that my package had been mismarked and the driver had picked up that package and brought it to another address because it WAS NOT my package and to be patient and if it didn't get delivere4d by Monday night to call again. Since it takes only a few hours to usually deliver gift cards, I called back the next day. I was told that someone had activated one of the gift cards and they asked me if I knew this person!! They told me their first and last name. Why would someone do this? That does not seem legal. I did not know them but what if I did? I would have found them and called the police or wanted to hurt them for stealing . They said it was only a small amount. I asked AGAIN, to please cancel the cards and replace mine. They said there was an investigation now and that department would contact me by email within 24 hours. Everyday I call , email or chat. No one will refund my money or replace the gift cards or let me speak to some supervisor. When I found out someone had my cards, I cancelled my credit card as well . I have done more than my due diligence to resolve this. No one has ever sent me back a resolution by email or otherwise. I am enclosing my correspondence . I have since bought 2 more cards and they came with no problem but I never got my $500 dollars back . I have made 43 purchases already this month. Last year I had a gift card not arrive. We immediately cancelled it and resent another. The first ones were cancelled immediately like these should have been. Thank you

      In December 2022 we bought curtains for our house for several rooms. We had to send a couple of the curtains back to Amazon. I called to get a code to take it to **** Never heard anything more about it. In the mean time my Amazon store card was compromised and they sent me a new one. Dont know the date I got it. Today April 9 I get an email saying they recharged my cc for $48.57. I have called them 4 times tonight and all give me the same runaround. They said only one pair was in the box so they are recharging me. There is no way to get any information because the old Amazon card is no longer so I can not get any invoices. I only have the ones showing with the new Amazon card. They are so STUPID about it. I have no way to look it up because I dont have have the number for the cc. Then they said we can not help you because its over 50 days. Well in December there was time to look it up and I would of had the Amazon card. There is literally no one you an talk to. I want my $48.57 back on my card when I figure out which card. They stole my money. I was not given the time to check this out. So convenient its over 60 days so they KEEP OR STOLE MY MONEY. I will go as high as I can to find Someone to see what they have done. After I look up all my Mastercards and I tell them this I hope they will stop it. They did not give me the 60 days to research this.

      Hello. my amazon account ********************* was locked because amazon detected "suspicious activity" and asked me to upload documents showing i was the true owner of the account. I did so. After 24 hours amazon said they needed more info and would email me as to what they needed. They never did. I have been a loyal amazon prime member for many years and did nothing wrong. Please have amazon re-open my account. I did absolutely nothing wrong. Thank you.

      I am rejecting this response because: I followed all of Amazon's instructions as to how to regain access my account down to the letter, but they still have not granted access to my account. I am forced to conclude that this is a discriminatory action because Amazon determined that I am LGBTQ because I have previously ordered items from their site that indicate that i have this orientation. I will not be discriminated against because I am part of the already marginalized LGBTQ community. Open my account immediately; I have done nothing wrong.

      Sincerely,

      I purchased a sofa and loveseat from a company named LoLado via Amazon. The furniture was cheaply made and given there is a 30 day [delivered 4/7] return/refund policy, I requested, through Amazon, a prepaid return label. I received a refund from the seller of only $48.60 and was charged a restocking fee. All 4 boxes are in my garage.This refund is for the following item(s): Item: Homtique Sofa Set for Living Room 2 Piece, Modern Velvet Loveseat Sofa Set Upholstered Button Tufted Nailhead Trimming Rolled Arm and Metal Legs, Velv Quantity: 1 ASIN: B0BJ7196ZY Reason for refund: Customer return Here's the breakdown of your refund for this item: Item Refund: $899.99 Item Tax Refund: $72.00 Restocking Fee Refund Deduction: ($923.39 Per Amazon's policy on their website, if the furniture was returned AFTER 30 days, I would receive 80% of the purchase price. After bringing these issues up via email to Amazon, an associate sent me the following Hello,We are writing to inform you that we reviewed your account for order activity details and we found that you have claimed refunds because you reported to have experienced issues with your orders.

      Attached is a video of the ******************** in which the sofa and loveseat were donated. The manager shared a video via ******** regarding a sale they're having.

       

      After Amazon closed the complaint, we decided to cut our losses vs. spending more money to ship out the 4 boxes via USPS.

       

      However this complaint/issue with LoLado and Amazon turns out for **, others need to know for their protection. 

       

      Please be patient when watching the video, the furniture, still in the boxes, can be seen quite clearly.

      * The below messages will show LoLado planned to charge a $938.00 restocking fee.

      * Amazon sided with the seller even given the outrageous restocking fee.

      * LoLado stated in several messages they attempted to call and try to refund a bit more money, but that didn't happen.  They did call and try to intimidate me about expecting a refund and needing an accurate return address.

      We only unpacked the sofa and have already packed it back up and we certainly didn't take any pictures. We knew straight away the product was cheaply made and definitely not as described. We expect a full refund as well as a prepaid return label. We also understand the items are a bit heavy, but if you, as the seller, aren't willing to insure the products you send out are quality products expect customers to be unhappy and return the furniture. Unless, this is some sort of scam where you send out cheap products and make it so difficult and expensive to return the items, the customer gives up and allows you, the seller, off the hook and keeps the merchandise. I can assure you, that won't be the case with **! ********************************* *****************************************************************************************************

      Apr 24, 2023 5:22 PM

      The seller is attempting to negotiate a refund because they know, even though Amazon sided with LoLado, I was sent cheaply made merchandise and was given an incorrect return address to return the sofa and loveseat.

      Apr 25, 2023 9:11 AM

      I want to put this mess behind me and move forward. LoLado knows they provided a nonexistent return address and the merchandise would be returned to my home address. They also know the telephone number I provided is accurate, given it was used for delivery purposes. LoLado also knows they sent out cheaply made merchandise with defects. I was the victim of a scam, but Amazon decided to rule in LoLado's favor. I lost $1,069.00 and as stated in a previous message, the items were donated to a local charity- the name, address and telephone number was also provided. Hopefully, someone will purchase the items that's skilled in furniture repair. Again, I won't be shopping on Amazon anymore and am tired of being harassed by LoLado.Apr 26, 2023 9:40 AM

We cannot expect a seller to issue a refund for or replace an item that a buyer will not return. If the item was returned but not delivered to seller, we need return tracking number/return shipping receipt for further review.

      I am rejecting this response because an attempt was made to send the items back to the seller via ***** but returned to me stating they were deemed UNDELIVERABLE. **** stated either the address was nonexistent or it was a P.O. box on a rural route. Attached, please find a return address on the shipping label indicating LoLado's actual return address is in ******* vs. **********. 

      I also provided BBB with a ******** link to the charity in which the items were eventually donated. All four boxes are clearly visible. LoLado sent out cheaply made junk and we definitely didn't want to it in our home, not even for the cat room for which it was intended. 

      At this point, I feel Amazon has been protecting LoLado for some reason. Amazon representatives have sent out bizarre messages suggesting arefund of $97.72 was denied. It shows how clueless and unprofessional Amazon has become. Prior to that LoLado refunded our account $48.00. What? It has been a crazy ride dealing with Amazon and LoLado!

I was told to dispose of the item, by amazon. The following days i was being told that my refund was on the way. They changed their mind and now they refuse to give me the promised refund Order id number is *******************

      Hi! Amazon said they didn't know what order i was talking about, so I'm submitting the order id and payment confirmation. I previously submitted the conversation i had with amazon, in which they said that i would get the refund and that i could dispose of the item, even though I offered to return it. So i did as they said. Then after several inquiries about the refund, they changed their mind. That's not okay. I was given clear instructions by amazon, and i followed their instructions, as I've been doing for years. I'm a loyal customer and I always do as I'm told. This was a mistake by amazon, so amazon needs to be responsible for their mistakes. Not make the client pay for it. 

      I also am submitting Amazon admitting it was their fault. I also have a couple of recorded conversations with Amazon ***************** in which they also admit that it was their fault. Would you like me to send those recordings too?

      Hello,

      Ive thoroughly researched this for you, and can see that the information provided to you on March 5, 2023 8:41 AM is the best solution available.

      We understand that you've advised you've already disposed of the item(s). This information was incorrect and we have already taken appropriate action on the representative who provided this false information. It is a high value item and return is mandatory for us to investigate and issue the refund.

      We wont be able to provide a replacement or refund for this order unless we receive the original item[s] back.

      I am rejecting this response because:

      This is Amazon's mistake. Amazon gave the order to dispose of the item. If amazon said that, Amazon has to pay for their mistake. Not the consumer. Since the consumer made zero mistakes. 

      Sincerely,
