Amazon.com RIPS OFF their sellers big-time! I posted a book for sale on their website a few months ago AND the buyer never contacted me in order to claim she wished for a full refund. It turns out that Amazon helps themselves to my account and refunded the woman $19.50, while she NEVER shipped back my book to me. Now I am out the $19.50, plus, I have no way of reselling book to someone else. I can give readers good tips on how to make your own money on Amazon.com: All you have to do is purchase any type of merchandise from a seller, then later turn around and put in your claim to Amazon that you wish for a full refund: You'll get your money back, plus, a FREE item! That's right: Unlike a store, where customers must bring back the receipt and merchandise for a full refund, Amazon REWARDS their buyers with sellers' money, not caring if sellers get their merchandise returned to them after paying out buyers' refunds. Imagine selling someone anything you own, only to find out that a crooked company like Amazon.com ALLOWS their buyers to rip off their sellers!

Once this is all said and done, I shall NEVER post another item on Amazon.com. If I wished to give away my book or anything else FOR FREE, I would have went to my nearest charity and donated the book, or allowed a friend or family member to keep it.

DO NOT SELL YOUR ITEMS ON AMAZON.COM, UNLESS YOU WISH TO HAVE BUYERS GET YOUR ITEMS FOR FREE, WHILE AMAZON STEALS YOUR MONEY FROM YOU! If you enjoy just giving away your items For Free, why advertise on Amazon.com?! As for anyone wishing to turn over a new relief as a scam artist, I have furnished the information on how to do so: Just pose as a buyer, ask for a refund, and keep the item you so-called purchased! It's that simple.

There are local newscasters, which go after crooks like Amazon.com, and if you have been ripped off by this company or others, I strongly advise you to do the same thing: Report them beyond this Rip-Off Report website! Here I am going to college, since I know I can't obtain steady, decent employment without a college degree and specialized skill; yet, Amazon.com happily rips their sellers off, including myself! It's just as criminal as being pickpocketed!

Amazon deserves to be shut down! They rob from their sellers, so even Craigslist.com is more legit to sell items on, as at least the buyers are in one's neighborhood and if let's say, a buyer doesn't pay you upfront (you allow check to clear first, if paid this way) for merchandise, then guess what: You don't give your items away to them for sale by any means! If buyers through Craigslist claim they wish for a refund, then as an honest person, I would gladly refund their money, with no strings attached---provided I received my merchandise I sold to them back in return first, before issuing full refund.

Beware of all the scam artists in this extra bad US Great Depression II economy! They are everywhere like "leaches", ready to suck a poor person's blood, robbing anyone they can think of---so many murders and violent crimes now occurring across cities in the USA these days, as the economy continues to worsen. Amazon is a HUGE "leach", as they are an alarming, enormous entity, robbing all the sellers they can, while enhancing very fruitful opportunities for scam artists and other dishonest people to be their buyers!

Amazon.com is so proud of its crooked, deceptive practices that they don't even choose to list their full address anywhere on their website, or when using Search Engines. They only use the email and a toll-free phone no. for contact, claiming they have offices throughout USA and the rest of the world. I think I heard that they have a USA office in California; but, again, I am not so sure. Just know that the way Amazon.com gets rich is by robbing SELLERS of their proceeds and rewarding any thieving, dishonest buyers in the process. Even eBay has more honesty and integrity than Amazon does!!!!!!

Hey if you lost that much money in the stock market, you likely don't feel like reading anything. Please start reading the Street instead and save us your commentary.

Sellers: Protect Yourselves!

This report is a pretty common scenario for online sellers. It is a sorry state of affairs in this country when a segment of the buying community can poison the waters so badly that good people will avoid taking part in such a fantastic endeavor as connecting people with goods to people who want goods via an online medium. I sell on e-bay and Amazon.com, and I've been the victim of such a scam in the past. There are some things you as a seller can do to protect yourself. They work for me, and I recommend trying them: 1) Delivery and Signature confirmation - delivery confirmation costs $0.18 and Signature confirmation costs $1.80 if you purchase your postage online at USPS.com. While Amazon.com will nto accept delivery confirmation as definitive proof if a claim is filed (since it only shows when an item reaches the zip code it was sent to, not the recipient) it CAN be useful to send the delivery confirmation number to the buyer and let them know that since the DC shows it arrived, you've opened a case with the postmaster in [destination zip code] and that the buyer should expect to be contacted by the postmaster to assist with the investigation. You'd be surprised how fast some people find those lost books :) Signature confirmation is more expensive, so I only use it for items that cost $25.00 or more - that's my own threshhold - how much I'm willing to lose. I always bump up the price of an item $1.50 or so before I list it for sale if I'm going to use Signature confirmation - if the item (book or video game usually) is a hot seller, it will sell regardless. 2) you might want to think about adding the $1.00 for insurance with the Post Office when (online postage is cheaper - always remember that) you're sending your products out. This way, if it's lost or stolen, and Amazon or e-bay make you pay out of pocket, you can recoup some of your losses. Remember - the onus of responsibility for protecting yourself as a seller is on YOU. It's a shark-infested ocean of commerce out there. Delivery confirmation, signature confirmation, and postal insurance are your harpoon, your chainmail scuba suit and your shark cage respectively. Good luck out there!! SavvySeller
