Today, I am sharing you a real incident from one of the sellers, who are selling on Amazon India. If you are an Amazon seller and directly shipping products by using own courier service then it will be the biggest losses for you. Maybe you have already faced this problem. If yes then support this post to share with others.
Here at the same time, Amazon directly refunds the full amount to the buyer. The Fraud Buyer receives the full payment with the original item (without paying anything).
Seller Solution :
The seller can file SAFE-T Claim on Amazon if received wrong items as a return. The seller must create a video while receiving and opening return items then send information to this email id safe-t-review@amazon.in
If you are lucky, then you will get the amount from Amazon.
If you have lots of products then create your own shopping website and provide 100% satisfaction to your customer. One day you will be the winner of the race.
Amazon or other marketplaces should provide an open delivery service. Means tell to all customers to open their order or parcel in front of courier boy.
Inform to the buyer, that always create a short video while taking the delivery of an item or opening parcel.
Marketplaces should have a special investigation team to find delivery errors. They should check how much weight delivered to the customer and how much weight he is returning back in the parcel.
If any buyer found in this type of fraud activity, take legal action against the buyer.
In last
I would say, don't waste your time and money by selling on these marketplaces. Launch your own online shopping website just like a physical shop.
Because if you are reseller/dealer/ distributor of any company's product. Almost all dealers/reseller receive 15 to 20% profit. Then how you can pay 10-15% selling fees on these marketplaces? You must think about it if you are a victim of fraud buyers on Marketplaces.

What happening?
On Amazon marketplace, there are a group of fraud buyers who are ordering the costly items from seller's listing or store. And the same day of delivery, fraud buyer does place a return request on Amazon.It seems okay, then where is the issue? :
Amazon is accepting returns without verification from the customer, Delivery Courier, and sellers. They just accept the fake item from the buyer by using third party courier and delivering directly to the seller. There are lots of fraud buyers are doing this fraudulent activity with the sellers.Let's understand it by using an example -
If a buyer placed an order on Amazon for Rs.5000 product, and the same day of delivery he places return request on Amazon. Amazon's third party return pickup courier accept anything from buyers like fake item, dead item or any other item in place of the original item. After that, they deliver the wrong item to the seller.Here at the same time, Amazon directly refunds the full amount to the buyer. The Fraud Buyer receives the full payment with the original item (without paying anything).
Seller's losses :
- The seller lost his order or costly item
- The seller lost commission or selling fees

What is the real solution?
Don't sell on Amazon or any marketplace by using selfship courier services. You can handover inventory to the marketplace for fulfillment if needed.If you have lots of products then create your own shopping website and provide 100% satisfaction to your customer. One day you will be the winner of the race.
What is the solution for the marketplaces like Amazon?
I am giving just ideas -Amazon or other marketplaces should provide an open delivery service. Means tell to all customers to open their order or parcel in front of courier boy.
Inform to the buyer, that always create a short video while taking the delivery of an item or opening parcel.
Marketplaces should have a special investigation team to find delivery errors. They should check how much weight delivered to the customer and how much weight he is returning back in the parcel.
If any buyer found in this type of fraud activity, take legal action against the buyer.
