Hi Amazon Team and Fellow Sellers,

I’m reaching out for urgent help and a fair review.

We just had an A-to-Z Guarantee claim granted against us and it’s now impacting our Order Defect Rate (ODR) despite the fact that we did everything right as a seller.

Here’s what happened:

The buyer claimed the delivery driver stole the package (a serious accusation)

We asked for proof (such as a police report or any supporting evidence) but received no response from the buyer.

We tried multiple times to contact the customer to resolve this matter amicably, but they ignored us and instead went straight to Amazon.

Meanwhile, we opened a case with Amazon Support for guidance (Case ID: 11127978112) to ensure we were handling it correctly.

Despite our efforts and the customer’s refusal to engage, the claim was granted, and now our account health is at risk.

This feels deeply unfair. According to Amazon’s A-to-Z Guarantee Policy, sellers are supposed to be given a chance to resolve issues with the buyer but we were completely denied that chance.

We followed Amazon’s rules. We acted in good faith. And now we’re being penalised for doing exactly what we were supposed to do.

We’re asking Amazon to review this case thoroughly, including the full message history and our support case, and remove the ODR impact from this unfair claim.

If any Amazon staff see this, please help escalate the matter. And if any sellers have faced similar situations and found a way to appeal successfully, your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

We recently received "Inaccurate Categorization" policy violations. The crazy thing is the product in question was 100% created in the correct category but due to some necessary wording in the product title Amazon's wonderful automation misunderstood this wording and decided to change the category and then give us the violations. I have explained this several times in the appeal, but sadly as is often the case with Amazon the appeal gets denied in a matter of nano-seconds with no detail or further guidance. Can a mod please escalate this for me? I feel it would be dishonest of us to provide a plan of action to stop this happening again when in fact we did nothing wrong.

Hi I have been ignoring the alert to update my selling information and today saw my account put on hold until i uploaded the info required. I did this earlier today and submitted but nothing has changed. Tried submitting multiple times but still nothing. Spoke with seller help and they said i haven't yet pressed submit. Tried using different docs and still no change.

Does this normally take a while to be looked at or should it be pretty instant? After i click submit the next page says the information is being reviewed and the page will refresh in 30 seconds. After a minute or so it refreshes and prompts me to "review and update my selling on amazon account information". Back on the dashboard there is nothing to say my uploaded information is under review and there is no sign of any change after pressing submit except I get a performance notification which states "We are conducting a review of your Amazon Payments Account. We need additional information or documents to continue with your account verification. In accordance with regulations, you must complete an account verification process. Please go to the Identity Information page to provide the required information or documents:"

Am i doing something wrong? My account has been on hold all day and I can't see how to get it back active again. I have checked each document fits the criterea they have asked for and that all information provided matches.

Many thanks for any help that can be offered!

Anyone else had listings overwhelmed by Chinese sellers and sales dropped to zero.
