Amazon, Amazon Seller Central Amazon Supports Theft of Sellers, as They Profit. No Seller Support, Just Thieves (buyers) Internet Internet
Amazon allows any buyer to steal from sellers on Amazon's website, but not from Amazon itself. Amazon will protect it's own inventory from theft, but will allow buyers to steal from other sellers on Amazon's website. It is real easy to steal from sellers on Amazon; Amazon's customer service will even assist you and explain how to do it. All you need to do is:
1. Purchase ANY item you want that is not filled by Amazon (FBA), [i.e. not Amazon's own inventory, they won't allow you to steal from them].
2. After you receive the item, contact the seller one time about the order. Say anything you want: How do you use this? Something is not working. Something is missing. This is the wrong item. I changed my mind, can I return this? Anything at all, it does not matter.
3. Wait at least 24hrs, then file an A-Z claim, and state Reason: 'Not As Described'.
Poof, there you go; like magic, Amazon will reward you with your free item! It's like a glitch in a video game: if you press the right keys, in a certain sequence, you are rewarded with a bonus!
Usually within a day, Amazon will send you a message that they have refunded your order AND you can keep the item, you do NOT have to return it. It's FREE! And legal. Amazon is currently supporting thieves on their website.
They take the money from the seller to refund you AND they charge the seller a fee, which Amazon keeps for themselves. So the seller has lost a sale, lost time, lost shipping fees, and now has to pay Amazon on top of all that. Terrible for anyone selling on Amazon, GREAT service to the buyers, and Amazon still profits! Amazon is happy as long as the customer is happy. They don't even care if the customer is dishonest, lies, breaks your item, Amazon just does not care. Amazon refunds the customer and tells them 'You do NOT have to return the item'.
As a seller, you can plead with Amazon all you want, they do NOT care. You can show proof of the customer lying, damaging your item, changing their story; it does not matter, you, the seller, lose.
I am very disappointed, and frustrated, with Amazon and there lack of seller support. They treat the sellers like garbage, discarding them to the side.
I do NOT recommend ANYONE to sell on Amazon. They do NOT offer any useful or ethical support to sellers.
