Re: Amazon Stole Funds
 

Yes, that's the right direction.

On legal rights: it is in the TOS, you give the rights to them when you eagerly click YES and beg to join Amazon seller community. And trust me, legally, it is waterproof, you can't challenge that clause in court.

On intention: Amazon contacts you and offers a recourse for conditional return. A thief stays out of sight (forever) after it runs away with your property.

Now you see why I said the OP abused the words "thief" and "steal'?

Again, I have no idea whether the OP was entirely honest (a question raised multiple times throughout this threat). This point is not important. I just do not like his name-calling on Amazon as if he fell prey to some kind of evil scheme.

Only one Federal Court (ninth circuit) found the contract wasn't an unconscionable contract as applied to the terms of the case. It wasn't even a published opinion so it isn't binding on another court of panel with different facts. There's arguments to be made that it is, and I'm sure the punitive class that is pending against them is still dealing with those arguments.

Amazon has offered him no recourse here. They accused, they took, they ignore. Once again, you're being pedantic.

You're defending Amazon like they are your own. Amazon has crushed big and small for years, they're trash to their own warehouse employees...but sure, whine about someone saying they stole thousands off of them after FALSELY accusing them of theft because of the words he used. Amazon is perfection, we're just mere mortals ungrateful for their many blessings of book store closures, employee mistreatment, failing to deliver prime within 2 days. Let them bestow their wisdom upon thee for the infallible corporate overlord that they are.

Johnwick1,

What is your situation?

I spoke to two lawyers about arbitration, including one who specializes in Amazon disputes. They said it probably isn't worth it unless the balance they stole is much higher then $8k.

Have you thought about just doing it on your own? If you're in CA you can even request waiver of the AA Firm fees to start the dispute. It isn't ideal, but hey it's worth a shot if you don't want to pay legal fees.
