How to Complain to Amazon and Get Your Money Back

Amazon is the world's largest online retailer. If Amazon wrongfully charged you, refused a refund on a missing or damaged item, or a third-party seller scammed you, you have rights under consumer protection law. Amazon frequently ignores customer service calls — a formal complaint letter citing consumer protection law gets significantly faster results.

Common Amazon complaints

  • Missing or stolen package marked as delivered
  • Wrongful charge or unauthorized subscription
  • Refund refused for damaged or incorrect item
  • Account suspended without explanation
  • Third-party seller fraud or counterfeit product
  • Prime membership charge dispute

Your legal rights when disputing Amazon

A verbal complaint to Amazon's customer service rarely produces results. A formal written complaint letter citing the specific consumer protection laws that apply to your situation puts legal pressure on Amazon to respond. These are the laws and regulatory bodies that govern Amazon complaints:

Applicable Laws

  • ·FTC Mail, Internet, or Telephone Order Merchandise Rule (US)
  • ·California Consumer Legal Remedies Act (US-CA)
  • ·Consumer Protection Act (Ontario, Canada)
