Legal Letter
 

Amazon accepted my legit invoices but will not reinstate the account because I failed plan of action. They annotated my account to never reply. They have all my funds

Would a legal letter scare them? If so does anyone have a template? Otherwise even if I prove authenticity, they can take my money?

Re: Legal Letter
 

It depends, I have heard of people bringing Amazon to court over their case and they are successful in their fund retrieval.
I have also heard people on the forums use a legal letter and they didnt get a reply from it.

when it comes to them assuming you are selling "inauthentic" items, its hard to prove that your not. Not saying its not possible, but It need to be dealt with great care and attention to detail
good luck!

Have you tried calling into seller central to escalate your case log issue? You can also try reaching out to jeff@amazon.com

If your invoices were accepted, that is the hardest part, you should be able to get back in with another well written POA

I have issues with Jeff. On another account I escalated to Jeff early and he annotated my account to never reply again. Since last 2 months executive teams are bad news.

Welcome to the forum - all the best as you master amazon ghost :thumb:

Sadly, this is not a rare issue. Quite a few threads to read and consider.

There is a seller or 2 in the marketplace selling services for reinstatement - consider them if you can afford it I guess.

Amazon is loosing money. Without the shareholders that keep investing and bringing new money, the company would be in a legitimate trouble. These predatory policies are put in place to make Amazon some money knowing that small to medium sized sellers will never be successful taking Amazon to court over this.


They raised their Prime fee and started the Seller Fulfilled Prime program for a reason. They can't afford delivering stuff the next day anymore without taking big risks. They are loosing money on a ton of orders, but keep doing this just to see the customer again and again and again.


I have a theory that Jeff Bezos and the owners of this monopoly are using all the money coming from investors to start new venues (e.g: Amazon web servies...etc). Such new projects could bring some real money.


If Amazon was in a good financial situation as they claim they're, they would never forfeiture sellers' money for any reason. I personally can't find any other explanation to be honest. They also seem to be suspending sellers for all kinds of reasons nowadays and also denying invoices even though these are real in many cases.

I have said this before, ive been selling for 4 years now, and ive noticed the past 3 years EVERY year around this time Amazon will list a bunch of discontinued products for sale and say "temp out of stock, 1month delivery" etc. I sometimes will order them and then a month later they email a out of stock email.

This happens EVERY YEAR! There is no way they are getting the products, they have been disconuited for months to a year! I know! I sell the items 3 sometimes 4x the amount because they are hard to find computer parts! I use to place orders because I could still make a ton money if they were to be shipped, but they are always canceled. Now I know to not even waste my time its just a scam.

And it only happens in q4. They have to be inflating their sales or something because all these products are long gone.

Re: Legal Letter
 

opps sorry, off topic.

I dont get it. They take your invoices, what didnt they like about your POA? Yes if your items are legit and can be proven then I would contact a lawyer. Somone else here said when he contacted a lawer they wanted $2500 to send a letter and a follow up....has to be cheaper somewhere

Re: Legal Letter
 

wow very interesting

Re: Legal Letter
 

That is interesting and believable to increase their sales figures.

But I don't think they're having any trouble making money
