Re: Amazon keeping funds
rsot, I filed the demand for arbitration. The filing fee was $1,000. We settled prior to formal hearing. Unfortunately, I think in most cases this is the only way Amazon sellers will get the money Amazon is threatening to permanently withhold. They're counting on people not jumping through the hoops to get the money back. I'm a licensed attorney, and in my case, the money was enough that I felt it was worth the risk of taking the matter to arbitration. Amazon has made it incredibly difficult to get the money after they arbitrarily single a seller out and accuse him/her of selling "inauthentic goods," but I don't think it's impossible to recover.
