Amazon Third-Party Seller Class Action - Claim Form Pending
You may be part of a new class action lawsuit against Amazon over allegations that the company used anti discounting policies to keep prices higher across online marketplaces. The judge certified a nationwide consumer class and the case is now moving forward, but there is no claim form yet.
What is the Total Settlement Amount?
There is no settlement at this time. Any payment amounts will depend on a future settlement or a trial verdict.
How Do I Qualify For a Payout?
The certified class covers all persons in the United States who, on or after May 26, 2017, purchased five or more new, physical goods from third party sellers on Amazon's Marketplace. Orders that show Sold by Amazon are not third party purchases.

How Much Can I Get Paid?
It is too early to know. Any payout depends on the size of a future settlement or judgment and how many valid claims are filed. With a very large class, per person payments are often modest unless the fund is substantial.
How Do I File a Claim?
You cannot file a claim yet. If there is a settlement, the Court will appoint a settlement administrator to create an official website with a claim form, deadlines, and instructions. Until then, no action is required to remain in the class.
What is the Claim Form Deadline?
No deadline has been set. A claim deadline will only be set after preliminary approval of a settlement. Claim periods are typically open for 90 to 180 days once notice issues.
What are the Important Dates?
• Class period (qualifying purchases made in this period of time) begins: May 26, 2017
• Class certification: September 2, 2025
• Future dates for notice, opt outs, objections, and claims will be set only if a settlement is reached or after trial.
When Will the Claim Form Be Available?
The claim form is not available yet. A claim form will only be created if there is a settlement or a verdict that awards damages. At that point, the Court will approve notice and a claim period. This can take several years after class certification.
Will Proof Be Required?
It has not been decided yet. In many consumer class actions, administrators verify eligibility using company records, so receipts or documentation may not be required. If proof is needed, the official claim form will list what to provide.
Is There a Website Yet? When Will It Be Available?
No official settlement website exists yet. A website will only be launched if there is a settlement or a damages award. The Court will appoint a settlement administrator (such as Angeion, JND, or Epiq) to create the site, which will host the claim form, deadlines, and FAQs.
Will the Class Action Get Settled After Certification?
Certification means the case can move forward as a class, but it does not guarantee a settlement. Many class actions do settle after certification because the risk of a trial increases pressure on the defendant. However, some cases continue through trial and appeals. Settlement can happen before or after certification, but certification often makes settlement more likely.
When is the class action settlement payment date?
No payments are scheduled. If the case settles, payments usually occur 6 to 12 months after final approval, depending on appeals and claim processing.
Case Background
The class action lawsuit alleged that Amazon enforced policies that punished third party sellers for offering lower prices on other sites, which removed price competition and raised prices that consumers paid. Amazon denies wrongdoing. The Court certified the class after a hearing on August 1, 2025 and issued a written order entered on September 2, 2025.
