My guess this will lead to a internal Correction of Error (COE) report and there will be some change to either reduce false positives or increase the velocity of addressing them by making some systematic change.

Ha! Amazon has had this velocity issue locking up legitimate funds for a decade. It's a feature, not a bug. They know it locks up funds for legitimate sellers but they don't really care that much about their 3rd party sellers and they get to retain a lot of cash for longer than usual anyway. It won't get fixed.

I think you vastly underestimate the degree to which Amazon's actions are shaped by ongoing, pervasive fraud by 3rd party sellers.

Your reply doesn't make sense. He said they won't fix it. You said he's wrong because he's not thinking about fraud. But not fixing it is better for preventing fraud anyway. So you both basically said they won't fix it.

First poster implied Amazon does this to retain more cash. Second implied they do it to prevent fraud instead.

I just mentioned that retaining more cash is a plus for them and yet another reason they won't fix it.

If this is anything like Quality Assurance at manufacturing companies than this COE will be pure performance designed to look like action without anyone having to do more than the bare minimum to look like the problem is resolved.

Can those who have downvoted me here explain why? This was my genuine experience working in a GMP company and I would like to know if this is not the norm.
