I will not go into specifics on the open forum.
But I lost over 10= accounts earlier this year.
There were over 10+ thousand dollars in those 10+ accounts.

The info is there and the accounts are GONE - right along with the money....

If you figure it out, please let me know.
My 10+ is still locked/lost in those 10+ Amazon accounts that vanished earlier this year.

Has anyone that had accounts vanish, not get paid after 90 days? Not being to log-in is a minor issue for me,

Not getting paid is a BIG issue and a game changer.

road-kill.... a bit of advice....

We're all for arguing, it's a forum after all. But you blatlently telling a senior member he's an idiot and whats illegal and no possible really makes a lot of people mad. Simple fact, I've been doing this long enough where I am not naive enough to ever say that paypal ebay amazon or anyone can't or won't do anything. These accounts and sites are not in your control, they CAN do anything.

Here's mine. Your comments are addressed to the wrong user.

Thread has gone along nicely so let's keep it going that way.

You are correct and wrong at the same time.

Amazon cannot simply take your money when you have fullfilled your orders, however per their user agreement they can suspend you for ANY reason and place a hold up to 90 days on any remaining funds to cover any chargebacks.

What they do is they deny you access to your account. You are unable to login to your Amazon Seller account. Every time you try to login it tells you a user with this email and password does not exist in our system.

If you use the password reset option, it will even allow you to reset your password, but when you go to login after resetting your password you still get the same "an account with this email and password does not exist in our system" message.

After 90 days from the date your account was initially blocked, if you added a bank account to the account prior to them blocking access to your account funds will be disbursed to the account on file.

If you were unable to add a bank account before they blocked access, you will have to contact them after 90 days, and they will restore access to your account for 24 hours for you to add a bank account to disburse your funds.

So yes, they do DELETE/BLOCK your account to where you have no access. However, they DO give you your money back after the 90 days.

My current problem is that one account has 5 orders for which I shipped but I cannot log-in to confirm...anyhow...

[Road-Kill]

I always confirm shipments in the morning. Ship late in the day. Edit shipping info in the evening.

I hate getting the "my tracking numbers don't work e-mails"

Thanks. I'm done.

I agree with your statement since I've gone through the same thing with them. However, please keep in mind that they can "delay" to pay you in the length they like with whatever reason they decide to throw at you. I believe in at least 90% of the cases, if you fulfill the shipments and have no A-Z claims, you will get the money back after initial 90 days hold.

I beg to differ on this point.
I have 10+ accounts with Amazon that all total contain 10+K in payments.
These 10+ accounts were deleted by amazon after that were blocked after they were suspended.
I can not log into them what so ever.
They are stuck in the password reset endless loop.
I went so far as to talk to Amazon Customer Service about 1 of these accounts.

I was told that they were blocked and restricted and until the restriction was lifted by their Customer Safety dept I would not have access to this account.

This is the same on the 10+ accounts.

The 90 cash lock was up in March of 2011. It is now almost September of 2011.
6 months + 90 days = 9 months.
So why has Amazon in essence stolen 10+K from me?
I can not get them to release my money no matter how many times I email them or call them.

I have already written the 10+K off as a loss and a expensive lesson learned.

What they should do and what reality is are sometimes very different.

I'd like to believe you, but it's just not possible. Sorry, just doesn't legally happen, in my opinion.

Despite being asked to give your reasons for this not to be possible, nothing has been forthcoming.

HWGA can reopen thread if he sees fit.
