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 have received back damage returns but we can't open up manage safe t claim. We opened up a case back in April but still no answer. The order was automatically refunded.

Dear Amazon Seller,

Order #206-0419486-0972358

The customer requested a return due to personal reasons. We actively followed Amazon’s return process and provided support.

However, the customer did not use the official return channel and instead returned the item directly to our warehouse.

We have received the item, which showed minor signs of use and required only simple cleaning. According to policy, cleaning fees should be charged to the customer.

The customer refused to pay these fees and filed an A-to-Z claim. To maintain customer satisfaction, we proactively offered to cover the cleaning fee and fully refund the customer, while requesting Amazon to close the claim.

Despite multiple appeals and providing full evidence, Amazon did not close the A-to-Z claim and restricted our ability to process the refund.

Ultimately, the claim was approved in the customer’s favor, and our account was negatively impacted with an ODR.

We acted promptly and cooperatively throughout, yet still faced an unfair penalty.

A customer claimed they didn't receive their order (£599.99) despite tracking showing the item delivered at their address. Customer opened an A-Z claim which was denied, they have now gone on to open a chargeback against us.

I'm trying to understand what the point is in A-Z if the customer can lose and then attempt a chargeback AS WELL?

It is not only frustrating as hell that a customer is trying to scam us but we now have to spend valuable time defending ourselves against multiple claims.

The other irritating thing about the chargeback is that we cannot attach any photographic evidence. Is there anywhere images can be uploaded?
