And the missing one now had a link, which just made me enter my name again, to get sent a postcard for verification.

and that post card is "in process" forever. Mine says my postcard should arrive by 6/11. it's already 6/8 and hasn't been mailed yet.

Their "postcard" was ridiculous. It was a 16 x 12 sheet of cardstock stuffed into a paper envelope with a priority mail label.

I was expecting a tiny cost friendly first class post card. Instead they invented a new reason to raise fees.

Yep, just had 6 of my listings removed.  However, these are only temporary.

What ASIN?

I shipped an item to a buyer. The buyer opened a return and shipped back a different item that's worth substantially less. What's the best course of action to deal with this issue these days?

 

This was an Amazon fulfilled-by-merchant order. The buyer hasn't been refunded at all yet.

Wait until Amazon refunds and then file SafeT claim and report the buyer. I just hope Amazon refunds before they open an AtoZ claim.

F... scammers!

No. Was waiting for amazon to refund. After amazon refunded, I put the order number in to file a safe T claim and got the message I'd posted

Yes

That is strange. Please contact the sellersupport and let us know what was the issue.

They also wont allow to file SafeT claims if the refund was issued through AtoZ, but i believe you already knew that.

Seller support is as usual - useless. They are not able to figure out why the order is not eligible for a safe-t claim. Keep getting emails once in 3 days saying case is being worked on by a different group. Been 4 weeks already.

I just had this happen on a $200 item, Customer requested a return, it's auto approved then 2 days later they refund him with out it being returned, Then blame me for refunding it.
