Amazon Marketplace Antitrust Consumer Class Action Lawsuit
By Steve Levine
Published: December 27, 2025
Status: Active lawsuit (no settlement announced, no claim form yet)
Settlement Amount: Not announced
Claim Form Deadline: N/A
What is the Amazon Class Action About?
This is a consumer antitrust lawsuit about Amazon's Marketplace.In plain English, the lawsuit claims Amazon's rules make third-party sellers think twice before offering a lower price on other websites. The plaintiffs say that if sellers feel forced to keep their lowest price on Amazon, prices can stay higher for shoppers overall.
Amazon denies the claims.
Is There a Claim Form Right Now?
No.There is currently no official Amazon claim form for this case.
There is no claim deadline.
There are no payments being sent.
A real claim form usually appears only after a settlement is reached and the court approves a claims process, or after a final court decision that creates a distribution process.
When is a Claim Form Expected?
There is no official date yet.Best guess: if the case settles, a claim form could appear sometime in 2026 or later. Large antitrust cases often take longer, especially if the case goes to trial or an appeal.
Until a settlement (or court-ordered payout process) is announced, there will be no claim website and no way to file for money.
Latest Update: What's Happening Right Now with the Amazon Case?
As of December 2025, the case is still in the lawsuit phase, not the payout phase.The lawyers are working through the next steps, including how potential class members would be notified (if the judge approves notice) and what deadlines will apply going forward.
This does not mean Amazon has agreed to pay anyone. It simply means the court is organizing what happens next.
What Should Readers Watch For Next?
Here are the milestones that usually determine whether a claim process ever appears:• A court order about class notice and opt-out instructions.
• News of settlement talks, mediation, or a preliminary settlement agreement.
• If a settlement is reached, an official settlement website, a claim form launch date, and a claim deadline.
How Do I Find Class Action Settlements?
Find all the latest class actions you can qualify for by getting notified of new lawsuits as soon as they are open to claims:Who Could Qualify If a Claim Form Becomes Available?
No one can confirm eligibility yet because there is no settlement and no court-approved claim process.If a settlement happens in the future, the official court-approved notice will list the exact rules, including the covered dates and what Amazon purchases count.
In general, these cases often focus on U.S. consumers who bought eligible items on Amazon during the court-defined time period, but the final class definition could be narrower than "all Amazon shoppers."
How to File a Claim If One Becomes Available
If a settlement is approved in the future, filing would usually be done online through an official settlement website run by a claims administrator.The claim form typically asks for basic contact information and a confirmation that you qualify under the settlement rules. Whether proof is required depends on the final settlement terms.
How Much Money Could People Get Paid?
There is no settlement fund yet, so there is no guaranteed payout amount.If a settlement happens, payments usually depend on the total settlement amount, the number of valid claims, and the court-approved deductions for fees and administration. Any payment estimate right now would be speculation.
What Amazon Shoppers Should Do Right Now
There is nothing to file right now.If you see a message claiming you can already submit a claim for this case, treat it as unofficial unless it links to a court-approved settlement site.
If an official claim form becomes available later, it will be announced through a court-approved notice and can be updated here on OpenClassActions.com.
