Frequently Asked Questions

Who is responsible — Amazon or the seller?

Check whether the listing says sold and shipped by Amazon or by a third-party seller. Marketplace guarantee programs cover many third-party problems, but the seller is often the contracting party.

The seller won't refund me — what next?

Open a marketplace claim first, then consider a card chargeback, then a provincial consumer-protection complaint. Keep the listing screenshot and all messages.

Do Canadian consumer laws apply to online purchases?

Generally yes for purchases made in Canada, and many provinces have specific protections for distance and internet contracts.
