Just won a lawsuit against Amazon! 🥳
Do not give up and do not let them intimidate you!
Their “contract” is not ironclad and as it turns out, doesn’t always hold up in court! 😏

Was this small claims court? I believe Amazon's terms allow for that to bypass arbitration.
What are the details of the case?
Seller_rMfC1OWAKWYWf
Yes, small claims.
I was dreading this so much and having all kinds of anxiety because of everyone on these forums always putting people down for wanting to sue and yelling at them that Amazon cannot be sued because of agreement blah blah.
Turns out, it’s actually much easier and cheaper than I ever expected.
Case was for inventory that they shipped to my old address and refused to reimburse for, citing their contract and that they are not liable.
Judge thought otherwise.
Their lawyer tried to force me into arbitration and tried to limit any future similar cases to be covered by this one small claims outcome. Judge thought otherwise on all of this as well.
I guess it would ultimately depend on the courts and the judge handling the case…. I filed in my local court and their attorney attended the hearting via zoom.

This should be able to be used as a reference for other attorneys in future cases.

hey thats awesome! a rare win for 3p sellers! how much inventory and how did the court award you?

Did you represent yourself or did you hire an attorney? Can you give us a general idea of what your costs were?
This is awesome to hear, chip away at this beast and maybe they will begin to act responsibly.

General details of the action would be interesting to hear

The trick is to sue in small claims court and then let their lawyers request to move it to a higher court. By requesting the move, they should be considered as consenting to the case being heard in that court. Otherwise, in small claims court, they should be required to have a non-lawyer party represent the company. At least, that’s how it would work here in Michigan.

First off happy for you.
However, can Amazon possibly ban your account due to this lawsuit?
Seller_HP0CuTSNvJvu9
Retaliation? That sounds like grounds for another lawsuit lol
