Proof Required?
This is not a settlement and there is no claim form or payout. It is a court-ordered class certification notice in the antitrust lawsuit De Coster v. Amazon.com, Inc., which alleges Amazon's pricing policies inflated prices for shoppers who bought from third-party Marketplace sellers. The case is still in active litigation, with trial set for June 2027. The only action a class member can take right now is to opt out — nothing needs to be filed to stay in the class.

Who Is Eligible?

You may be eligible to file a claim if you:

  • You are a person in the United States who, on or after May 26, 2017, purchased five or more new physical goods from third-party sellers on Amazon's Marketplace.
  • Orders marked "Sold by Amazon" do not count toward the five-item threshold.
  • Roughly 288 million shoppers are automatically included — you do not need to sign up to be a class member.

How Much Can You Get?

There is no payout at this time. No settlement has been reached, there is no fund, and no money is available. If the plaintiffs win or settle in the future, a separate claims process would be announced later. For now, being in the class costs nothing and requires no action.

How to File Your Claim

The administrator has not published a claim form for this settlement. The steps below are what filing will involve once one exists.

  • There is nothing to file to receive money — no claim form exists because the case has not settled.
  • To stay in the class (and keep any right to a future recovery), simply do nothing.
  • To opt out — if you would rather preserve the right to sue Amazon separately — mail a signed, dated exclusion request postmarked by August 31, 2026, per the instructions at the official case site AmazonAntitrustLitigation.com. Opting out means you give up any share of a future class recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the deadline to file a claim for the Amazon Class Action: Are You In? Opt Out by Aug 31, 2026?

The current deadline to file a claim is Aug 31, 2026. Claims sent by mail must be postmarked by this date, so allow about a week for delivery if you are not filing online.

Do I need proof of purchase for the Amazon Class Action: Are You In? Opt Out by Aug 31, 2026?

No proof of purchase is required — you can typically file based on a sworn statement, without receipts, photos, or product packaging. Note: some settlements still require a Claimant ID or PIN from a mailed notice; if this one does, it will be shown on the official claim form.

How do I file a claim for the Amazon Class Action: Are You In? Opt Out by Aug 31, 2026?

File directly with the settlement administrator, using the official claim form linked on this page. Class Action Buddy does not support this settlement in the app, so the administrator’s own claim process is the route. Check whether the form asks for an ID or PIN from the notice you were sent before you start.

Is there money to claim right now?

No. This is a class certification notice, not a settlement. There is no fund, no claim form, and no payment available. The case is still being litigated, with trial set for June 2027.

Do I need to do anything to stay in the class?

No. If you qualify you are automatically included and do not need to sign up. Staying in preserves any right to share in a future recovery if the case succeeds.

What is the August 31, 2026 deadline?

That is the deadline to opt out (exclude yourself). You would only opt out if you want to keep the right to sue Amazon on your own. A signed, dated exclusion letter must be postmarked by August 31, 2026.

Who is included?

U.S. shoppers who, since May 26, 2017, bought five or more new physical goods from third-party sellers on Amazon's Marketplace. Items sold directly by Amazon do not count.
