Help With Fraudulent Buyer
About 3 weeks ago I despatched a parcel to a buyer which contained 3 different shades of a cosmetic item.
I used the RM48 service, the item was not doorstep scanned, however, it’s clear it was delivered as a couple of days later, the buyer opened a Return request for one of the items, stating
NO LONGER NEEDED
I accepted the return, however, advised that the cost to return would be at the expense to the buyer.
Next day, the buyer opened a 2nd return request, for a 2nd item in the order, same reason
I accepted the return & again detailed at her expense.
A few days after that, I received a
request for a refund on the whole order
ITEM NOT RECEIVED
Interestingly the postal address is not a home address, but the address of a Post Office in
(my hometown) Glasgow.
The business is like a Londis
She either works there, or uses that address to receive her mail
I messaged the the buyer and told her she does have this order.
I reminded her of the 2 return requests she made, and then advised that I will not be refunding her, as she cannot claim non receipt for an order which she has
I’ve not heard back since.
I’ve been away so waited til I got home before phoning the Royal Mail to report her.
RM didn’t really want to take any details, the person I spoke to advised me it’s up to Amazon to deal with.
I raised a case with Amazon this afternoon, I didn’t expect to hear back so soon, but they’ve requested information from me which I don’t understand
Before I reply I thought I’d share it on this Forum
This is what Amazon ask for
After investigating your case i would like to let you know that you need to provide an image of the Buyer Fraud item. Please provide us the details to assist you further.
Surely they don’t mean a photo of the parcel?
Nobody photographs every singe order before despatch do they?
Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience

When they opened the ‘No Longer Needed’ Return did they give any further details in the Buyer comments?
Sometimes buyers do that because the item hasn’t arrived and they don’t need it to arrive anymore, but they don’t know how to request a refund for item not received.

Amazon has now replied asking for details of the buyer/seller messages
and the delivery details
all of which I already outlined in my original message
another case of SS not knowing their left hand from their right!

Actually we do and it’s been very useful. Not practical for the high volume boys & girls but really useful for us as a check that we sent what was ordered and a HUGE deterrent to some of our less valued customers who claim items have not been delivered when in fact they have.

Classic bead and tail situation. I know if I contact support and get rerouted to the New Delhi call centre, I’m screwed. The call centres there aren’t about service, but volume. I had a problem recently with some listing’s in the UK. The arrogant pr@@k told me to delete and recreate my listings! I’ve been selling oh Amazon since 2014, I know when someone is bailing out…
Luckily, a lovely lady contacted me about a month later. And she fixed it. No quibble.
My advice to you is,close your case. Contact customer support. Explain your situation. And ask what the best course of action… or you could name names on hellopeter! That works for me
