Amazon agrees to proposed $309.5 million settlement in refund lawsuit
Amazon has agreed to a proposed $309.5 million settlement fund, pending court approval, to settle a class-action lawsuit that claimed the company sometimes delayed refunds or even charged customers after they'd already been paid back.
Amazon says it didn't do anything wrong, and the court hasn't found that Amazon violated any law or engaged in misconduct, but it is still moving forward with the settlement.
Seattle hearing set March 16, 2027
The deal isn't final yet. A judge in Seattle will decide on March 16, 2027, at 10am in Seattle, Washington.
If approved, people who initiated a return to Amazon or requested a refund for a physical product purchased through Amazon.com between September 5, 2017, and February 12, 2026, could get compensation.
Subclass A members will automatically receive a payment under the settlement, but they must visit the settlement website within 105 days after the court grants final approval to select their preferred payment method.
