What exactly is the AMAZON IT* charge on my statement?

The AMAZON IT* charge is a billing descriptor used by AMAZON IT — Amazon's Italian marketplace — when processing payments for orders, Prime memberships, or digital content purchased through amazon.it.

Why does the charge say AMAZON IT* instead of just Amazon?

Amazon uses region-specific billing entities. AMAZON IT* appears because the transaction was processed through Amazon Italy, which operates as a separate legal and billing entity from Amazon US or other regional stores.

Can I get a refund for an AMAZON IT* charge?

Yes. If the charge is for an eligible order, log into amazon.it, navigate to your orders, and request a return or refund. AMAZON IT's standard return window is typically 30 days for most products.

How do I cancel my AMAZON IT subscription?

Log into your account on amazon.it, go to 'Account & Lists,' select 'Prime Membership,' and choose 'End Membership.' This will stop future AMAZON IT* subscription charges from appearing on your statement.

How do I stop future AMAZON IT* charges from appearing?

To stop future charges, cancel any active subscriptions on amazon.it, remove your payment method from the AMAZON IT account, or contact AMAZON IT customer support to close your account entirely.

What is this charge?

When Amazon processes payments through its Italian marketplace, the billing system truncates the company identifier to fit within the character limits imposed by international payment networks, resulting in "AMAZON IT*" appearing on your statement rather than the full "Amazon Italy" name. The "IT" portion is the standard ISO country code for Italy, which Amazon appends to distinguish transactions originating from its regional European entity from those processed through its other country-specific platforms like Amazon UK or Amazon Germany. If you recently made a purchase or signed up for a subscription through Amazon's Italian storefront at amazon.it, this descriptor is the expected confirmation that your payment was successfully processed by Amazon Italy's billing system.
