Remember that messages between the seller and customer should only be for product inquiries. If the customer changes the subject and starts to ask questions about shipping, returns or delivery dates, you should direct them to Amazon’s Customers Service.
If you end up receiving an inappropriate message from a customer, you can always report the message. To do so, you click on report message button → then select the appropriate reason for reporting → click report message to submit.
