Hello everyone,

Today I would like to draw your attention to a crucial point that can strongly impact your business: A to Z complaints can be automatically accepted in favor of the buyer when the product description is not consistent with the item actually sold. I regularly observe cases of this type and would like to share this important information with you.

Common situations:

  • The photo shows a pack of 5 products but you are selling individually
  • The title says "Pack of 3" but you are selling a single item
  • The existing ASIN says "500kg" but your product is 500g
  • The description in English says 1 item but the one in French says 2 items

Consequences:

  • A to Z claim automatically accepted
  • Refund imposed
  • Impact on your seller metrics

Solutions:

  • DO NOT sell on an existing product sheet if the characteristics do not exactly match your product.
  • Create a new product variation with the right quantity
  • Check the translation of the product sheets in all languages available for the stores in which you sell.

Example:

You are selling a toothbrush, but the existing product sheet shows a pack of 4.

  • ❌ Do not use this product sheet as is
  • ✅ Create a new variation for selling individually

⚠️ Important point:

The consistency between your offer and the product sheet is your responsibility. Amazon will systematically give the customer the right if he receives a product different from what is indicated in the product sheet.

💡 Questions to the community:

Have you ever encountered this type of situation? How did you handle it? Do you find this content useful? 👍👎

Regards, Spencer

Amazon have denied my case.

Simply put - Sold a "Used - Very Good" product. Buyer left feedback:

"I ordered new product, they sent completely very old product. They are not trustable, please think before to buy"

This is completely false. The price difference should be obvious enough but we get many returns with this reason. I can deal with the returns but Amazon should AT LEAST remove negative feedback for an obvious buyer mistake. Is there anyway to sort this out?

Worst of both worlds- am I the only one?
by Seller_IoTlnMPtbYKcC

Amazon classes our product as non returnable (may be fair enough, as a food item, but goes out with 5 months shelf life minimum).

Product isn't allowed to be FBA as classed as a prohibited item

I NEVER get A to Z claim, I just get told when Amazon are refunding someone. I get it when it's someone panicking about a delivery missing, but I just had one refund that was bought mid November, and it's now 1 hour from March!

My SAFE - T claims are always rejected, mostly because I refuse to buy shipping through amazon.... even if they grant a refund 90 days over their '30 day policy'

I also can't claim anything for bad deliveries from courier because the orders are 'over 1 litre of liquids'.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong with amazon? Basically a customer has carte blanche of not sending back, not giving me any answers and amazon always giving them a refund without any involvement from me! It just seems so wrong!

Any help much appreciated. I know the courier one can be fixed by changing to one with liquids, but it's just too expensive.

Customer puts wrong address when claims A-Z
by Seller_8rbo7OO1nNrdt
Amazon replied

We have had a customer place an order to their old address, the day of delivery they message through Amazon to ask to change the address - this cannot be done 2 hours before delivery.

We explain to the customer nothing can be done and they will have to go to the old address to reclaim the item - they refuse and open an A-Z claim which amazon grant.

We appealed the A-Z claim showing amazon messages where the customer has asked to change address etc and also then delivery confirmation photos - amazon rejected the appeal and upheld the full refund to the customer.

The customer then leaves us a negative feedback stating 'not received', I request to amazon that it be removed and again they refuse as its not against amazon policy.

Any mods on here with any sense able to sort this out for me?

Hi @Seller_j9Bd91CW3ZVpr

We have three more cases that require review. Once again, it appears that Feedback Manager is sending automated responses without properly assessing our cases. We receive a response within minutes, which strongly suggests an AI-driven system that does not thoroughly check the details. As a result, our seller performance is being unfairly impacted.

According to Amazon's feedback guidelines, feedback should accurately reflect the buyer's experience with the seller. However, in these cases, the feedback appears to be factually incorrect and is unfairly affecting our metrics.

Case: 10823132682 (Order: 203-0855620-3377927)

We strongly believe this is an attempt by another seller to harm our business. All our orders are packed under camera surveillance and logged into our system as proof, which we can provide if needed.

This buyer has previously purchased the same item and left negative feedback under similar circumstances. We suspect he intentionally damaged the item or that it was damaged during shipping.

Despite providing photographic proof to the customer, he has left negative feedback again.

We request a solution to block this buyer, as we have never been able to satisfy him, and he immediately leaves negative feedback.

In a previous case, you reviewed this buyer’s feedback history but could not remove an older feedback because it was beyond the 3-month window.

Case: 10785690932 (Order: 205-3068866-8910752)

The customer’s feedback is entirely inaccurate. His original delivery date was Saturday, but due to an Evri issue, it was delivered on Monday.

In his feedback, he claims that Amazon displayed incorrect tracking information. As we all know, Amazon sometimes shows delayed or lost status even when parcels have already been delivered.

The customer also mentioned that the delivery would be delayed by five additional days, which is completely false.

Based on Amazon’s feedback policy, all feedback should reflect the true experience between the seller and buyer. Given that the negative feedback is based on misleading information, we request its removal.

Case: 10823189062 (Order: 203-8510370-7204313)

In this case, the delivery was indeed late by three days. However, we explained the situation to the customer, and she agreed to remove the feedback but does not know how to do so.

If you review our message history, you will see her confirmation. Could you assist in guiding her through the removal process?

We appreciate your prompt attention to these cases, as they are unfairly affecting our seller performance.

Best regards,

Yet again Amazon have granted an A-Z and refunded the customer even though the item has been delivered, I appealed with the proof and still they have taken the money from me.

Amazon Safe-T claim denied.
by Seller_qcjVSJtmMNXVq
Amazon replied

So firstly, Happy new year to you all!

Recently I have had an amazon Safe-T claim denied after following amazons own instructions to the letter.

A customer bought an item from me and after a month the customer opened a return and it was auto accepted by amazon.

Upon receiving the return it was very clear the user had installed this incorrectly (computer part) as the PCB was snapped off and certainly not how it was sent otherwise there would have been alot of noise.

I contacted seller support on how to best handle this situation as if I don't accept a refund or give a partial refund then A-Z claims order defects etc.

The seller support rep instructed me to open a Safe-T claim. I went through the process by which time amazon had already refunded the customer in full.

The claim asked me to provide pictures of the damaged item to which I did and it is clear the part is broken beyond repair or use making the value of the item £0

After a day or so the Safe-T department asked me to provide a picture of the returned package label to which I also did. After another day or so I get claim denied without an actual reason, I have the option to appeal but I have no idea what the actual reason the Safe-T claim was denied for, what is the point of this service if they are just going to deny every claim. I am now £156. down, down the item of the broken item and amazon are doing nothing... It's getting beyond a joke on here with the constant stream of scammers and fraudsters lack of seller support etc. I am getting sick and tired of being exploited on here and looking at other forum posts others are too.

@Seller_XUNeUuvrQDpgP @Seller_Huz6FT08OxHAR

Can either of you take a look into this please?

This week a customer was refunded for an FBA order. Now the same buyer is buying the same item from me again, this time via FBM (because her refunded order has not been returned to FBA and I guess it never will). I sent her a message why she is doing this but did not (yet) get an answer. Should I cancel this order, because for me it seems more than fishy?

We again encountered a problem with the Automated Feedback Removal Manager.

The buyer's feedback in its entirety, : item was posted on time with tracking details and buyer misused the feedback power by leaving us a negative feedback asking for a full refund and mentioned in the feedback if we proceed the refund they will make a good review after.

refund was proceeded as demanded as we do value our customer and we inform a customer many times that your refund has been proceed as demanded plz change your feedback as it was promised but no reply since.

we raised the case with feedback removal team as we have all the evidence as customer clearly mentioned that he will change the feedback after refund we have massages on amazon with customer as we tired to chased up but no reply on purpose as customer misused the feedback power which against amazon policy to get the money back and It should have been very clear to the "Feedback Removal Manager" that the feedback should be removed.

But they rejected my request to appeal in a matter of seconds!

This is clearly a issue as others have had same issue

And there was no way for me to reopen the case can any of the moderators help?

feedback date 19/02/2025 1

order id 202-8760862-7762719

Case ID 10836562152

i am new seller working very hard to provide best service but if customer gonna abuse feedback power just to get money back on purpose even after we have all the evidence even after

if there is no proper help from amazon the what seller can do i have all the evidence i hope amazon can help me out

Moderators - Please could any one of you kindly assist to escalate this case for further review? Thank you @Seller_mIRnuhdx7l5sN @Seller_DNQGSsdC7DccM @Seller_gAhPNiLrkfTcr @Seller_Huz6FT08OxHAR

Personal information
by Seller_xYBW6o06hmGqz

I know it against policies to ask for personel info from buyers but what if we have to send a vedio to buyer. So can we ask for buyer whatsapp number so we can send them assembly vedio for the item they purchased from us.

We’ve been experiencing a surge in unjustified refunds from Amazon to customers, as well as repeated SAFE-T claim rejections for situations that seem clearly invalid. Below are two examples of what seems like unacceptable decisions, especially given the amounts involved:

1-Prime Orders & DPD Late Delivery;

We routinely ship Prime orders on Sundays using Buy Shipping DPD, but one Sunday DPD failed to show up despite our best efforts (including multiple phone calls). They later wrote and accepted their fault.

One parcel in these , worth £320, was delivered a day late as a result, and all tracking evidence was perfect. The customer claimed non-receipt three days later and was refunded in full.

We raised a SAFE-T claim based on solid delivery evidence, but it was rejected due to the one-day delay although, customer claim was for none receipt. Despite two appeals, they stand by their decision.

Additionally, we can’t claim compensation from DPD as they provided proof of delivery.

2- Amazon EU SRL Orders & Unrecognised Order IDs;

A year and a half ago, we shipped multiple Prime orders from Amazon EU SRL with correct end customer delivery details and delivered promptly. However, we began receiving refunds to customers, but the order IDs didn’t match any records in our system.

After extensive communication, it became clear that these were Amazon’s own orders to customers, but the system still wouldn’t recognise the IDs.

SAFE-T claims were automatically rejected as system can't recognise, and the issue remains unresolved even after over a year and hundreds of pounds involved.

Has anyone else faced similar issues? Any suggestions on how to escalate or get help from the mods?
