Why This Happens

Amazon's A-to-Z Guarantee protects buyers and allows them to file claims directly with Amazon when dissatisfied. These claims directly impact your Order Defect Rate (ODR) and Account Health Rating. Multiple A-to-Z claims can trigger account suspension. Unlike regular returns, A-to-Z claims are adjudicated by Amazon and count against your performance metrics even if you disagree.
