Attorney Paul Rafelson, executive director of the Online Merchant Guild, joins this Seller Sessions dualcast to walk through a court case defending Amazon sellers who got caught up in price-gouging investigations during the pandemic. Many were legitimate small sellers targeted by state civil investigative demands meant for bad actors.
Steve and Paul discuss how sellers can get organized and advocate for themselves collectively rather than facing enforcement actions alone. It's a look at a less-discussed legal risk of selling online, for anyone who assumes compliance headaches only come from Amazon itself.
