Amazon has been hit with a £1 billion damages claim filed against it by UK retailers in a massive collective action.
It was filed last week on behalf of retailers selling on Amazon’s UK marketplace for allegedly “misusing their data and manipulating the Amazon Buy Box to benefit its own commercial operation and its overall revenues and profit”.
It’s the biggest collective action ever launched by UK retailers and is being brought by the British Independent Retailers Association (BIRA) on behalf of retailers at the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) in London.
It asserts that between October 2025 and the present date, Amazon used non-public data belonging to UK retailers on the company’s marketplace “in combination with manipulating the Amazon Buy Box, to engage in a product entry strategy that resulted in sales revenue and profits being diverted from these retailers to Amazon”.
BIRA said that “such commercially valuable and confidential information helps Amazon decide whether to enter a new product segment based on its earnings and sales potential, which elements of the product to copy, how to price an item, and which consumers to target. That information in combination with the Buy Box, meant Amazon knew it could successfully enter and take away profits from UK retailers”.
The retailers are said to have been unaware that Amazon was doing this.
The UK is Amazon’s biggest European market and in 2025 the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) opened a probe, raising concerns that Amazon’s access to ‘commercially sensitive data’ relating to third-party retailers could give it an advantage in deciding which products to sell and how to set prices.
Amazon reportedly offered a number of commitments and agreed to appoint an independent trustee, approved by the CMA, to monitor the company’s compliance with its commitments going forward.
In relation to the latest case, an Amazon spokesperson told The Guardian: “We have not seen this complaint, but based on the reporting so far we are confident that it is baseless and that this will be exposed in the legal process.
“Over 100,000 small and medium sized businesses in the UK sell on Amazon’s store, more than half of all physical product sales on our UK store are from independent selling partners, and the fact is that we only succeed when the businesses we work with succeed.”
