Re: Taking Amazon to Small claims court for not paying seller their funds?
Damn, I don't sell on Amazon, but can I really use that email to hit up Jeff Bezos? |

Re: Taking Amazon to Small claims court for not paying seller their funds?
Personally, I would locate any payments I had sent from my bank account to Amazon and start initiating chargebacks to the sum of what they owe you. |

Re: Taking Amazon to Small claims court for not paying seller their funds?
Hi
I am in the same position you was
funds now held for 14 months, last stock resonce from jeff was november, so i was looking to take them to the small claims court and was searching to see if they had kept any other sellers money.
I was selling happily for 3 years, i then tried to change address because i had moved, i was allowed to sell while they verified, they didn't verify me for 3 months and still have 2k.
What sort of letter did you send jeff, ive warned them that i would take them to court but i no nothing about court, i was selling as a private selller and purchased the goods from amazon add ons so they were all good
please help me if you would be so kind |

Not sure you can take them to small claims court. Their TOS explicitly mentions the only way to settle with Amazon is arbitration. I could be mistaken. Why did you wait 14 months? If I don't get a payout within 90 days of a suspended account, I either send a legal demand letter or go to arbitration.
| How often does the legal demand letter work? |

plenty of sellers taking them to the Small Claims Court in the UK nowadays. Letter before action to their Holborn address. Then if they don't reply its the online claims service.
Check out the main Amazon UK forums, sellers beginning to report success, most time Amazon fold beforehand so their shady robbing tactics aren't laid bare in a court.
| The problem with small claims is even if you win, you will have to enforce the claim no? And that's tough to do without heavy costs |

Re: Taking Amazon to Small claims court for not paying seller their funds?
Amazon will be changing its TOS and no longer do arbitration. Apparently they have been more successful in courts |

| Very true, first thing you learn in law school is the contract is only as good as the judge says it is. You can write whatever you want in an agreement, if its against the laws, it cannot be upheld. Amazon will lose most of not all cases for holding your money. Its a numbers game, for every 1000 peoples money they hold, and 5 take them to court, they are still way ahead. The company is being run like the mob lately. |

| it sounds like UK is different .
But yes,in US,small claims court usually ask you to use a mediator,then you face the judge.
if you win,you have to find a way to collect that money,hiring a sherriff to seize his merchandise if he has a store and auction them off,all these will cost you more than what you are trying to get back . |

Re: Taking Amazon to Small claims court for not paying seller their funds?
OH,ALSO before going to court ,you have to send by certified mail twice to show you have made an effort to collect,then go to the city and pay a fee to file a claim. |

Re: Taking Amazon to Small claims court for not paying seller their funds?
The ToS means little to nothing, and the arbitration clause is unenforceable unless a judge says otherwise, at least in my State & County.
Before filing any action, however you definitely need to do your homework and read up on case way as it applies to you. Also sending a Demand/Claim letter to the company in question by Certified Mail is an absolute requirement. The judge in my last two cases asked for that from the get go. |

If the account is totally legit , real info and products etc then contact the financial Ombudsman http://www.financial-ombudsman.org.uk/

There is no "lose" unless a Jury is there to decide |
