How are payments structured

For most sellers, Amazon issues payouts every two weeks. Each payment includes proceeds from 14 days of orders (minus Amazon's fees) that were successfully delivered to your customers at least seven days ago. In certain situations, sellers may experience a delay in receiving payment, extending beyond the standard 14-day payout period. This delay can occur due to factors like the timing of order delivery close to the payout date or the transfer processing time. For instance, if orders are delivered within seven days of the scheduled payout date, the remaining balance will be carried over to the next payment cycle.

Note: Amazon might hold back all or part of your payment for more than 14 days as an “account level reserve.”

What is the account reserve? Is the amount of money Amazon holds for chargebacks and various fees. When you first start selling on money, all your funds will be deposited into your reserve. As you begin to sell more on Amazon, your reserve percentage begins to lower
