Hello everyone, thanks for reading my story.
For people who don't know me, I'm the world's most active Amazon Seller Forums contributor with almost 40000 posts as a whole, known beneath the username Kika (in Europe) and AngelicPretty (in the USA).
I have been selling on the website since senior school and from the time I dedicated my entire life to helping the Seller Community without expecting anything in return.
Other Amazon sellers are like a family group if you ask me, I spend all my free 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 as well as Amazon, regardless of circumstances. I always promoted the company's values and communicated with my peers in the most respectful and polite manner.
Despite all my dedication and effort, I have been a defenseless victim of cruel unprovoked abuse, cyberbullying and harassment from several users on the website (who are in age my grandparents), which left me feeling suicidal.
Since all my desperate requests for help addressed to Amazon moderators accountable for the forums were ignored for months, I kept complaining about them singling me out and not taking any action concerning 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 problem by mercilessly permanently banning me on both the UK and US forum without giving me a reason or any option to dispute the action and placing a seriously defamatory message on my profile, despite I never violated the guidelines by any means, while allowing all of the users who've been abusing me for months to keep on the site.
In just a hour after this happened, I was already in a taxi to the Vienna airport, that was then followed closely by a journey to London where in actuality the Amazon Europe Headquarters are based.
While 1000s of outraged Amazon sellers are protesting what happened, the forum moderators involved are attempting to hide all evidence by Amazon sellers have a voice too immediately removing any content criticizing them and issuing a ban to the writer, silencing all attempts of the city to support me directly on the Amazon site or expose their actions, which seriously violate the business values.
I can do my best to reach justice, clear my name after the misery that was enforced on me without explanation and return back once again to the community.
Unfortunately, the legal fees and additional expenses happen to be hitting countless amounts of pounds and I'm expecting them to Amazon sellers have a voice too only increase.
Since many of you reached out if you ask me that you would be willing to guide me via a GoFundMe page, I decided to give it a take to, despite I'm normally not a person who requests anything but rather gives.
This is simply not about money at all, as I know that I'm not going to boost enough to cover my expenses and there are more important causes which need financial support, not me. But we need to show Amazon what is happening on their site.
Maybe you'll read this story and say how I'm wasting my time and I ought to simply find an alternative move to make, but everyone has their hobbies and this one is an important one for me. Within my spare time, not in the internet I'm volunteering a great deal, helping people where I can. Also, how could it be right for the bullies to be able to break free with their actions?
If it absolutely was very easy, I might have contacted Amazon and shown them all the proof of abuse I have, however the company is unreachable and doesn't offer sellers any official channels how exactly to reach out for help.
I would like I won’t give up to be given the possibility to personally meet an Amazon representative of the Executive Seller Relations department, who is able to listen if you ask me and review the entire matter, as this affects the entire seller community.
I recognize that Amazon is the world's most popular company and I'm only a powerless girl, but I'm not giving up and I is going to do everything possible to have things made right.
Many thanks everyone from the bottom of my heart :))
