Hi everyone,
I’m a decade Amazon seller, and I’m honestly heartbroken and frustrated right now. I'm here to share an experience that I believe many sellers might eventually face, and I really need your opinions and support.
Here’s what happened:
We sold a wheelset to a customer and double-checked everything before shipment, including all specifications and accessories. Our wheelset comes with a 15x100 adapter, which allows for flexible compatibility — there was absolutely no mistake in what we shipped.
After receiving the parcel, the buyer suddenly claimed we shipped the wrong size. We responded immediately, politely asking for photos of the product so we could verify. The buyer ignored our messages, provided no evidence, and didn’t even request a return or refund — he went straight to an A-to-Z claim.
To make things worse:
The buyer already received and signed for the full package.
The product was exactly what he ordered.
The 15x100 adapter was included in the accessories.
Although there was a logistics delay, we proactively and immediately refunded their expedited shipping fee to maintain a good customer experience.
The buyer now has the product and the full refund.
We received no communication, no return, no photo, but Amazon still sided with the buyer!
So now the customer keeps the item, keeps the money, and we — the seller — lost both the product and the payment, and we're left with a performance hit on our account!
Order ID: 701-7191941-0627424
💸 Order Amount: $349.99 — This is not a small amount.
Is this the kind of "buyer protection" that’s meant to foster trust? What about seller protection? What about honest sellers who do everything right?
I’ve submitted delivery confirmation, signed proof, and explained everything to Amazon, but still haven’t received a fair response. It feels like our voice as sellers is being completely ignored.
👉 I would really appreciate if anyone who’s experienced something similar could share your advice or support. I also hope Amazon can take these cases more seriously — not all A-to-Z claims are legitimate, and if this continues, it will hurt more and more honest sellers.
Thanks for reading,
