How do I find out what I bought?

Log into your Amazon account and go to Returns & Orders (top right). Match the date and amount to an order. If you think it might be from a third-party seller, look for the 'Sold by' field on the order.

In the vast majority of cases, no. AMZN MKTP is a legitimate Amazon charge. If the amount matches an Amazon order, it's safe. If you genuinely don't recognise it and can't find a matching order, contact Amazon customer service before disputing with your bank.

Can I get a refund for an AMZN MKTP charge?

Yes. If the charge relates to a purchase you want to return, go to your Amazon order history and initiate a return. Amazon's return policy is generally generous. If it's an unauthorised charge, contact Amazon fraud support immediately.

Q: What is AMZN MKTP on my bank statement?

AMZN MKTP stands for Amazon Marketplace. It appears on your bank or credit card statement when you make a purchase on Amazon, particularly from a third-party seller. The letters after the asterisk are a shortened order reference code.

Q: Why does it say US even though I'm in the UK?

Amazon processes all its payments through its US-based billing system, which is why UK customers see 'AMZN MKTP US' on their statements even when buying from Amazon.co.uk. This is completely normal and not a sign of a foreign transaction.

AMZN MKTP stands for Amazon Marketplace — it appears whenever you make a purchase on Amazon, especially from a third-party seller.

Amazon Marketplace

✓ Legitimate charge

AMZN MKTP is Amazon's billing abbreviation for Amazon Marketplace — the platform where both Amazon itself and millions of third-party sellers list products. When you buy something on Amazon, the charge on your statement almost always appears as AMZN MKTP rather than just "Amazon".

The characters after the asterisk (for example, AMZN MKTP US*2K8J9) are a truncated version of your order reference number. Amazon's billing system is registered in the United States, which is why UK and other international customers see the US suffix — this doesn't mean you've been charged in dollars or that it's a foreign transaction. Your bank converts the currency if needed.

If you see multiple AMZN MKTP charges on the same day, each one typically corresponds to a separate item or seller within the same order — Amazon often splits payments when products are fulfilled by different sellers or warehouses.

Frequently asked

Questions about AMZN MKTP

Why does it say US even though I'm in the UK?

Amazon processes all payments through its US-based billing system, so UK customers always see "AMZN MKTP US" on their statements even when shopping on Amazon.co.uk. This is completely normal and not a sign of a foreign transaction. Your bank handles the currency conversion behind the scenes if applicable.

How do I find out what the AMZN MKTP charge was for?

Log into your Amazon account and go to "Returns & Orders" in the top-right corner. Match the charge date and amount to an order. If you placed an order with multiple sellers, Amazon may have split the charge — check each item separately. The order reference in your statement should partially match the Amazon order number.

Is an AMZN MKTP charge a scam?

In the vast majority of cases, no. If the amount matches something in your Amazon order history, it's a legitimate charge. The most common reason people don't recognise it is because the statement shows "AMZN MKTP" rather than the product name or seller name. If you genuinely cannot match it to any order — especially if you've never had an Amazon account — contact Amazon fraud support immediately.

Why am I getting multiple AMZN MKTP charges?

Multiple AMZN MKTP charges usually means your order contained items from different sellers or fulfilment centres. Amazon splits the payment and charges each portion separately. You might also see a separate charge if you ordered multiple items and they were dispatched at different times. Check your order history — each charge should match an individual item or shipment.

How do I get a refund for an AMZN MKTP charge?

Go to your Amazon order history, find the relevant order, and select "Return or Replace Items." For most products Amazon offers a 30-day return window. Refunds typically appear on your statement within 5–7 working days. If you believe the charge is fraudulent and wasn't made by you, contact Amazon's customer service and your bank simultaneously.
