In the EU, the platform owes you reasons.

P2B, the DSA and the DMA give EU and UK sellers rights a US seller does not have — statements of reasons, complaint handling and out-of-court dispute resolution. We use them as leverage.

How it works

EU regulation reverses the usual posture: under the Platform-to-Business Regulation a marketplace must give a statement of reasons for a restriction, and the DSA adds complaint-handling and appeal rights.

For gatekeeper platforms the DMA adds further obligations. Used together, these are concrete leverage against an account action — not abstract policy.

The path back

  1. Demand the statement of reasons. Invoke the P2B right to a reasoned, documented restriction notice.
  2. Use the internal complaint system. Trigger the DSA complaint-handling and appeal mechanisms.
  3. Assess gatekeeper duties. Where the DMA applies, test the platform against its obligations.
  4. Escalate out of court. Pursue P2B/DSA out-of-court dispute resolution where it fits.
