Troubleshooting SOP: How to Email Seller Executive Relations

Who is this for? This is for all individuals and sellers that are unable to resolve their issues through seller support help. 
Objective: This SOP aims to provide clear guidance and knowledge about How we can escalate our any major issue where we have no clear solution or If we can't resolve our issues through seller support help. Shortly, We can contact Amazon Seller Executive Relations in case where seller support team is unable to help us.

Summary:
Executive Chairman of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has an email address where sellers can send feedback and complaints, jeff@amazon.com and 911@amazon.com, which the Seller Executive Relations Team manages. We can reach out to them to escalate any major issue we have no clear solution to or If we can't resolve our issues through seller support help.

NOTE:

It’s best to send an email to Seller Executive Relations if the cases you’ve sent go nowhere or if you feel that you’re not getting enough support from the seller, ads, or brand registry support team.

To accomplish this:

  • Instead of writing "Dear Jeff," phrase your greeting as "Dear Seller Executive Relations."
  • Don't forget to add the Merchant ID or Token to the email body.

    Where to find the Merchant ID?
    Step 1. Go to Account Info under Settings.


Step 2. Click Merchant Token under Business Information.

Step 3. Grab the Merchant ID. 

  • Provide a brief but detailed description of the problem, the ticket IDs if available, the action we need Amazon to do to remedy the issue, and how we tried to resolve the issue on our end before contacting them directly.

What Information to Provide in the Email Body:

  • Merchant token
  • A detailed but to-the-point description of your problem
  • Previous case ids
  • Batch IDs
  • Product documents (e.g., manufacturer invoice, letter of authorization, CPC, product packaging images, etc.)

Remember:

Put relevant information and documents in the email. Refrain from telling a long story and providing much information. Just stick to the issue that’s causing the resolution on a roadblock. For example, if you have no issue with the manufacturer invoice, don’t include it in the email.

Our Legal Business Name needs to be changed from the owner's name (****) & SSN to the new company name (**** LLC) and Employer Identification Number (EIN).

We updated our tax information during the second week of February and submitted our W-9, EIN, and Business Account Application forms. We mailed them too. Nevertheless, the legal business name remains the same.

We have called Seller Support twice now but gave us the same response of retaking the tax information interview but there's no option to do that, rather it's asking us to wait.

Please look into this issue and update our legal business name under legal entity to *** LLC
