Amazon sellers have a voice too, I won’t give up



Hello everyone, thank you for reading my story.

For many who don't know me, I'm the world's most active Amazon Seller Forums contributor with almost 40000 posts as a whole, known under the username Kika (in Europe) and AngelicPretty (in the USA).

I have already been selling on the website since senior high school and since I dedicated my entire life to helping the Seller Community without expecting anything in return.

Other Amazon sellers are like a family group in my experience, I spend all my leisure time assisting them whenever I am needed, whatever the hour of the day.

I never turned them down and you wouldn't hear me saying one bad word about anyone or even Amazon, regardless of the circumstances. I always promoted their values and communicated with my peers in the absolute most respectful and polite manner.

Despite all my dedication and effort, I have now been a defenseless victim of cruel unprovoked abuse, cyberbullying and harassment from several users on the website (who are in the age of my grandparents), which left me feeling suicidal.

Since all my desperate requests for help addressed to Amazon moderators responsible for the forums were ignored for months, I kept complaining about them singling me out and not taking any action about the numerous well-coordinated aggressors who couldn't tolerate my presence on the site.

Eventually, on 11.November the key Amazon Forums moderator Susan (SeaMod) decided to eliminate the situation by mercilessly permanently banning me on the UK and US forum without giving me grounds or any option to dispute the action and placing a seriously defamatory message on my profile, despite I never violated the rules at all, while allowing all the users who have been abusing me for months to remain on the site.

Within a hour following this happened, I had been in a taxi to the Vienna airport, that has been then followed by a journey to London where in actuality the Amazon Europe Headquarters are based.



While tens and thousands of outraged Amazon sellers are protesting what happened, the forum moderators involved are trying to hide all evidence by immediately removing any content criticizing them and issuing a ban to the author, silencing all attempts of town to guide me on the Amazon site or expose their actions, which seriously violate the organization values.

I will do my best to reach justice, clear my name following the misery that was enforced on me Amazon sellers have a voice too without any explanation and return back to the community.

Unfortunately, the legal fees and additional expenses are actually hitting countless amounts of pounds and I'm expecting them to only increase.

Since a lot of you reached out to me that you'd be willing to guide me via a GoFundMe page, I decided to give it a take to, despite I'm normally not someone I won’t give up who requests anything but rather gives.

This is simply not about money at all, as I understand that I am not going to raise enough to cover my expenses and there tend to be more important causes which need financial support, not me. But we have to show Amazon what is happening on the site.

Maybe you'll read this story and say how I am wasting my time and I would simply find an alternative thing to do, but everybody has their hobbies and that one is an important one for me. Within my spare time, outside of the internet I'm volunteering a great deal, helping people where I can. Also, how is it right for the bullies to manage to escape with their actions?

If it absolutely was very easy, I could have contacted Amazon and shown all of them the evidence of abuse I've, however the organization is unreachable and doesn't offer sellers any official channels how to touch base for help.

I Amazon sellers have a voice too would like to be provided with the choice to personally meet an Amazon representative of the Executive Seller Relations department, who can listen if you ask me and review the entire matter, as this affects the whole seller community.

I recognize that Amazon is the world's most popular company and I am merely a powerless girl, but I am not stopping and I is going to do everything possible to have things made right.

Thanks everyone from the bottom of my heart :))
