To Whom It May Concern,I am writing because Amazon is damaging my business with repeated, unnecessary inspections. I will provide more details in the attached file below. Please investigate.On February 13, 2025, I completed a video verification. Afterward, Amazon requested additional documents, which I submitted on February 15th. Yet on February 18th, they asked again for a credit card statement and my suppliers supplier documents. I thought this meant they were satisfied with other documents.Before formally responding, I emailed inbound-******************************** to address discrepanciesAmazon requested documents for more units than I ever had in inventory. My inquiry was ignored. On February 20th, I submitted the requested documents again, highlighting this issue. Despite this, on February 21st, Amazon asked for the same identity, payment, and delivery documents I had already submitted before and after the video verification.Seeing this as an excessive check, I resent all documents on February 24th. No response. On March 3rd, I followed up. Still nothing.On March 5th, Seller Support assured me the verification team would respond within 24 hours. After 48 hours with no reply, I called again on March 7ththis time, a representative claimed Seller Support cannot even contact the verification team. Either I was previously deceived, or I was being misled again.On March 10th, after waiting two weeks for a response, I sent another requestwithin 20 minutes, Amazon replied with the same generic document request.I have been patient and compliant, yet I keep receiving the same automated responses. How long will this cycle continue? How many times must I submit the same documents? This delay and mismanagement are unacceptable.I urge the Amazon Executive Relations Team to investigate. The verification team and Seller Support have failed me multiple times. I need your expertise to resolve this matter so I can sell freely ********** regards.Business Response

I placed an Amazon order on 2/11/2025. I ordered 2 nebulizer treatments. Once the order arrived I put 1-2 of the saline solutions in my nebulizer machine to help calm my asthma/asthma attacks. I noticed during the entire treatment my breathing and chest still felt heavy and out of breath. I felt no difference after the treatment at all. I felt like I wasted $53 on a falsely advertised product. when I tried calling product support it would keep ringing and then tell me there inbox is full and arent accepting anymore voicemails.basically I have no way of getting any of my money back. I WANT ALL MY MONEY BACK.Business Response

Greetings!I am reaching out regarding a technical issue affecting my Amazon account, which is registered with a U.S. business address. Due to a system error, I am unable to select the correct country in the Business Information section. When attempting to update my business details, the country field is automatically set to ******* and cannot be changed. The selection button is entirely unclickable, preventing me from choosing the correct country - *************. Despite my Business Address being properly listed and verified as a U.S. address, the system does not allow me to reflect this correctly in the Business Information section. This issue is preventing me from maintaining accurate account details. I request that Amazon urgently review and resolve this technical error so I can select the correct country. I have attached relevant screenshots demonstrating the problem. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and provide an estimated timeframe for resolution. Best regards, ***** ******Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: Amazon did not correctly identify the problem, so the messages they sent were not relevant to the issue. The verification of the Information Consumers Act mentioned by Amazon was successfully completed and all information was verified in full.
The issue is that the Amazon system does not give me the technical ability to select the correct country. Since my company is registered in the ***, the correct country of registration is the ***. However, the country currently listed is ********
This technical error causes incorrect data, so I am contacting Amazon to resolve this issue.
For Amazon to clearly identify the issue, I am attaching a screenshot of the page where you can see the non-clickable box that does not allow me to select the correct country.
I kindly ask you to review this explanation and proof and fix the technical issue.

I purchased a freezer from Amazon on December 18, 2024. I immediately submitted a request for return because it was super small but was advised I had to wait for their seller to provide a label. My email is used for both business and personal so I get about 200 emails a day. It took so long that I did not know they sent the label until I cleared my inbox Feb 28, 2025. The label also expired in Feb 2025. I called Amazon to request a new label on Feb 28th. I spoke to Jeevan who stated he was a supervisor (escalations Team) and he advised that he would call me back personally once the seller replied. I went in to clear my emails and received an email stating my claim was closed because I did not reply to the seller. No call as promised from ******. I called and spoke to Amazon again. I was first advised my claim closed due to no response. After i got upset and advised I did not get the call as promised, I was advised that I would receive a refund in 5 days and someone would contact me to detrmine how to retrieve their item. I requested a supervisor because it did not make sense to me that I would be told my case was closed but now retail I will receive a refund. ***** I spoke to ******* (supervisor). Was advised again that she would personally call me within 48hrs max. I advised that the freexer is extremely small and extremely loud. The description stated it was a quiet freezer which is one of the reasons i ordered it. I have a video recording on how loud it is. As a customer, i should not have to take time to file complaints or jump through hoops for me to be refunded. I then received an email about purchasing from Amazon marketplace. All i know is I purchased from Amazon. Amazon is the seller's customer. I am **********************'s customer. i have nothing to do with the contract between Amazon and the seller. I have everything to do with Amazon which is the company i ordered from and requested an immediate refund. I have a video that will not upload here. Happy to email it.Business Response

I pay for prime services with Amazon which basically means my deliveries are supposed to be express or priority via Amazon. Prime service means Amazon will be delivering orders to avoid delays. For the past week I have been receiving notifications that my packages will be delayed these delays are not 1 or 2 days. One of my packages still has not been delivered which was ordered on the 26 of February 2025. Not to mention my second order is also delayed. Instead of sending my deliveries prime like Im paying for. Amazon has been sending my deliveries standard which theres no extra fee for. I PAY FOR PRIME AND WANT PRIME DELIVERY!!! I will also be reporting to consumer finance including FTC if this happens againBusiness Response

To Whom It May Concern at Amazon,I am writing here because Amazon does not allow me to upload the documents they require through the Seller Central account. This creates confusion on what I should do, therefore I am addressing this matter in this BBB Complaint.After I tried to register an Amazon Seller Account, ********************** requested additional documents, including:-- A valid letter of authorization that confirms that the primary contact person is authorized to open, manage, and initiate transactions on the Amazon Payments account on behalf of the registered business.According to the latest email from Amazon, I need to upload the requested supporting documentation to the primary contact person information page (please see the screenshot of the respective part of the mentioned email).However, when I go to the referred page, all I can see are the forms to submit either identity documents or proof of address documents (please see the screenshot of that page attached). Amazon does not allow me to upload the documents through the Seller Central account they require. I am not going to try and upload the documents into the wrong form.I attach the requested documents to this BBB complaint.I'm asking you to accept the documents I send via this communication channel and let me use the Seller Central account privileges as soon as possible.Business Response

I placed an order with lifezone thru Amazon.com its been a week now and I have not received my product nor have I received my money back Amazon and ******** produced false advertisement because they displayed on delivery date that was false information the package initial delivery date was February *******.

Both amazon and lifezone promised me they would resolve the issue in which they did not. I am very dissatisfied and it is very unprofessional they dates their displaying are not the dates they deliver the product.

Greetings!I am facing restrictions that prevent me from adding new listings, which is directly impacting my business growth and customer satisfaction.These limitations were imposed without explanation, making it impossible for me to expand my product range. According to Amazons ASIN Creation Policy, each product variation requires a unique ASIN due to differences in design, specifications, and features. While some products may appear similar, they have key distinctions that are essential for accuracy and compliance.These listing restrictions are severely disrupting my operations and limiting my ability to contribute to Amazons platform. I kindly request that you review and lift these restrictions so I can continue growing my business while fully adhering to Amazons ************* regards!Business Response
Date: 02/27/2025
Hello from Amazon,
I have researched the issue raised by the selling partner about creating listing for their account and found that ASIN creation limit has been placed on their account.
To protect the onsite shopping experience for our customers, we limit the number of listings (new ASINs) that a seller can create in a given week until they establish a sales history with Amazon. As sales are increased your their capacity to create ASINs will also increase. We encourage sellers to prioritize the products they are listing to increase their sales quickly.
Please note, if the seller has created a high number of new listings, we retain the right to temporarily suspend their ability to create new listings. This temporary suspension will be automatically lifted at 00:00 GMT on the first day of each week (Sunday), enabling them to resume creating new listings within the designated capacity.For more information ask them to refer to our policy page: **********************************************************************

I am rejecting this response because: In its response, Amazon emphasizes that the limits will increase if sales increase. Over the past year, my income has more than doubled, which allows me to raise the limits. My account follows this requirement.
In addition, Amazon has provided clear requirements that allow you to request an increase in limits:
1. Excellent Account Health Rating - currently, my account has been without violations for a long period of time. All metrics are at a high level.
2. Adherence to Amazon policies - this is evidenced by the absence of violations.
3. Excellent sales history - my sales are growing every month, which is why I needed to raise the limits.
I did not violate Amazon's regulatory rules and policies to set limits and refuse to raise them. Amazon gives a clear list of requirements for increasing the limits, but refuses to do so. I have never manipulated listings, price, or other things because I am well aware of the consequences and follow Amazon's rules strictly.
All inactive and unnecessary listings have been removed from my account.
Therefore, I am asking to increase the limits for adding listings to my inventory so that I can sell more products and pay Amazon more fees. In addition, I pay taxes to the US government, which has a positive impact on the country's economy.
Sincerely,

Complaint: 22993309
I am rejecting this response because: Currently, Amazon is preventing me from increasing my sales by refusing to increase my limits. As a result, I am unable to sell more and therefore pay more taxes for the development of the country.The limits currently set by Amazon for adding listings to the inventory are not enough, as sales on my account are increasing, which requires an increase in the limits.
Increasing the limits directly affects the amount of taxes paid (the more sales, the more taxes I pay and the country develops), sales (since I cannot sell more than the limits set by Amazon).It is for these reasons that Amazon makes it difficult for me to conduct my business.
I ask you to consider this issue and raise the limits on my account.
Sincerely,
