General Information
Q: What happened to Ecom Authority, LLC?
A: Due to operational challenges and financial constraints we have elected to wind down operations through an assignment for the benefit creditors (“ABC”).
Q: What is an Assignment for the Benefit of Creditors (ABC)?
A: The ABC is a Florida statutory process that results in the company being wound down by a third-party assignee and is overseen by a court. We believe this process offers the best chance of preserving value for our partners and provides full transparency. The ABC proceeding is designed to maximize recovery for creditors and offers a realistic path forward for
recovering inventory and funds under our current circumstances.
An assignee will assume control of the company’s operations – identifying assets, reviewing liabilities, and making distributions to creditors. The assignee will have possession of all books and records of the company.
Q: Who is handling this process?
A: The process is being handled by Michael Moecker & Associates, a Fort Lauderdale, Florida based firm specializing in insolvency and fiduciary services. You can contact us at [email protected]
Inventory & Client Goods
Q: I paid Ecom Authority, LLC to establish and provide management services for an online Walmart store. I made subsequent payments to purchase inventory for that store. What happens to the inventory currently held by Walmart?
A: Walmart will begin releasing inventory from its fulfillment centers shortly. You have until Monday, June 16 to designate a shipping address for your goods. If you do not submit the form by the deadline, your inventory will be sent to Ecom Authority’s warehouse at 12301 NW 112th Ave, Medley, FL 33178, where it will be held and liquidated by the assignee.
Q: What if I can’t reclaim and/or secure my own storage for the inventory?
A: Ecom Authority, LLC has a court-appointed fiduciary overseeing the liquidation. All inventory sent to Ecom Authority’s warehouse at 12301 NW 112th Ave, Medley, FL 33178 will be liquidated for the benefit of creditors. The assignee will seek to recover fees and costs associated with any liquidation of inventory. Market-rate pricing will be imposed for receiving, processing, storage, and order picking services.
Q: Can I continue selling on my Walmart store account?
A: All Walmart stores that were suspended will remain suspended. For the substantial majority of partners, Walmart has confirmed it will move forward with final payouts of the balances owed. For most sellers, Walmart has indicated it will work to remit payouts within the next 90 days.
If your account has a final balance over $10,000, Walmart will require a signed release letter, which will be provided at the 90-day mark. If the letter is signed promptly and your PSP account is active, funds should be released shortly thereafter. If the letter is not signed or the PSP account is inactive, funds may be transferred to unclaimed property with instructions for recovery. Accounts with high chargebacks or other risk factors may face a longer payout timeline. A small number of sellers with negative account balances will not receive a final payout.
Financial Questions
Q: Can I recover any of my unused working capital from my store?
A: Recovery is not guaranteed. Any store owner with unused working capital is now deemed to be a creditor of the Ecom Authority, LLC Estate. All creditors must file a claim in accordance with the submission procedure below.
Q: Can I file a claim for inventory in my store?
A: A claim for inventory can only be filed if your inventory was sent to the Ecom Authority, LLC warehouse to be liquidated. If you opted to receive your inventory you are no longer entitled to claim that amount.
Q: How are funds distributed to creditors?
A: Funds are distributed in accordance with Florida Statute §727.114. Administrative and secured claims are paid first, followed by unsecured creditors on a pro rata basis.

Q: What is the deadline to file a claim?
A: All claims must be submitted no later than 120 days from the date of the ABC filing (“Claims Bar Date”). The assignee reserves the right to extend this deadline at his sole discretion.
