The Definitive Amazon Arbitration FAQ
Your ultimate guide to recovering funds and resolving disputes with Amazon.
Arbitration Fundamentals
Amazon arbitration is a formal, binding dispute-resolution process that takes place outside of court. It is the mandatory process required by Amazon's Business Solutions Agreement (BSA) for sellers to resolve disputes over issues like withheld funds, account suspensions, or inventory loss when all other appeals have failed.
When you signed up to be a seller, you agreed to the Amazon Services Business Solutions Agreement (BSA). This contract contains a mandatory arbitration clause, which means you waived your right to sue Amazon in a traditional court for most disputes. Instead, you must use binding arbitration, typically administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA).
The most common reasons sellers file for arbitration are to recover funds that Amazon has withheld for more than 90 days after a suspension and to seek reinstatement of an account that was unfairly deactivated. It can also be used for disputes over lost or damaged FBA inventory.
The Arbitration Process: Step-by-Step
The process involves several key stages:
- Filing a Demand: Your attorney drafts and files a "Demand for Arbitration" with the American Arbitration Association (AAA), officially starting the case.
- Arbitrator Selection: Both parties review a list of neutral arbitrators provided by the AAA and mutually agree on one to hear the case.
- Discovery & Briefing: Both sides exchange information and submit legal briefs outlining their arguments and evidence.
- The Hearing: A formal hearing is conducted (often virtually) where both sides present their case.
- The Award: The arbitrator issues a final, legally binding decision.
The timeline can vary, but a typical Amazon arbitration case takes between 4 to 9 months from the initial filing to receiving a final award from the arbitrator. The complexity of the case and the arbitrator's schedule are the primary factors.
Costs, Timelines & Outcomes
The primary costs include: 1) AAA Filing Fees: These are set by the AAA based on the amount of the claim. 2) Arbitrator Fees: The arbitrator's hourly rate, which is split between the parties. 3) Legal Fees: What you pay your attorney to represent you. We offer a free consultation to provide a clear estimate of these costs for your specific case.
If you win, the arbitrator issues a legally binding "award." This decision can order Amazon to release your withheld funds, pay damages, reinstate your account, and in some cases, reimburse you for your attorney's fees and arbitration costs. Amazon is legally obligated to comply with the award.
While no outcome is guaranteed, sellers have a strong chance of winning when represented by an experienced attorney. Arbitrators are neutral third parties who are not bound by Amazon's internal policies, especially if those policies are found to be unfair or "unconscionable" under the law. Our firm has a proven track record of successfully challenging Amazon's positions and recovering millions of dollars for our clients.
Legal Considerations & Hiring an Expert
Yes, you are permitted to represent yourself ("pro se"). However, it is strongly discouraged. Arbitration is a formal legal proceeding with complex rules, deadlines, and procedures. You will be up against Amazon's team of experienced corporate attorneys. Hiring an expert in Amazon arbitration significantly levels the playing field and improves your chance of success.
An attorney who specializes in this niche area understands the specific arguments that succeed against Amazon, knows the tendencies of AAA arbitrators, and is an expert on the Amazon Business Solutions Agreement. This specialized experience is invaluable and drastically different from general business law.
AMZ Sellers Attorney® offers comprehensive arbitration services, including a free initial case review, evidence gathering, drafting and filing the Demand for Arbitration, and providing expert legal representation throughout the entire process. With extensive experience and a track record of success, we help sellers achieve favorable outcomes.
