So I bought a product for €200 on Amazon.com. I am slightly ashamed of doing so but I did, didn’t know where else to find this type of product. So after a few days they told me they would not be sending me the product for whatever reason. So I would be getting a refund. They said if I hadn’t gotten the refund within 5 days I should contact support. So after 5 days I contacted support. And as soon as I did that, they sent me an email claiming that they require me to upload a picture of my “government issued identity document”. They write that if I don’t do that “You may continue shopping on Amazon, but you will no longer be eligible for a refund on the order <order number>”. Surely they have no right to do so right? They claim they’ve noticed some suspicious behavior on my account, but all I did was order a product, pay for it in advance, which they decided not to ever deliver to me. It’s not me who’s being suspicious here.

Anyone else had this experience? This a clear dealbreaker for me. I feel shame for ever having bought something from their store.

    Do not stop contacting Amazon customer support. Occupy their resources to the maximum.

    Phone > Chat > Email

    Record time spend and demand immediate compensation at your billing rate. Never accept contacting them back again at a later date.

    Always demand their names, transcripts and email confirmation of any promises with exact match wording and check before hanging up. Then, use their own words against them.
