Dear Amazon,

I hope you don't get burned in hell over this. That sure would suck.

Dear Amazon,

So, unless I am mistaken, Amazon pays YOU every week, right? I haven't been paid my Amazon in months. It sure must be nice to collect a paycheck and all....

Day 51

Dear Amazon,

Yesterday, I filed the following letter with the Better Business Bureau. They responded back to me today, saying they forwarded the letter over to you. I wonder if anything will happen because of it? I was not surprised to see the thousands of complaints before mine. I WAS surprised that despite thousands of complaints, you were still in good standing.

"The feedback system is one sided, and impossible to keep a clean record. As a result, one morning I woke up and found a negative, a neutral, and a claim against my company. Without giving me time to correct any of these issues, my account was shut down, and told I would not be paid for 90 days, this was 50 days ago.

I have written to the company every single day requesting my money back. There is simply no morally justifiable reason for this. They say it's to protect MY customer, but I have respected my customers more than Amazon has respected me.

I have inventory still on my shelf, and the business has all but closed. Because of Amazon's unfair seller practices, I have thousands on my shelf, and thousands "on hold".

This is more than inconvenient, I genuinely can no longer even put food on my table, and that is the truth. The company stands behind "Section 2" on the agreement that says they can hold all my money. The part about paying me every two weeks for money that I earned, is simply ignored.

Amazon is collecting 3 months worth of interest on MY money. This is simply unacceptable. They do this because in the time it takes to file a small claims, they will have already returned the money. This is just legal sidestepping.

I have had to return $1000 to customers for no particular reason, other than to try and protect my investment.

I could go on for an hour, but the bottom line is this: My business was railroaded, the company does not care how this has affected me or my family, I have thousands in inventory, and the company still owes me thousands."

Dear Amazon,

If there happens to be a problem with the sale at this point, it's the buyers own fault. It's been 46 days. How would be my fault? Why should I give a refund? I shouldn't, and that's why you need to return my money to me.

Day 45

Dear Amazon,

Well, this is it, the half way point. 45 emails ignored because of Section 2. It clearly does not matter how much financial distress I am in, your company simply does not care. I honestly can't believe that you threw away a good, honest seller because some project dwellers that don't know how to contact Customer Support before leaving negative feedback. Not to mention how your system blatantly ignores the 100+ buyers that could not be bothered to leave feedback at all. Would you propose I go to their house begging for feedback? Maybe I could get it at gunpoint? Just to offset some silly math equation? If you don't want me to sell for you, that's fine. Just give me my money back, I earned it.

It bothers me how the crazy people of this world blow up, and shoot up, schools, malls and offices... And yet no one can be bothered to get up off their lazy American asses and blow up any of your facilities. You, eBay, and PayPal need to feel some of the pain you are causing.

Dear Amazon,

In the past month, I have told you how I can't pay my mortgage or put food on the table. I've talked about how I had to write hardship letters to my creditors. I've explained how I stand behind my products, and how I value my customers. Even the crappy ones you sent me. I have been nice, I have been sarcastic, and I have been flat out mean. Yet, amazingly, you guys are completely oblivious to the damage you are doing. You simply do not care.

If the Michael Moore Documentary about eBay and PayPal is true, I am going to make sure that they don't forget about Amazon.com. It just wouldn't be fair if eBay got all the attention when you guys are just as bad.

"It's my money, and I want it now!"

You see, this is in reference to the TV commercial where people hang out the windows screaming about how they want their money back. Since this email is likely being directed to India, Budapest or some other cow worshiping country, I thought I would explain it to you.

Day 26

Dear Amazon,

Over the past few months, your company has sent me some really low life customers. Many of them seemed to be illiterate Project Dwellers. About 90% of the returned products had nothing wrong with them. Then, for my trouble, I would get negative feedback. You may have kicked me off, but I am so much happier now that I don't have to deal with the scum your company was referring to me. Very rude and demanding people. Whine Whine Whine. That's what I would get for many of my sales, that simply do not happen on other sites where the buyers have half a clue.
