Unjustified ODR Impact Due to Resolved A-to-Z Claims – Requesting Review

Hello Amazon Community Team,

I am a seller on Amazon, and I am reaching out regarding a serious concern about account health of Zeyel777 Store. My Order Defect Rate (ODR) has increased significantly due to two recent A-to-Z Guarantee claims — both of which I believe were handled appropriately from my side.

In both cases (702-2337356-7737818 and 702-0399563-0433848):

- The customers requested returns.

- I accepted the returns promptly and provided prepaid return labels.

- Even though the items were never returned to my warehouse, I issued full refunds proactively to ensure customer satisfaction.

Despite this, both claims were granted in favor of the buyers and counted negatively against my ODR. As a result, my account health is now at risk, and my ability to sell is severely affected — even though I followed Amazon’s policies and acted in good faith.

I kindly ask:

- For Amazon to review this process more fairly in such cases.

- That resolved issues where a refund is issued without item return be evaluated with nuance.

- That these A-to-Z cases not impact ODR when the seller takes all proper steps.

This is not only discouraging but also feels unjust as a professional seller committed to Amazon’s customer service standards.

@Xander_Amazon, @Joey_Amazon, @Nano_Amazon Your guidance or escalation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and support.

Best regards,

Zeyel777

I assume you are selling FBM and not FBA. Check to see that the items were shipped by the shipping date supplied. Also check to see if they were delivered by the delivery date supplied. If either of these did not happen that is why your ODR was hit even though you granted the refund.
