Small claims court all the way. The demand letter alone should get their attention. Takes a few hours of your time - no lawyers needed.
Also contact any attorney general office in your state. Amazon pay is licensed as a money transmitter. Threaten their license to perform their business and they’ll start paying attention.
There’s a phone number on this page: https://pay.amazon.com/help/82972 https://pay.amazon.com/help/82972 of 866-216-1075 along with their license number and appropriate licensing agency for each state. My experience with obscure state licensing agencies is that they are looking for something to do - you bring them a slam dunk case and they will be happy to help and go to bat for you.
Edit- Amazon pay actually links to each state’s agency website here: https://pay.amazon.com/help/201310940 https://pay.amazon.com/help/201310940
If OP is out there I’ll be happy to help.
- irjustin 5y agoIs this a slam dunk case? It does seem like a winnable one where the best outcome is Amazon cuts the seller a physical check?
- ipython 5y agoThe evidence provided in the article seems pretty damning. State licensing boards don’t take too kindly to their constituents being taken advantage of. Yes ultimately the OP will end up with a physical check, I’m not saying they’re getting some huge payout or something.
- donarb 5y agoJust for good measure even if you're not in Washington state, file a claim there and possibly with the Washington State Attorney General's office. Bob Ferguson has no qualms about taking Washington companies to court to do the right thing.
