My order was unfairly refunded by Amazon. (Order #113-4534286-7903429 which purchased on March 13, 2025), as we have neither received the returned product nor obtained sufficient evidence from the buyer to validate their claim. Below is a detailed timeline of the issue:

Key Facts:

1. Return Process Initiation (April 23, 2025):

We approved the buyer’s refund request and promptly sent our return policy, requiring them to submit packaging photos to generate a return label (mandatory for freight carriers).

No response or photos were provided, stalling the return process.

2. Claim Filed (May 3, 2025):

Due to the buyer’s inaction, a claim was initiated. We re-sent the policy on May 5 (after the weekend), urging cooperation. Again, no response.

3. Amazon’s Unilateral Refund (May 8, 2025):

Despite never receiving the product, Amazon refunded the buyer $2,196.35 without our consent.

Our scheduled carrier was rejected by the buyer during pickup attempts. The pickup failed, and I was charged an $89 no-show fee

4. Repeated Follow-ups (May 10–21, 2025):

Four emails were sent to the buyer requesting return updates. All were ignored.

The buyer only provided text complaints but no proof (photos/videos) of the alleged product issue.

I strongly suspect this is a premeditated fraudulent order.: The buyer’s refusal to cooperate, lack of evidence to support what they reported, and rejection of pickup strongly suggest misuse of Amazon’s return policy.

I'm appalled that Amazon issued a full $2,196.35 refund based solely on the buyer's unsubstantiated claim without requiring return of the merchandise This constitutes blatant buyer favoritism and a clear violation of Amazon's refund policy by their claims team. The magnitude of this loss is devastating, and I'm at a loss for how to recover these damages or prevent future occurrences. The complete disregard for seller protection makes operating a business on this platform unbearably difficult.

No Access to A + content
by Seller_yZxxYj7NXjIv9
Amazon replied

Hi

We have no access to A + content tools in Seller Central. When we open the page we only see links to the help page and to brand registry support. We are registered as a brand already We cannot even create basic A+ content which is available to all sellers regardless of their brand status. I opened a case 3 weeks ago which is still being investigated but I thought I'd ask if anybody else has come across this and how did they get it fixed?

Thanks

Andy

My products have been detected as violating Title II of the Clean Air Act. However, catalytic converters can be sold normally on Amazon. You can see that many sellers are selling such products.

I have reviewed the relevant regulations of the Clean Air Act. Catalytic converters do not belong to the products that are intended to defeat, bypass or shut down emission control devices, and they are allowed to be sold normally on Amazon. Moreover, we have the EPA certification. I sent an email to contact the Amazon platform. They asked me to provide the CARB EO number of the products. But it is stated in the product description that the products are prohibited from being sold in California, our products will not be sold in California.

They also asked me to provide more product photos. I did as required, but it didn't work. I feel like I'm chatting with a robot by email. The relevant team doesn't seem to check the information I provided. I don't know what else I can do.

I hope that the Amazon sales support team can help me solve this problem.

Urgent. Renewed listing inactive
by Seller_gYZmh1coEmMEx
Amazon replied

We are approved and have been selling under Amazon Renewed program for well over three years. Its two weeks now that all our listings were deactivated and reaching seller support and account health support has been of no use. We only sell through FBA and now are getting notifications to remove our inventory. Our account health rating is very good and there are no outstanding issues.

I sell a brand that I get from an authorized wholesaler who is authorized to provide inventory to resellers. I have submitted the legitimate, paid invoice from a recent restock that meets all Amazon requirements - recent, unaltered, commercial invoice, 100+ units, etc. They have been repeatedly rejecting it for a month with no explanation. I finally got an explanation today that says:

-- The provided documentation cannot be accepted due to potential document alterations identified in our verification process. To validate product legitimacy, submit authentic and unaltered documents.

This is not true. It is directly from the wholesaler. It's the paid commercial invoice they sent me as a PDF. They clearly have not contacted the wholesaler to verify. I'm in a doom loop. I've been selling this brand for years, and I always buy from this authorized wholesaler. What else can I do? Do I need to print it out and send a picture? They are not doing reasonable due diligence. Also, Amazon sells this product so they are profiting from blocking me. They are also accusing me of fraud. What the heck?

Why does Amazon do this?
by Seller_DRlI0INpcIpwp

Had an order for a large shredder. FBM delivered in 2 parts. After the first part was delivered, the customer got confused about where the rest of the unit was and called Amazon Customer Service, asking where the other part was. Amazon offered them a full refund and said that they can just keep the item. Great... but what about the small business on the other side of that transaction? Now I am out $2,000, Safe-T claim gets auto-denied by AI with nonsensical responses. Proof of delivery, customer acknowledged receipt, doesn't matter.

What logic is this? How do other sellers sustain their business if big hits like this can come with any order?

Hello Amazon Seller Community and Amazon Support,

We are the owners of Creative Picture Frames, and we are currently the target of an organized and repeated return scam that is hurting our business and damaging our brand across multiple platforms.

🔍 Here's what's happening:

A bad actor is stealing our Amazon listings — product titles, images, and descriptions — and reposting them on Walmart, Kmart, UBuy, and other marketplaces, marking them up significantly.

They then place a one-time order on Amazon as a buyer, using a new account each time.

After the product is delivered, they claim it’s “inaccurate,” initiate a return, and send back a small notepad (we've received multiple — same type, different colors).

Amazon processes a full refund, and the scammer pockets the price difference they charged on the other sites — while we lose both product and money.

📦 We have photo evidence of:

Multiple fake returns involving the exact same style of notepad.

A clear pattern of abuse tied to fraudulent listings and unauthorized resellers misrepresenting our brand.

📢 What we’re doing:

We are now issuing Cease and Desist letters to all sellers misusing our brand Creative Picture Frames across Walmart and other marketplaces.

We're filing SAFE-T claims and have contacted support multiple times — but the abuse continues.

❗ AMAZON, we urgently need:

An investigation into the buyer accounts involved in these returns.

Support identifying and blocking coordinated return abusers.

Stronger protections for brands facing listing theft and fake returns.

And most importantly: MORE CONTROL over return approvals and inspections before refunds are processed.

This is not an isolated issue.

This is a scam model targeting legitimate Amazon sellers and making a profit by exploiting your return system and your sellers’ hard work.

We are asking for real action — not copy-paste responses. If this can happen to us, it can happen to any small business selling here.

Please help us stop this.

We are requesting support from a Community Manager to escalate an unresolved issue. After multiple interactions with Account Health Support and the Seller Performance Team, we are still unable to get proper resolution or consistent guidance for an appeal related to a product we manufacture.

We are a food-grade facility that manufactures all products in-house under our own USDA Certified Organic and food-grade SOPs. We do not rely on third-party vendors or resellers. As such, when Account Health requested invoices for raw materials, we explain that we cannot provide invoices for agricultural inputs grown ourselves. However, we did provide production logs, shipping records, and food-grade licensing documentation, CofAs & lab results, as well as screenshots from Voice of the Customer and historical shipment data. These materials have successfully supported past appeals.

Summary of Steps Taken:

1. Reviewed VOC and tracked the issue to a single FBA order - Only one return in the past 90 days made it easy to find.

2. Confirmed with Amazon via Bin Check (Case ID: 17723993111):

- All inventory is well within best-by date (2026 and 2027).

- No expired product present.

- Units are clearly labeled with Best By dates.

3. Conducted internal review of all FBA and DTC shipments for the past 12 months, provided in appeal in PDF format:

- All products shipped had 12+ months of shelf life at time of purchase.

Updated product labeling:

- Now includes Best By Date and Date of Manufacture (DOM) clearly printed per our SOP. Photos provided. Suggestion from Account Health to include DOM & BEST BY.

4. Submitted three separate appeals, all denied despite following Account Health recommendations for appeal selection and providing documentation.

Relevant Case IDs:

17750022281

17751558031

17736876641

17749852101

Bin Check Case ID:

17723993111

We are repeatedly told by Account Health that “bin checks are no longer acceptable” despite the fact that we are not using the bin check as the basis of our appeal, but rather as supporting documentation alongside our production and compliance records. The continued denial of appeals without clarification is preventing us from properly defending our account standing.

Request:

We respectfully request that this case be escalated to a Community Manager or category-level escalation contact who can assist us in resolving this issue. We have followed all protocol, submitted every document requested, and still face roadblocks due to lack of internal coordination or case-level context.

This situation impacts not only our listing, but also the integrity of Amazon’s marketplace as it relates to small-scale, certified food producers.

Thank you for your time and support.

One of our asin brand has been hijacked again. We didn't register that brand. The brand hijacker is operating on multiple sites that are maliciously modifying the branding of our Asin. We opened a branding support case, and the support team for that case had originally fixed the brand hijacking issue for all of our sites. However, the hijacker hijacked the Amazon.fr site and Amazon.it site again within a day. Case hasn't had a new process in days. Please help with the case process.

Case id: 17580916551

@Seller_t9kvdr2yixQej@Seller_guPeMXBrBxqyU

1.Please help us continue to fix the Amazon.fr site and Amazon.it site branding.

2. Please take action against the hijacker. Based on our experience with multiple hijacked brands, the hijacker always hijacks the brand again after the Amazon support team helps us fix the brand issue, as in this case.

Hi,

I am reaching out regarding an issue on the Legal Entity page of my account. Currently, it only displays my personal primary contact information, and there is no option available to add or update my business details.

I have already opened a case with Amazon support, but have not received a resolution so far. I would appreciate guidance on how to properly display my business information alongside my personal details on the Legal Entity page.

Please advise on the necessary steps to resolve this issue.
