On other threads, moderators said to report FBA buyer return violations from the "Report Abuse" page:
https://sellercentral.amazon.com/abuse-submission/form/other
OR referred us to https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G200444420 which also tells you to go to "Report Abuse" page (or how to report an abusive message from buyer, which is different).
THIS DOES NOT WORK.
I have buyers that "replaced" what was in the box with something else or stole most of the parts. There's only one option on the form that looks appropriate to submit, "An abuse issue that is not addressed by the other topics in this menu".
I submitted multiple returns abuses, included the LPN, Order Number, etc., and always immediately got the following auto-response:
" Hello,
Thank you for your report of a suspected policy violation. We cannot take action on the report as no violation has been identified on the reported B0D4PFGT56 for the violation type selected.
ASIN: B0D4PFGT56
Order ID (if applicable): 114-3138627-2782615
Complaint ID: 16052610791
Sincerely,"
This was a waste of time. WHERE do I report these?! Also, if it's limited to 60 days, that is not enough time. We don't always get them back from Amazon FBA in that time OR we do not have time to immediately inspect and report them.
Why can't FBA catch this when they inspect the item? I pay for inspections (to return to inventory)? Instead, we pay more to have them shipped back to us only to see we've been ripped off THEN get these auto-response denials.
Where do we actually report stolen items?
Why can't FBA flag these when they inspect?! Buyer return abuse should not be allowed and should be recorded on Buyer's record (and eventually they should be cut off/charged for their abusive returns, not the sellers).
