AMAZON.COM Amazon account suspension scheme Seattle Internet
Yes Amazon has pulled the "Account suspension scam" with myself as well. For no apparent reason my account was suspended after a "so called" dissatisfied customer that came from out of the blue. After reading many reports on them it has come to my conclusion that everyone who has gotten suspended has had overall positive feedback ratings. It is a set up and for what? Why bite the hand that feeds you? I smell fish and it will all come out in the wash. Further more it makes no sense to reply to their e-mails because they are all replied back to you on a generic e-mail response and you cannot call anyone there.
The stories I have read are horrible. There are people who quit their jobs and have become Pro Merchants on Amazon making some good money and have been suspended without any concrete reasoning. I honestly believe they are freezing these account and with the large sums of that they are holding they are investing it in a 90 day or 6 month CD. Something went wrong internally with Amazon someone dropped the ball and a large sum of cash somewhere and now they are trying to make it up. Like I said why bite the hand that feeds you.
Legally they cannot hold your/my money. You invested in the products to sell on their website, you pay them a commission they get theirs and you get yours. It's simple math. The only way it gets complex is when people start "skimming the till." Do we have another AIG on our hands? You are only using their website for an advertising outlet so the world can see your products online. They did not do the leg work like you and I to acquire these products you did. They are just a platform for an outlet for people to buy your product on. Many people feel because they handle the money that they control your business and you work for them. NO!! they work for us! ! If you did not list products on their site for people to buy they would not be able make MONEY! They make money off our backs and our products and then turn around and hold our money and suspend our accounts for no apparent reason.
I'm done talking. It's time for some action. I deal with media and have my own production facility. I'm ready to take it to the streets. I wish I could leave my e-mail address so, that we can all communicate and form some kind of an alliance. Anyone have any suggestions on how to contact one another let please let me know. I believe in "Power to the People!" We made that company what it is today from complying to their rule and the sweat off our backs! Many of us have put in countless hours packing and shipping and during the Christmas rush have worked over night to make sure we provide great customer service. Remember what I said we do the work. They just push the paper. Yes, I hear you it's David vs Goliath and we all know how that turned out.
Please let's try to ban together. Contact me if you can. I have the lights camera and now "It's time for some action! Let's show these people that we will not be kicked around!

We do their work? You are so wrong it's ridiculas. You want proof? Start your own website and promote it, see how consistant your sales are in comparison to your amazon listings. The two wouldn't even compare. Amazon does so much more than you could imagine. They are a retailer themselves, the fact that we as marketplace sellers can sell on their site is simply a benefit to us. They make their money elsewhere, their own sales on their site, the cloud, they power major retailer websites like Target and many others. Of course they make a little scratch from us as 3p sellers, but you are greatly mistaken if you think that we are a big enough part of their overall project that they "NEED" us, in fact the complete opposite is true. We NEED them, that's how these other sellers were empowered to quite their day jobs.
I could have the best products in the world at the greatest prices, but if I'm trying to sell them in an alley or the moon where there is no traffic, the products are useless to me. Amazon has over 6 million customers that are constantly on their site. When people look for items, they tend to go straight to Amazon or ebay to perform the search because they're established. With your own site you'll have to not only compete with them, but you'll also have to advertise on google and other places where these two venu's already heavily saturate the results as it is.
They don't make money off a cd or interest because they're not a bank and they control the money, they make a lot of money in many different ways.
They don't just "push the paper" they provide the audience that is interested in your merchandise, without that audience your merchandise is useless.
Don't waste your time with these silly suits, you better believe amazon has more lawyers than most companies have employees, they are more than protected. What you should do is find out how to get back on. I can tell you this, it is possible, you have to jump through a lot of hoops like new computer, ISP etc. Here's a hint, business bank acct, ein # & the bank lets you alter things on your acct, remember that amazon verify's bank info, I'll leave it at that and let you figure it out.
