4. Provide evidence screenshots or documents: If you have relevant supporting materials or screenshots, you can upload them on the report page, which will help strengthen your report evidence.
5. Submit the report: After clicking the “Submit” button, Amazon will process your report within 24 hours and take corresponding measures according to the situation.
