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?

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

I've seen this play out several times in my field.

In my case, it took about 2-4 months to resolve. The key was hiring an attorney to send the initial letter.

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Been there. Here's what I learned.

I ended up filing with the appropriate government agency, which cost about $4-8 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

The biggest mistake people make in this situation is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

I practice in this area. Here's my take on the legal issues.

There are several legal theories that could apply here. The strongest is probably Regulation E, which requires showing an unauthorized electronic fund transfer.

I'd recommend documenting everything in writing from this point forward. Keep copies of all communications.

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

In my case, it took about 1-3 months to resolve. The key was escalating to a supervisor/manager.

I ended up having everything documented, which cost about $3-6 but saved me a lot more in the long run.

Following this thread — I'm in a very similar situation. Would love to hear how it turns out.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's bar association? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services.

I've dealt with this before.

NAL, but from what I've read, you should document everything. That said, definitely get a lawyer to look at the specifics.

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