if a customer is choosing the wrong return reason, on voice of the customer it lists the item as very poor. For instance, we recently had a customer say we shipped the wrong size. We did not ship the wrong size, we are able to prove we didn’t - yet the item is still listed as very poor.
And too large or too small has nothing to do with the actual item. A customer is returning the item bc it is too big or too small for them. Why are we penalized for that?
Amazon will tell you that you are not "penalized" because it doesn't affect your metrics. I have brought this up before, because there is no way for the seller to argue, reply...
It's quite annoying. I've had this issue as well. Customer complained that the description was incorrect even though it was not and I had pictures to back it up. Still, the one VOC nearly got my dang account suspended because customers so rarely leave reviews.
We sell books and we have had so many crazy reasons given for poor VOC experience.
*Cookbooks that did not have recipes that the buyer liked. *Bibles that were too heavy, *buyer did not like the color of the Bible cover, *the print of a book was too small, *a picture book that was clearly stated as a "Picture Book' but for some reason the buyer thought it was a chapter book... I could go on and on.
Amazon comes up with the most useless metrics it is mind blowing.
You can essentially ignore it. It's kinda vague at this point BUT should 1 item have a lot of returns you should think about either dropping it as something you sell or if it is something you private labeled and brand registered then to update and clarify the offer to reduce the returns.
Hello @Seller_69s3kxDSyggVm,
Thank you for posting here at the forums and bringing this to our attention.
I will be sure to share your sentiment towards 'Voice of the Customer' with the appropriate team.

This tool should be called VOICE OF THE LIAR , remorse runs there.
My dream is to one day never need to sell on Amazon ever again. I also NEVER purchase from them
