Default Anyone got a notification of legal action from Amazon?

Got a few closed UK accounts which have accrued storage fees for stock that I cant get out of FBA. It sure starts to add up when you have a few thousand units in a few accounts. I have tried repeatedly with multiple emails to get the stock back but I dont get a response to my emails. Even tried the MD.

I have now received notification of legal action to reclaim the negative balances on the amazon accounts, anyone else experienced notification of legal action from Amazon or similar?
Thanks

I cant get access to any of them which I think means deleted. If they were suspended I think you can still get in to put a removal through.
Thanks

Yes, sounds like account is deleted.

Your stock is basically lost. If amazon delete an account these days its usually down to fraud which includes counterfeit goods etc.

They can do this legally as its in the T&C you agreed to.

Sorry

The stock is gone for.

These items you were selling. Are you 100% sure of their origin and authenticity?

That means nothing, maybe the wholesaler is passing counterfeit onto you.

Your onus as a seller was to check authenticity yourself and not take the word of any other party.

Sorry.

If one has enough capital to purchase a well connected lawyer, this would mean nothing if the T&C goes against the jurisdiction own law. It'd just void the contract.

A lot of people have tried and failed...

A lot of people have had their accounts deleted because they were selling questions items. If you cannot prove 100% that your items are totally above board then your really fighting a loosing battle

You do have to wonder if the terms and conditions would really stand up in a court of law?

If you got that far down the line, wouldnt Amazon have to provide evidence that the items were counterfeit (by contacting the manufacturer or supplier?), because they took the action to hold them and close the account.

I think they just use customer feedback and if they have any questions over authenticity close the account.

With Amazon you never get to the point where you can find out

They will send information request after request and tie you up in legalities for months / years

It would be down to you to prove the items are real, not Amazon to prove the are not real.

This is like the opposite world. Shouldn't Amazon provide proof to you first to support their claim that you are selling false goods? This way they can go around making such claims based on nothing at all.

You really need to be making sure the items you sell are 100% authentic before you sell them anyway, so provide this proof would not really be an issue

If you want to not do that research to make sure items are 100% above board then you risk getting your account deleted

No, people with capital have tried and not succeeded.

ofcourse they wouldn't lol.

People don't seem to understand in the UK theres the small claims court that costs like £20 to sort things like this, its not the US where you need a expensive 'attorney'.

T&C's mean nothing, exactly why royal mail never reply to any small claims regarding them only refunding the purchase cost of the item when they lose them rather than the sales price

That was because either:
a) the capital was not high enough
or
b) the lawyer was not connected enough
