What is the "AMZN MKTP US" Charge?
The "AMZN MKTP US" descriptor stands for Amazon Marketplace. Unlike standard "AMZN" charges (which are products sold directly by Amazon), this charge indicates a purchase from a third-party seller using Amazon's platform, or a specific digital subscription like Kindle or Audible.
Don't Panic: This is a legitimate transaction processed by Amazon Payments, but it is often confused with Amazon Prime fees. It usually signifies a standalone purchase, not necessarily a recurring fraud attempt.
Common Reasons for This Charge
- Third-Party Purchases: You bought an item from an independent seller fulfilled by Amazon.
- Digital Subscriptions: Auto-renewals for Kindle Unlimited, Audible, or Amazon Music often appear as Marketplace charges.
- Pre-Orders: An item you ordered months ago (like a book or video game) just shipped and charged your card today.
