Amazon Closed My Account

The Short: Has this happened to anyone else recently and did u get it fixed?


-------------
The Long:closed my account......saying that it's related to another account of mine that got closed (for no reason...) and none of the jokers at Amazon are doing anything about it. Every time I call, they ask for 'address verification' and tell me that an "account specialist" will get back to me in 24 hours...which hasn't happened even after calling 4 times this past week and there is no way to get in touch with them directly. QUITE frustrating...They blacklisted my credit card, email address, shipping address, and my parents' cards so it's not as if I open another account?!? Seriously haha all I order are like medical books and HDMI cables...not running a smuggling ring or something!


Anyone else have this issue and get it resolved? I've looked online and apparently I'm not the only one this is happening to. Sucks b/c I really needed some boards studying materials and had to order them from elsewhere at a much higher price b/c of this delay.


And if one of you works for amazon or has a BFF who does, anything you can do to help me get this resolved (along with final delivery of the outstanding order that THEY CHARGED me for!) would be greeeeaaatttly appreciated!

Damn dude that sucks just wait I guess till they contact you they can't ignore you forever

that's pretty weird though this is the first time im hearing of Amazon doing something like this it was probably someone with the same name as you that messed up

lol i replied by email but if anyone is in the same boat i'll copy my advice here, sorry I can't just call Jeff Bezos and get shit done hahah

GetHuman is a listing of how to get to humans at customer service at different companies. Here's their directions on how to talk to a human at Amazon to get it fixed:

In the mean time you might want to call your credit card and argue the last purchase; they'll refund you immediately.

Also stop buying cocaine on Amazon. It's not a recognized medicine anymore.

apparently posting about this issue online actually works?!

i called amazon and they had my account flagged with a note with a LINK to this page. ?! WEIRD. and just like that they reactivated my account and un-blacklisted all the credit cards with no explanation or verification details required. lol

Future SALEE EE OH saleem, that is a pretty freaking sweet website
