Take who to small claims court? Amazon?





Yes. They no-show and you get a default judgement.

Why would they no-show?

They're far more likely to throw a couple hundred bucks at a local lawyer to show up.


In some jurisdictions lawyers are not allowed in small claims court.

In many of those, the defendant can say "but I want one", and have it removed to real court.
