Practice Overview: Arbitration & Dispute Resolution

Arbitration & Dispute Resolution: Resolving Concerns without Litigation

If you have a business dispute, Amazon dispute, or Amazon suspension, a neutral arbitration may be the solution.

Sometimes, no matter how hard sellers work to play by the rules and provide information requested by Amazon, the Amazon Seller Performance team still does not help. If you’ve submitted multiple Plans of Actions for a suspended product or account to Amazon and received the dreaded “We may not respond to further messages” email, arbitration may be the solution. By taking the decision out of Amazon’s hands and giving power to a neutral third-party, you can present your arguments to an unbiased party and let them make the final decision.

Your Amazon Arbitration Team

Use Arbitration to Get Your Account/Product Reinstated

When Amazon refuses to release your hard-earned funds or withholds your inventory, you have a right to use arbitration to get it back. Every Amazon Seller is entitled to seek reinstatement of suspended accounts or products, and if Amazon’s internal teams unfairly issue denials you can use arbitration to get reinstated. Have you faced unfair denials from Seller Performance, Product Quality, or the Jeff Bezos Escalation Team? Using arbitration, you can take the reinstatement decision out of Amazon’s hands and give it to a trained and neutral arbitrator.

Benefits of Arbitration

Arbitration is a serious benefit to sellers who have had their funds, inventory, or selling privileges unfairly withheld by Amazon. Arbitration is an easy out-of-court process that allows  sellers to use a neutral and independent third party to resolve their claims against Amazon. Additionally, through arbitration, Sellers are able to obtain a judgement from the arbitrator, which is binding upon both parties. If the arbitrator agrees that Amazon acted unfairly, they can order Amazon to reinstate your account, and Amazon will comply.
