Read onlySerious Concerns Regarding Unfair Treatment by Amazon Seller Support
Dear Amazon Community,
I am writing to share a deeply concerning experience I have had with Amazon.es Seller Center, which highlights significant issues with Amazon’s dispute resolution process and its treatment of third-party sellers.
The Situation
1. A customer falsely claimed that she did not receive the item I shipped.
2. I provided clear and irrefutable proof of delivery, including:
- Tracking information from DHL Business Portal (the carrier used for shipping from Germany).
- Tracking information from the Spanish postal service (Correos) showing successful delivery to the customer’s letterbox.
3. Despite this evidence, the customer requested a refund, and Amazon approved the refund without any apparent consideration of the proof I provided.
Appeal and Denial
- I filed some appeals, expecting Amazon to review the tracking evidence and resolve the matter fairly.
- However, my appeals were denied without any request for additional proof or explanation. This lack of transparency and due process is unacceptable.
Why This Matters
This case is not just about one unfair decision—it reflects a broader issue that could harm all third-party sellers on Amazon’s platform:
- Lack of Fairness: Amazon’s decision to side with the customer without proper investigation undermines the trust and confidence of sellers.
- Lack of Transparency: The rejection of my appeal without clear reasons violates the principles of fairness and accountability that Amazon claims to uphold.
- Systemic Impact: If Amazon routinely ignores seller-provided evidence and sides with customers without justification, this sets a dangerous precedent that could lead to widespread abuse and mistreatment of sellers.
I urge Amazon to:
1. Review this case thoroughly, taking into account the tracking evidence I provided.
2. Provide a clear and detailed explanation for the refund decision and the denial of my appeal.
3. Improve its dispute resolution process to ensure fairness, transparency, and equal treatment for both sellers and customers.
To my fellow sellers in the Amazon community, I encourage you to share your own experiences and stand together to demand better treatment from Amazon. If we do not hold Amazon accountable, such practices will continue to harm not only individual sellers but also the integrity of the platform as a whole.
Thank you for your attention, and I hope Amazon takes immediate steps to address this issue.
Sincerely,
Hello @Seller_Wcj9oXkDTARSI,
My name is Ka, I hope you are doing great.
I understand that you have a concern about the order mentioned and the not received A-to-Z claim.
I was checking all the information about your case, and it seems that the proof you provided doesn't show the shipping date or the first scan from the original carrier (Germany carrier). Our A-to-Z claim needs to verify that all the dates were fulfilled correctly, including the ship by date. If your package was shipped late, it is probably the reason your appeal was denied. Also, the tracking information was entered with spaces between letters, this will affect the system to read the tracking information correctly and may alert the buyer that the package may be lost.
If you can contact your original carrier and obtain a certificate or proof of the shipment where it shows the first scan from the Germany carrier. It will be a great evidence to have in order to escalate your case to our specialized team for a more detailed review.
Let me know if you can get more information and evidential documentation about the shipment. If you have, let me know so I can create a case for you to submit it to me internally. Do not post any information that shows any confidential or personal data in the forums.
Best regards, Ka
