Claim compensation
Overview
Amazon is facing a massive legal claim in the UK over how it uses its market power.
On most Amazon product pages, there’s a section with the “Add to Basket” and “Buy Now” buttons. That area is known as the Buy Box. What many shoppers don’t realise is that multiple sellers may offer the same product – but only one seller’s offer gets placed in the Buy Box at a time.
That matters, because around 80% of Amazon sales go through the Buy Box. Most shoppers don’t browse beyond it – they just click and buy.
A legal claim says Amazon has abused its dominance by favouring its own offers or certain sellers in the Buy Box, even when cheaper options were available. Experts estimate this could have cost UK shoppers over £1 billion in overpayments.
If you purchased a product from Amazon.co.uk between 1 October 2015 and 7 June 2023, you may be due compensation.

Frequently asked questions about the Amazon overcharging claim
The Buy Box is the white box on the right-hand side of an Amazon product page – it contains the “Add to Basket” and “Buy Now” buttons. Most shoppers buy from here without checking other seller options.
The claim alleges that Amazon misused the Buy Box by promoting offers that weren’t necessarily the cheapest, pushing customers to spend more than they needed to.
Yes. The Competition Appeal Tribunal has officially approved this claim to move forward as a collective action.
This is an opt-out claim. This means, if you are eligible, you are automatically included in the group action, and could be due compensation.
However, you’ll usually need to register your details on the official claim site to receive any money you’re owed.
In other words, even though you’re automatically included unless you opt out, you may not get your compensation unless you register on the official claim site.
A group action claim allows people affected by the same issue to take action together. This strength in numbers helps stand up to big organisations.
No. Join the Claim is not a law firm. We explain what the ruling means, help you understand eligibility and signpost you to the official site.
Opt-out claims work differently to other types of legal action. If you are eligible, you are automatically included in the case unless you choose to opt out. There are no costs to be part of the claim, win or lose.
