In our experience, we have found following common legal disputes which may arise for the Amazon Seller’s.

1. Amazon Account Suspensions: Amazon Account suspension is the fastest growing problem marketplace sellers are facing. It is an attempt to crackdown on bad players. Amazon has started suspending accounts as a form of punishment. If your account is suspended Amazon may allow you to appeal the decision. But it is important to respond logically and legally because you stand to permanently lose your selling account if the account is not resolved.

2. Intellectual Property Infringements: Intellectual Property includes copyright, trademark and patent infringement. If there is a claim that you have infringed on someone’s content or product rights, not only will your account be suspended but the owner of the Intellectual Property can file a lawsuit. And if you are the legitimate owner of the Intellectual Property, it can be a quick fix by simply providing us the proper documentation and we will do the rest.

3. Competitor Dispute: Competitor dispute can run the gamut. These disputes arise when a competitor accuses another seller of improprieties.

4. Counterfeit Claims: In case of the counterfeit claims, the accusation is that the product being sold is not the product being marketed. A counterfeit item is merchandise marketed as one thing but turns out to be something else.

5. Customer Disputes: When it comes to customer disputes Amazon is put in a bad spot because they provide customer service under the FBA plan, too many complaints about a particular seller are serious for business.

6. Product Liability Claims: Legal matters arising from defective products sold on Amazon, including injuries or damages caused by the products.

7. Contract Disputes: Disagreements over terms and conditions in contracts with suppliers, manufacturers, or other parties involved in the selling process.

8. Pricing and Competition Issues: Disputes over pricing strategies, price-fixing allegations, or unfair competition practices on the platform.

9. Tax Compliance Disputes: Matters concerning sales tax collection, income tax reporting, and compliance with tax laws for Amazon sellers.
