Here's what I received from them via email.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello from Amazon.com.

A careful review of your account indicates you've experienced an extraordinary number of incidents with your orders and corresponding shipments.

In the normal course of business, the occasional problem is inevitable. The rate at which such problems have occurred on your account is extraordinary, however, and cannot continue. Effective immediately, your Amazon.com account is closed and you are no longer able to shop in our store. I am very sorry for any disappointment this may cause.

Please know that any accounts related to yours have also been closed. If you were to open a new account, the same will result and it will also be closed. In the event that you attempt to do so, we will not accept the return of any additional orders, nor will we issue further refunds in connection with any future orders. We appreciate your cooperation in refraining from using our web site.

If you require additional assistance, or have any concerns, feel free to contact us directly at account-appeals@amazon.com.

Please do not contact regular Customer Service again, as they will no longer be able to assist you.

Regards,

Account Specialist

I tried to return a damaged item to them due to their poor packaging which isn't the first time already. Now they decided to close my account. I sent them an email to find out what's going but no reply. I called their customer service and they refused to assist me. I can't return my item to them and it costs me $250, they are just simply don't want to deal with me and blacklisted me. Amazon.com is a rip-off and HORRIBLE.

Same happened to me, I got the same email from amazon on 08/27. Not sure why they did it, if returning items is not within their policy then they should change it or at least warn you before they close an account.

I received the same email as well. Their customer support has not gotten in touch with me. It's terrible. I was a good customer. They treat you like garbage and get away with it.

If you have had problems with your Amazon account unfairly and without substantive reason being closed, go here for help & help others.

I also received the same email today. I called regular Customer Service thinking that this was a spam email. Apparently it isn't. I have been a loyal Amazon.com customer for years and have made numerous purchases. True, I have returned items if it didn't meet my expectations, didn't fit, etc. I am very surprised because I have always gotten good service from them. They should send you a letter before they close your account and they should explain EXACTLY why it's being closed. The generic letter sent is horrible and is a great way of alienating current and future customers.

The CS rep I spoke with said that someone is going to call me within a couple of days - we'll see.

I did receive the letter today 08/27/2008 I did experienced only a single package lost and refunds on theirs mistaken and not calculated buy one get one offers, at the begginning it looked like either a joke or a scam.I am not currently ordering from them anymore since dvdpacific.com has lower shipping rates and almost equal prices, however I wonder if it would be better for me to complain now or when or if ll ever want to order from them again. Some action has to be taken tho, i did spend since november 2007 500$ +
and really wonder and doubt they can refuse a costumer without specyfing and prove a fraud ! I mean just reading that letter makes you think they are nuts !

Same thing happened to me today. Emailed for appeal. I've bought shoes and returned them because they didn't fit (even though I bought them the size I normally would) or that they were just really really PAINFUL to wear due to bad design or quality. I've been with them for years myself, bought I don't know how many things and KEPT them. I'm waiting for their reply. It's really badly handled by them, if the returning is the problem. I agree they should just change their policy.

They shut me down yesterday as well Loyal customer for 4-5 years with few returns and only returned if items were damaged in shipping or defective. Looks like a class action suit!!! I have pending orders that I can no longer track!! I can not look up my purchase history to print off invoices or reciepts for rebates ect... This was very wrong of them.

I received the same email yesterday too. I have been a very long-time and loyal Amazon customer. I even bought a Kindle when they released it plus many e-books for it. Guess my Kindle is now an expensive, useless paperweight. I knew it was a risk being an early adopter for the Kindle but never imagined it would be because Amazon itself would close my account, and cut off my support for the device by banning me from their website.

08/27 I received exactly the same. I delt with Amazon for quite few years and bought a lot of thing from them. I was returning items which I did not like in original condition as I do with any other store. They have now millions of customers, so they started to treat people like a piece of garbage.

Like the person with the Kindle, I can't access the contents of my digital locker either. I paid for this content but it's being held hostage. How terrible. You can't trust Amazon anymore if you ever did. I remember years ago, in 2002 or 2003, I noticed a glitch on their website and reported it. They gave me a $20 gift certificate in appreciation. Years later and hundreds of purchases later, they cut me off so abruptly! That account cancellation email they sent me was dehumanizing and cruel. I'm only going to purchase my items online at the smaller stores. I hope you guys do the same. Let's Boycott Amazon over this. I feel so disempowered as a consumer.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. I have made purchases from Amazon for the last 6 years, and spent thousands of dollars there. In January a shipment arrived one month late, and they sent another copy by that time. But even after that I have quite a few purchases from their website without any problem; and even now I have 2 pending orders which I can not track any more. They should at least warn you if they do not like you contacting their customer service.

I received the same exact email Aug. 28th, 2008 telling me my account has been closed, but I haven't returned anything to Amazon, nor bought anything/sold anything on there for a long time, so this comes as a total shock to me. There is no reason why my account should be closed. I called customer support but didn't really get any answers.

Amazon.com is the most insensitive and arrogant company ever I have come across! This company has outsourced its customer service who are a. thoroughly unaware of the word courtesy b. not prompt in helping and c. arrogant to the core.

How can they block access to one's orders placed in last 30 days when they are supposed to provide customer service for orders they got paid for.

I am sure, if somebody slaps a law suit, this company will bite the dust. Because what their employees are doing is blatantly illegal.

Same happened to me, the email came on 8/27/08. I have been a loyal customer for about 9 years and have spent thousands of dollars at the site and signed up to Prime. I order a ton of stuff from them and I have been returning some things lately, but I have never seen a policy or warning against that. Amazon has been expanding their selection to clothes, shoes and etc and these are things that have to be tried on or seen — I would imagine there would be many returns. Why not impose a limit or simply charge a restocking fee. They make the return process automated and simple, but then penalize you for it. When you sell just about everything, expect some returns. Many products are not described well either. The email was very rude and unprofessional. Customer Service told me they can't access my account and appeals dept is not replying to my emails. Disgusting. Will not shop there again.

Read my review of Amazon above.

Amazon is the MOST unprofessional online store I have EVER puchased from.

I will NEVER buy from them again.

Please WARN your family and friends!

It shows a lack of professionalism when you systematically terminate the accounts of hundreds of customers without proper warning or explanation. I believe they owe every customer a proper explanation and should ensure that this policy is clearly stated in their rules and regulations.
