I've had an account with Amazon.com for several years buying goods without a single problem. On Tuesday (15/12/09) I started listing items for sale.By Thursday night I found out that I had 4 sales totaling $300. The following day I mark the orders shipped then 6 hours later I receive an email stating that my account is closed for policy violation and my funds are to be held for 90 days (a copy of the email is below).
I've asked them to elaborate on this decision, but no real answer, just another copy/paste of the same email again.
After some research on Amazon.com I found out that several people are in the same situation but with bigger funds being held. I consider myself very lucky.
If just 10,000 members (compared to the 40M actual Amazon members) get their funds held for 90 days each one averaging $500 that's $5,000, 000.00 / Amazon is making about $200,000.00 each month on Interest. That is $2.4 million / year.
That is enough to take care of 50 employees' payrolls.
I could be wrong or I could be right... But the real facts are with Amazon and God!
