Customer opened a return and has returned a different item (Serial numbers do not match)

What should I do in this situation. If I notify the customer then I can imagine they will panic and open A-Z claims etc. So far I have opened a case only. Some advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Does it look like they have possibly returned their own older item ? - this is a fairly common scam - a switch. Take photos as proof, message the customer with your evidence that they have not returned the correct item that you sent, and see how they respond. It's unlikely that Seller Support will be much use !!

thanks for the advice, this is what i usually do but I’m dreading the A-Z case. Ive opened a ticket with SS just so there is a log of the whole thing.

@Simon_Amazon Can you take a look at this please the customer has opened an A-Z claim and won even though I have provided Amazon with the information proving the buyer has returned a different item. Can someone at amazon actually do their job and stop letting the bots automate all A-Z cases. Things like this destroy sellers accounts so unnecessarily an I do not have the energy for another lengthy battle with amazon over what should be an open and shut case.

Thank you @Seller_qcjVSJtmMNXVq,

I checked and it looks like the other team is evaluating the case.

If we don´t hear anything by Thursday, I will send it to another team.

Let´s stay in touch.

Regards, Spencer
