The Buyer-Seller Messaging Service lets you communicate with buyers in the Amazon store via email or Seller Central. The service uses encrypted email addresses for both buyers and sellers. For example, when a buyer contacts you, Amazon assigns them an encrypted alias like a222d34b3891234b@marketplace.amazon.com. Amazon then routes the emails to you via the encrypted alias.
