Introduction to the Structure, Logistics, Process & Procedures of Amazon Seller Arbitrations
So in today’s video, I’m going to talk about the logistics and structure of arbitration against Amazon.
Amazon seller arbitrations: so you or your lawyer drafted a demand for arbitration. (If you hire a lawyer, I hope you’re using me and my team).
You’ve then selected an arbitrator. The fees have been paid. Amazon has been served and responded.
Now it’s time for your preliminary hearing, and it sounds really fancy for what’s nothing more than a scheduling conference.
During that phone call or Zoom call, Amazon is going to try and push everything out as long as possible, they will try to delay your case, they will try to delay having to give you documentation. We’re going to fight hard to get everything done as soon as possible.
One of the most important things you need to know about is that if your case is an expedited case, meaning you’re seeking an award of $50,000 or less, you have the right under the American Arbitration Association’s rules to INSIST, not ask, to insist upon your hearing occurring within 30 days of that scheduling phone call.
So that is what a preliminary hearing is. It’s scheduling a phone call. The most important thing is insisting on your hearing within 30 days if it’s an expedited arbitration.
