Has Amazon ever Kept your money?

[thousand-face]

Some user in this forum suggest that ganbal hire a lawyer, but how he can possible do these when is stealth account that most like his name is no under the account, that is something hard to explain to a lawyer to start.
Now , this is a question for ganbala? are you sure has been 90 day since they block your account. Because sometimes they suspend that account and let seat for 30 and after 15 days, meaning if this happen then you will have to wait for 135 days

AMAZON ACCOUNT TYPES

There is a difference between a Suspended Account and a Suspended & Blocked Account and a Deleted Account.

A Suspended Account:
Usually a 30 day suspension
Does not have Selling privileges
Yes you can still log into your account
You can not withdraw your money
Your account may be reinstated if there are a low number of A to Z's
Your account may be reinstated if you receive some good feedback.
This is very SELDOM the case now days

A Suspended & Blocked Account
Your account will have the little yellow box at the top stating that your account was suspended.
You do not have any selling privileges
You can still log into your account
Your money is locked up for 90 to 104 days from the DATE you received the Blocked Account email from Amazon
Your account has almost NO chance of ever being reinstated
Be sure to wait to add your checking account number to you account until the 90 - 104 days are up.
Then add the checking account and take your disbursement all when you log back in after the 90 - 104 days.

A Deleted Account
You can no longer log into your account at all.
You can go through the "Change Password" circle and still NOT get back into your account.
Your money has been stolen by Amazon.
You MIGHT get it back by check if you are one of the lucky ones (don't count on it though)
Your account will never be reinstated.
Your emails will almost never be answered even though Amazon says they will.

he could go get a dba with the stealth name he has on amazon.

[thousand-face]

Even if he gets a DBA, when you create the LLC , at the time you open you will have to include the name of the owner(presid, vic..) and this name of course will be different that the name of the stealth account plus the date of these dba wont match the day when the amazon account was open. Any way, the problem gets complicate it.

Thank you

If he registered Amazon with the name Washington Flowers, he could get a DBA under the name Washington Flowers. Thus, they wouldn't ask for info about business officials...

Think 1mm outside the box.

Thank you

you don't have to create an llc , you can just create dba

[cardfelon]

A LLC protects your personal credit and assests. A DBA is sole ownership and that means if somebody decided to sue you over ⊗⊗⊗⊗ product or something else they could get you for everything you own. If your doing business it is way smarter to form a LLC and protect yourself. It doesn't cost that much and you can even get the forms online to do it. A person who sues a LLC can only go after what assests in the LLC name.

what if you have a lot of accounts? do you need to get 1 llc per account?
that would seem to expensive and daunting.

AMAZON ACCOUNT TYPES.....

wow...great info HERE....this is one of the best post replies yet

On one stealth account Amazon held my money for 6 months...@@#%@$@#...I called Amazon and a rep told me that Amazon put the acct. on RESERVE 30 days after it was blocked and money will not be released until 90 AFTER that reserve date.

Agent said that money is usually not released until 90 days after your last refund so if u still have have claims and refunds during the 90 days it will take a while to get ur money.

One of my accounts was deleted about a month ago, the ironic thing is that I still have a link to the feedback and its hit 10 (100%). The problem here is that I never added a back account before deletion, and I have 1800.00 sitting there, has anyone had any experience with that?

Contact seller support, they are in Costa Rica. Input your phone number at live seller support and they will call you in seconds. I've had trouble before and they sorted it out fast. Tell em your account was deleted and you need them to add your bank account # so you can get your money.

Amazon will refund them if the buyer inquires about a refund. They definitely will not do the right thing and proactively refund them. Bunch of scumbags.

tell buyer to file an a to z claim theyll get the refund in 7 days

[Superfly101]

lol, they permanently suspended us and won't even respond. I tried Jeff@amazon.com but no response. Its funny, we owe them $0.03 cents and its been 105 days and they have not charged us a dime.

[dbdisomma6]

No don't bank it they reviewed our account without prior warning holding our money even though though we had positive emails t after 14 days they suspended our account saying that we had breeched policy by taking longer than a couple of days to send the products. which only happened because they had kept our money. a month later they closed our account owing us £1955 we are on day 113 and still no payment. Don't bother ringing them you won't get anywhere as the call centres don't know anything. keep emailing them create a paper trail and tell them you doing it. Amazon cost us our business and shouldn't be allowed to get away with it were not the only company there are some terrible stories.
