Classic Received an empty parcel, £800 refund!
by Seller_jrQPSkCeMxq1Y

Hello Everyone,

Recently sold a PS5 pro, was sent special delivery, with signature, GPS location, photo, and weight confirmation. Customer claimed empty parcel, even though the images showed no seals broken, and got refunded by Amazon through A-Z Claim (bought shipping label from Amazon, no extra protection, what so ever).

Of course, challenged the claim, and awaiting an outcome, but wanted to ask, claiming through royal mail, what would be the best way to go about it?

Cheers

Product Review as Seller Feedback
by Seller_gEv1wCLlWibuA

The Feedback Manager is not working properly to remove the seller feedback which are entirely product reviews, as Amazon's feedback guideline supports.

We received two back-to-back reviews and they are both about products, not us as a seller. However, the automated feedback manager is never able to detect that and says that they are not violations. Still, the automated messages we are receiving are clearly saying that the feedback can be removed if they are entirely product reviews as can be seen in the screenshots.

Can you please help me with this? @Seller_Huz6FT08OxHAR @Seller_mIRnuhdx7l5sN @Seller_iTgjdgiRqiPsn @Seller_DNQGSsdC7DccM @Seller_TSXM2A5nxWSuH @Seller_fgtTzyHQfOM1x @Seller_hnDMgUKxMh1V4 @Seller_z3k8APxGfbQEK @Seller_gAhPNiLrkfTcr

Negative Review Unrelated to Order
by Seller_pvx82zrXMTSpX

Hey Forum! Mainly looking for moderator intervention/escalation here.

We received the following review from a customer (Order ID: 202-4337706-7841960) by mistake:

Their order was for a video game controller; nothing to do with a "double" or "king-size", and they had not cancelled or requested a return in respect to this transaction.

I followed the usual route: Feedback Manager >> Request Removal and got an instant response saying that it does not infringe review guidelines and cannot be removed. I responded to this in the case: 10552014872 hoping for an actual person from the Review Team to take a look and see that it is completely unrelated to our order but I only received another automated decision. Now the case is closed and I cannot re-open it.

I have spoken with your seller support team now on 3 occasions who have all agreed that this feedback is wrong and have all escalated it with the Feedback Team, only for a response to say that the appeal must be made via the original "Request Removal" case. As I have said, this is now locked.

The buyer has not responded to our requests for them to review whether this was left by mistake and we don't want to ask them to take it down as it goes against Amazon Selling Policy.

Considering we have an active policy violation on our account which we are battling, this negative review could really affect our account health. Please can a moderator review the following Support Cases and Order ID: 10552014872, 10551892392, 10552013092, 10552115732 and 202-4337706-7841960.

Thanks in advance!

What should I do in this situation. If I notify the customer then I can imagine they will panic and open A-Z claims etc. So far I have opened a case only. Some advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Goods delivered after refund through A-Z Claim
by Seller_AyesGyWcEZ0pc
Amazon replied

We sold items to a customer and was dispatched through Amazons Buy Shipping on Royal Mail Tracked 48. The item was attempted delivery within the estimated time frame but nobody was available. The customer has then opened an A-Z and been refunded. Since then the customer has taken delivery of the goods. We have messaged him twice to contact us. We then appealed the A-Z which was refused.

Ha anybody got any ideas for further action as to me this is almost fraudulent.

New spin on AtoZ
by Seller_TX7yhVegrfOrA
Amazon replied

Well i woke up to a AtoZ for postage costs. I looked into it and found it relates to a order in sept, i believe first week or so into the new delaying payment system.

The refund was done BY Amazon under Firstscan and THEY took the return cost off as it was a change of mind return.

Roll on to today and i lost the AtoZ. I was shocked as it was all AMAZON. i appeal explained the customer had return it under a chargable return and you took it off under firstscan refund.

I LOST! there reasoning is - Why was my appeal denied?

We have reviewed all available information and determined the merchandise for the order was correctly returned and you have received the return. The ROYAL MAIL tracking number is QY418014434GB. Because you did not refund the order within two business days, the claim amount has been debited from your seller account.

They are technically true as it seems under the new system IF before the 8 day holding date, all my refunds for them order are matching the release date EVEN tho it was processed/started on 27th September.

01/10/2024 Released Order Payment 203-6486034-0517126 2 x Grey Brick Stone Effect Plastic Gard...

01/10/2024 Released Refund 203-6486034-0517126 2 x Grey Brick Stone Effect Plastic Gard...

Clearly this is a automation issue that they over looked . Hopefully by posting it on here someone big might have the power to get them to look into this issue.

So right now if someone buys a item, returns it within 3 days under firstscan refund i WILL automatically lose the AtoZ even if im in the right.

We had a customer who sent back Satellite receiver that was supplied with an access card. They returned the item after a month having obviously used the item for a period to watch TV and then it was returned when clearly they had no use for it.

The access card was activated and the box was configured to be used by the buyer, to my mind this is like buying a DVD disc, watching the film and then returning it (something which is not permitted as far as I am aware).

We received the item back and obviously needed to test and rest the item , which is now second hand with an activated card. The customer then left us negative feedback as they had not had their refund quick enough.

Attempts to report the buyer and have the feedback removed via Feedback Manger have been unsuccessful as has an attempt to contact the buyer via messaging.

We are not a lending library and this feedback has wrecked our feedback score.

Surely this cannot be right and someone at Amazon can look at this?

Buyer fraud and no recourse
by Seller_1vyLJePYDN9hf

So here's a good one. Buyer claims item-not-received. Send tracking screenshot which clearly shows item delivered. Buyer miraculously finds item "in his recycling bin". Then immediately claims item condition is not as described (it was in superb condition) and he still wants a refund. I offer a return. He becomes abusive and says he is taking me to court. Leaves negative feedback saying I am "extremely unhelpful" and starts a return. I receive an Amazon message on Friday to say 'We have temporarily withdrawn the claim on the order. However, if you do not issue a refund when the return is received, the customer may reopen the claim.' Today is Tuesday and they have granted his claim and refunded him. There is no tracking for the return or indication that he has returned the item and I have received nothing. Amazon says I cannot use Safe-T where there has been an A-Z, that I should use 'Option to Appeal'. But there is no 'Option to Appeal' under the A-Z. Any advice? Another good day for Amazon-encouraged buyer abuse - I've been here long enough to be able to tell instantly when a buyer knows the game to play to get free stuff at my expense.

Just wondering if anybody else has any experience this this type of this, as it seems as though Amazon are rewarding buyers that open fraudulent A-Z claims, with immunity from Safe-T claims. Details below.

We had a buyer open an A-Z claim, stating they didn't receive their order. We had valid tracking plus a signature showing delivery weeks earlier. We added this to the A-Z claim and the buyer's claim was denied.

A few days later, the buyer started a return, claiming the item was damaged. This is the same item they claimed they hadn't received.

Now the buyer has returned a completely different item back to us, something that is worthless, and due to the return tracking Amazon have issued the buyer a full refund.

I have since tried to open a Safe-T claim for the return, but when I've tried to do this, we get the following message "Orders with an A-to-z claim are not eligible to file claim ."

So we are unable to open a Safe-T claim against this fraudulent buyer, because they opened a fraudulent A-Z claim, which was denied.

The means then, that if a buyer opens a fraudulent A-Z claim which is then denied by Amazon, this only serves to guarantee they can return whatever they like and receive a full refund as the seller isn't able to open a Safe-T claim. Buyers that open A-Z claims which are denied, should not be protected indefinitely from Safe-T claims.

I have contacted support, who have told me to file a Safe-T claim. I told them this was not possible, and they've asked for a screenshot showing the "Orders with an A-to-z claim are not eligible to file claim " message, which I have provided. Yet to receive any further response.

Hi forum,

today I've received this message:

"Amazon shows £16.99 but I have been charged £23. Have I been incorrectly charged?".

This message came from a customer who had just bought a new book from me.

My reply has been: "Dear customer, the price of our copy is £.23. that of Amazon is £16.99.

We are a third party seller. If you have changed your mind, you may contact customer's service of Amazon.".

What do you think the customer will do, next? What should I do? Should I worry?

Guy
