What's up with that? Isn't there a law that limits liability for unauthorized purchases to $50? (And don't most banks and credit cards just make it $0?)
- dangrossman 10y agoUnder the FCBA your liability for purchases made with a lost or stolen credit card is limited if you report the use to your card issuer in a timely manner. There's no requirement that Amazon voluntarily refund all your kids' purchases, and I'm not sure that unauthorized use of an Amazon account counts as theft of the physical credit card in this case anyway.

- manarth 10y agoI'd guess that some of the products were from Amazon whilst others were from third-party vendors. As for the question of liability, there's usually a proviso for taking legal/criminal action against the perpetrator. Even if the parent wanted to take action against their child, being below the age of criminal responsibility, the parents may be legally responsible in any case.
