Wire Transfer Problem: Amazon suspended my seller account

I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

Amazon suspended my seller account. I've been dealing with this for about 10 months now and the situation isn't improving.

The amount being held/disputed is approximately $26,650. I have tried contacting customer support 8 times with no resolution.

Should I hire a lawyer for this or try to handle it myself?

This is depressingly common.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.

I think half the threads here are about this exact issue.

In my case, it took about 4-8 months to resolve. The key was filing with the appropriate government agency.
