Buyer Return Fraud - FBA Returns
Hello,
Could you please look into case ID 16702618611
A customer has placed repeated orders from me through FBA, returned each one (or has a return authorized), and has another pending order from me. This is a total of over $1,000 of merchandise (plus another $400 pending). These are blatantly fraudulent returns, and there's no recourse stopping this customer from continuing to order and then returning.
Thanks

Customer has now been refunded for another order:
701-3931137-8833848 ($399.98)
Has placed 2 more orders which will undoubtedly be returned as well:
701-1574504-3436233 ($439.97)
701-7739213-2781033 ($147.98)
This is over $2,000 worth of products now in 7 different orders. He returns every single order for one reason or another, and there's nothing that amazon can do? I have reported him through the report abuse function, but it's useless. Can a mod please look at this? This is absurd at this point. And the items keep getting returned to inventory in sellable condition - there is no way. He is opening these products, taking what he wants and returning them. But I can't get them returned to me to investigate through a removal order, because these have no priority due to the time of the year.

Customer has just placed another order:
701-9311812-5516212 ($199.98)
All returned orders have been reported but amazon will not do anything - just get the same generic response. Very cool that Amazon continues to let blatant FBA return abuse continue. This guy has now been refunded for $1,363.92 worth of orders, plus has another $787.93 of outstanding orders. I think you can see through the order history where the most recent orders are headed.

So all the pending orders have now been refunded?
The appeals team accepted my case, and I am currently investigating the other orders.
Can you confirm this statement?
