Dear Amazon Seller Performance Team,
I am writing to formally report suspected coordinated refund abuse activity affecting my product listing and seller account.
Historically, my product's refund rate has remained between approximately 5% and 7%, which is consistent with normal customer behavior for this product category. However, during a recent period, I experienced an unusually high concentration of refunds that differs significantly from my historical performance and normal business activity.
After reviewing the affected orders, I identified several concerning patterns that suggest potential coordinated activity rather than independent customer behavior.
The attached refund report contains 245 refund records and shows numerous buyer accounts placing multiple orders and subsequently requesting refunds within a short timeframe. Several customers appear repeatedly throughout the report, with some accounts refunding five to ten separate orders. Examples include customers such as Adekunke Ademola, Adekunle Ademola, OLUTOLA ADESIYAN, Oluwatosin, and others who appear across multiple refunded orders.
Additionally, I identified instances where multiple buyer accounts used the same delivery address while placing separate orders that were later refunded. This pattern appears inconsistent with normal independent customer purchasing behavior and raises concerns regarding linked buyer accounts.
Based on the evidence available to me, I am concerned that these refunds may be connected to coordinated abusive activity involving linked buyer accounts.
I respectfully request that Amazon:
1. Investigate the attached orders and buyer accounts for potential refund abuse.
2. Review whether the affected buyer accounts are linked through shared delivery addresses or other account relationships.
3. Review the unusually high concentration of refunds associated with these accounts.
4. Determine whether these activities violate Amazon policies regarding abuse of the marketplace.
5. Restore any seller metrics negatively impacted if abusive activity is confirmed.
I understand that Amazon has access to account relationship data that is not available to sellers. Therefore, I respectfully request a thorough investigation of these accounts and transactions.
Thank you for your time and assistance. I appreciate Amazon's efforts to maintain a fair marketplace for both customers and sellers, and I look forward to your response.
Kind regards,
