Honestly, all I ask is they actually read the case notes and look at attachments. Is that really too much to ask?

If anyone with any sort of clout at Amazon happens to be reading this, just spend 10 minutes reading some Support Cases, the replies from Amazon Support Staff are literally pointless.

This is just 1 example, I gave up.

Malicious attacks from competitors
by Seller_VSTSOljfVIOLo

I am a British website seller. I sell products on the British website, but I was maliciously attacked by my competitors. The detailed questions are as follows:

My asin: B0F9XW9RXH and B0F9XVV8S6 are newly released this year and were shipped to Amazon warehouses on May 27, 2025. On June 23, 2025, Amazon began to receive inventory and did not issue an order during the pre-sale period. However, on June 8, 2025, these two asin received one-star negative reviews from the same buyer (not certified by purchase). So we checked the buyer's profile, where all the reviews were 5-star reviews and were not certified for purchase, which was obviously a competitor's malicious manipulation of comments, trying to harm our business! This seriously violates the standard of fair competition on Amazon platform. Please check it with relevant departments! The specific comment information is as follows:

Review product asin: B0F9XW9RXH

{personal data removed, moderator edit}

Comment content: Strange odor when producing H2

{personal data removed, moderator edit}

Comment date: June 8, 2025

Review product asin: B0F9XVV8S6

Comment Title: Cheap Feeling!

Comment content: Dollar store quality

{personal data removed, moderator edit}

Comment date: June 8, 2025

{personal data removed, moderator edit}

Coincidentally, our other variant product asin: B0F2MWHHKH also received two one-star negative reviews on June 8, 2025, but it was not purchased. Check out the profiles of these two buyers, and they are all 5-star reviews and are all reviews that have not purchased certification! Competitors try to harm other people's business by manipulating comments, so please crack down on the platform!

Review product asin: B0F9XW9RXH

Comment Title: No Benefits!

Comment content: Waste of money

Comment date: June 8, 2025

Disgraceful behaviour from Amazon
by Seller_7i0tLvuflQNyZ

I will start this by saying, before this incident I thought amazon's service was pretty good. However, recently Amazon has behaved in a way that has truly shocked me.

Amazon, without warning, created a removal order for nearly 100 units of varying stock, they did not give me prior warning or any reasons. When asked for a reason they said "capacity issues", I was kind of annoyed but it wasn't the end of the world.

What really got me going was after the fact they have the gawl to charge me over £250 for the privilege of removing my stock from their warehouses. What an absolute joke, I pay for amazon's services including warehousing and fulfilment. They have effectively taken both from me on these particular items and then billed me for the privilege. If they have capacity issues in their warehouse and want to remove stock, they should be paying for it. We had an agreement whereby they would provide warehousing facilities for a fee which I have duly paid for. It would probably be hoping for too much from amazon to rescind these disgusting charges they've now levied against me but I doubt that will happen.

I am truly at awe with the sheer disregard for sellers on their platform, how can they create a removal order without prior warning, and then charge me for it, when I didnt even want it in the first place.

Cannot believe it, I'm in awe

Buyer taking advantage of the business
by Seller_bOircv0UXN9jU

Please do advise me what I should be doing in this situation.

---

Buyer ordered an item and instantly claimed I sent him an empty box, which of course I wouldn't do.

I refunded him as to avoid all of the unnecessary messaging and explanations over a small order. Usually they go away.

He ordered it instantly again.

I cancelled the order.

He ordered it again.

Obviously I can't keep sending him free items (of course he will ask for a refund again).

Obviously I cannot keep canceling the orders because that affects the account.

Now what? 😅

Hi guys. just seeing what your opinions are on this.

we shipped an order out, customer messages us back to say they were not home. it was delivered to a safe place which was pictured in the tracking.

we asked them a question about it and they then put this reply

"You are clearly not reading what I send and you clearly don’t want to resolve this as a seller. I have no time to play silly games with you. Read what I have sent you and read it properly and you will see how I got the picture. This issue falls with you as you have chosen Royal Mail as the courier. If you don’t issue me a refund I will have no alternative but to leave an honest review of how you have failed to resolve this issue for a paying customer. I will also have to repost yours and my email replies so your customers can see what problems they will face trying to resolve the issue with you. Issue my refund now please as I haven’t got my items and I have done nothing but comply with you"

instantly from experience it looks like they are trying to have us over on this because you dont just do that . so the item has been delivered but i dont know what to do for the best. i think they have just decided to say they dont have it as they know they could easily get something for free.

interested on some thoughts

We recently supplied a business customer who was highlighted as a potential problem (suggest using signed for delivery warning) with an order for approx £500. Being wary, we used a signed for delivery service and the customer received their order.

5 weeks later on the 9th June, we received an e-mail advising us that this transaction had been refunded. There was no return request, no A to Z case and no apparent communication from the customer to request this - just seemingly a voluntary refund that had taken £480 from our account!! I contacted seller support and was on the phone for about an hour while it was "investigated" and was told that this is an Amazon error and you will get your money back. Please bear with us.

Fast forward 15 days and still no money back in my account. Still being told by seller support that this is a "known" issue that they are working to resolve. Just wondering how many transactions are affected by this and how much money are sellers like me waiting for even longer than normal.

Hello everyone,

I’ve been selling on Amazon for over 5 years as a side business. While things were stable in the past, I’ve seen a sharp decline in performance recently — with my overall sales dropping by 50% over the past two months.

I’ve invested in Sponsored Ads, keyword optimisation, A+ Content, and even consulted Amazon Seller Support, who confirmed my account is healthy with no violations or issues. Despite these efforts, my advertising spend is leading to consistent losses with very little return.

Two ASINs in particular — B08QH58SK8 and B08QH2KGL4 — used to be my best-performing, high-profit products. Now, I’ve had to reduce prices to near breakeven just to try and maintain some sales volume.

I’m urgently looking for actionable feedback or expert insights:

Could you kindly review these ASINs and suggest areas for improvement?

Are there realistic and cost-effective strategies that could help turn this around?

Any proven tactics for external traffic or listing enhancements?

would really appreciate any support or advice. Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Best regards,

When a customer enters an incorrect address into Amazon their items clearly aren't going to arrive. An A to Z claim will result in a refund and a defect. An appeal will be dismissed because the item's not arrived. And Amazon won't even have the courtesy to discuss the matter.

When it comes to Customer Service the other platforms are streets ahead of Amazon.

Hi All

Recent experience with a Customer raises a few questions for me, any advice would be appreciated.

A customer placed two seperate orders recently, 4 days apart. Both orders were shipped the same day, sent on a next day service with Evri and delivered the next day but were left in a 'Safe Place'.

We received a message from the buyer on the delivery day of the first order which said 'Where exactly has this been left please?'. So we sent a polite reply advising where it had been left (which was by the side of a wheelie bin) and attached the delivery image. In response the buyer said ''This parcel has not been received. You have 48 hrs from now to resolve otherwise a chargeback will be raised.'' In reponse, we didn't argue with him in any way, just politely asked him if he could confirm that he had checked the location where it had been left, and that the parcel was not there, in which case it must have been stolen and we would refund him. He didn't respond to that and went straight to an A-Z claim which of course Amazon granted but they didn't count against my metrics.

The scond order, the first we heard was a message from the buyer saying '' Again This POD is not compliant with consumer law. Package has to be handed to me unless I have authorised otherwise. Courier to be sent back to locate it.'' We responded again advising it had been left in the same place and attached the delivery image and could he check and advise. He want straight to an A-Z from there which had the same outcome as above.

They were both low value fortunately, however the biggest problem is that he has now left 1 negative and 1 neutral feedback for these orders saying ''poor customer service, poor attitude. My consumer rights are protected by law and overule your personal policies''. This is the biggest issue for me as it obviously affects my performance metrics badly!

So I am wondering what can I do about this and how can I prevent it in the future? I know I won't be able to have the reviews removed becuase they don't meet the criteria.

He is basically saying that under consumer law, if he hasn't agreed to them being left in a specific 'safe place' then the POD's don't count and so he will ask for his money back. He claims they have to be handed to hm personally under the law (unless he has agreed otherwise).

Due to the nature of the products we sell it maybe that he cannot get out of the house due to mobility issues. However, I'm not aware of ever seeing customers delivery instructions on orders on Amazon, is that a thing? I can't see anywhere that we can block a buyer either so that doesn't seem to be an option. I am concerned that if he keeps ordering and the same keeps hapening we could end up with a whole bunch of a-z's and negative feedbacks, or too many order cancellations if we don't ship them.

Appreciate your thoughts

Thanks
