In recent years, the growth of e-commerce has led to a rise in lawsuits by unhappy customers. For small businesses that sell on Amazon, this can be an even more difficult problem because they are often unable to take advantage of the protections offered by other companies like Square or PayPal. Unhappy customers will sometimes sue both parties involved in their transaction, leading to uncertainty about which company might be responsible for damages should the customer win his or her case.
This is where amazon web sellers liability insurance comes into play. It protects sellers against potential financial loss if a customer successfully sues them for breach of contract and/or fraud, as well as negligence claims arising from product defects. The best part about these policies is that it doesn't matter.
