I don't know for sure but there probably is your problem in a nut shell i.e. too many sales sold too quickly and that's flagged your account up for scrutiny.

Opened an account 3 weeks ago passed verification did amazing well and did over £14,000 in sales

Opened an account 3 weeks ago passed verification did amazing well and did over £14,000 in sales now after less than a month they can't verify my identity and my account has been closed.. Ya right.

They're issuing so many A-Z refunds because they're actively telling customers their item may be lost ask for a refund now despite all items being delivered.. to top it off I can't access my account because I have frozen my card to stop them debiting my card for postage costs.. why would I allow that when they have 14k of our money.

I cheer all those buyers who buy amazon shipped products and claim it never arrived.. Karma is a b____h.

Morning

My prime and my standard delivery dates have been padded by 1 day.

This normally only happens when I have a warning for LDR or something like that. however I have had no warnings and there is no reason for Amazon to extend my delivery date by just 1 day. Removing my next day delivery option has had a massive impact on my sales which could cause me to stop trading.

does anyone understand why and how to get this reversed?

This is very good work. I have also been in contact with the Office of the Small Business Commissioner who claim there is nothing they can do because this is 'a contractual issue between Amazon and its sellers'. This is really like the Uber case. I think to get us some proper rights and protections we would have to be granted the legal status of employees, which is of course what we are, just ones without any of the rights of employees. I pointed out to OSBC that there is really no "contract", rather an ever expanding set of binding rules from Amazon, to which they can add or revise at any time they please.

We are now in a situation where our employer is forcing us to loan 100% of our salary to them interest free. If that's not an abuse of power that might interest the government then I don't know what is...

Trying to request an exclusion, or getting an answer from seller support is practically impossible, so the ONLY realistic thing you can do here is contact your local MP, and let them fight for you.

If enough MPs get messages from their constituents they may just may be forced to take an interest.

Just go to a search engine, type in "find my local MP" email them, explain what is going on, and that you would like them to help you, and for Government to forced Amazon to respond and ultimately stop this soul destroying practice of holding on to your funds for weeks on end.

No one on here is gonna help you, so who else can you speak to?

Also worth contacting any of the consumer help journalists in the tabloids, BBC Watchdog type tv programs, Martin Lewis, just anyone you can think of that has some power.

If enough of us contact our MPs and this gets brought up in Parliament, then MAYBE we can get some help.
