What is a deferred transaction?
by Seller_Huz6FT08OxHAR

A deferred transaction is a transaction that will be paid out to you at a future date. Most transactions are deferred for some period of time before they are paid out.

You can view a list of your deferred transactions on the Transaction view page. On this page, select "Transaction Status" as Deferred transactions from the dropdown, and click Update to see deferral reasons and the expected payment release date for all deferred transactions. After the payment release date, transaction status will update to Released. Note that only released transactions are included for payout in a settlement period.

Why is my transaction deferred?

A transaction is deferred while an order is awaiting delivery or pending buyer payment.

The following are the deferral reasons you may see on the Transaction view page:

Delivery date policy (Orders are awaiting delivery)

Orders placed by customers on Amazon are typically subject to Delivery date-based reserve policies. Sales proceeds are reserved until we know the buyer received the order in the promised condition, and to ensure that you have enough funds to fulfill any returns, claims, or chargebacks.

Note: Previously, sales proceeds withheld through Delivery Date-Based Reserves appeared as a lump sum amount "Account-Level Reserves" on your Payments Dashboard. This is now shown as deferred transactions so that you can know exactly which orders are subject to these policies and for how long they will be reserved.

Invoiced orders (Orders are pending buyer payment)

Invoiced orders placed by Amazon Business customers are deferred while awaiting payment by the buyer. These transactions will be released after the customer completes their invoice payment, which typically occurs within 30-45 days after the order date. Note that these orders are also subject to delivery date policies, but in most cases, the invoice due date will be later than the reserve period.

We would like to hear from our sellers and gain feedback arounds this. Please leave comments below.

I am reaching out with a pressing concern that I've encountered while attempting to contact the Amazon Account Health Support Team urgently. I've tried utilizing the "Contact Me Now" feature within the Account Health dashboard due to a time-sensitive matter, but have faced some unforeseen challenges.

On several occasions, after clicking the "Contact Me Now" button and providing my phone number, the system indicates that it has initiated a call to my number. However, I do not receive any incoming call on my mobile device. In another instance, although my phone did ring, there was no audible voice or prompt from the other end when I answered, rendering the connection useless.

This situation has left me in quite a dilemma, especially considering the urgency of the issue I need assistance with. I'm wondering if any of you fellow sellers have encountered a similar issue and might have found a solution or workaround. Additionally, could this problem potentially be related to using a Chinese phone number for contact purposes?

Here are a few steps I've already taken to troubleshoot:

Checked my phone's settings to ensure that I'm not inadvertently blocking any calls.

Verified that my phone has sufficient signal strength and is not in airplane mode.

Tried using different phones and networks to rule out device-specific issues.

Confirmed that my provided phone number is correct and active.

Despite these efforts, the issue persists. Any insights, advice, or personal experiences shared would be immensely helpful. If there are alternative channels or specific instructions for Chinese sellers facing similar communication barriers, please do let me know.

Sooo, just like many of you guys, there was a buyer who bought collectible cards from our store. The cards are expensive(£200) and we have decided to record videos for every order of them. Of course, there was a buyer stating that the deck was previously opened and wanted to return them. I have immediately contacted him and sent him proof of the condition prior to sending it to him and how the order was prepared. Once returned back, all rare cards were missing from the set and I decided to issue him 20% refund, although, in my opinion, he didn`t deserve anything as we are at a huge loss even with 20% refund. Right after that he opened an A to Z claim which was found in his favor without the chance to appeal it.

Is there anything that I can do? I am considering contacting a lawyer now, because this practice from Amazon is not acceptable.

Lost Buy Box (Featured Offer)
by Seller_tOMDDspA0N6rp

I'm getting nowhere with Seller Support (Live Chat & Phone), made a ticket asking for escalation, E-Mailed CEO's office and got a pretty rude reply, I'm at a total loss as to what to do. I have lost the buy box for ALL of my key products and best sellers, I am the brand owner, I am the only offer.

I am stunned at how little support there is from Amazon, I knew it was bad but I had no idea it was THIS BAD. Absolutely no transparency what-so-ever, nothing on performance notifications, account health is perfect, no violations, I am enrolled on the new Account Health Assurance scheme (which gave me peace of mind for all of 3 days).

With the CEO's office giving me the cold shoulder, seller support sending me links to 'Seller University', spending in excess of 10 hours trying almost everything on my account blindly, I'm at a complete loss sitting here with next to no sales. So my last resort is this... a mega thread... I'm hoping with enough people complaining about the issue, Amazon MAY acknowledge this problem as a bug/glitch before I have to file for bankruptcy (no exaggeration) and when they do, I also expect no apology or compensation.

We’ve been experiencing a surge in unjustified refunds from Amazon to customers, as well as repeated SAFE-T claim rejections for situations that seem clearly invalid. Below are two examples of what seems like unacceptable decisions, especially given the amounts involved:

1-Prime Orders & DPD Late Delivery;

We routinely ship Prime orders on Sundays using Buy Shipping DPD, but one Sunday DPD failed to show up despite our best efforts (including multiple phone calls). They later wrote and accepted their fault.

One parcel in these , worth £320, was delivered a day late as a result, and all tracking evidence was perfect. The customer claimed non-receipt three days later and was refunded in full.

We raised a SAFE-T claim based on solid delivery evidence, but it was rejected due to the one-day delay although, customer claim was for none receipt. Despite two appeals, they stand by their decision.

Additionally, we can’t claim compensation from DPD as they provided proof of delivery.

2- Amazon EU SRL Orders & Unrecognised Order IDs;

A year and a half ago, we shipped multiple Prime orders from Amazon EU SRL with correct end customer delivery details and delivered promptly. However, we began receiving refunds to customers, but the order IDs didn’t match any records in our system.

After extensive communication, it became clear that these were Amazon’s own orders to customers, but the system still wouldn’t recognise the IDs.

SAFE-T claims were automatically rejected as system can't recognise, and the issue remains unresolved even after over a year and hundreds of pounds involved.

Has anyone else faced similar issues? Any suggestions on how to escalate or get help from the mods?

I have just received the following email.

"Hello,

We’re updating the default order cut-off time for Fulfilled by Merchant orders so that you can show faster delivery promises and help increase your chances of winning the featured offer.

Starting on March 10, 2025, the default order cut-off will change from 11:59 p.m. to 8 a.m. the following morning for orders with standard shipping (excluding orders with 0-day handling time). As most warehouses open in the morning, orders received between midnight to 8 a.m. are usually processed just as quickly as orders received the previous evening.

The order cut-off time determines the ship-by date for your orders. The ship-by date is calculated using the handling time that you set to pick, pack and ship the order. For example, after March 10, an order with 1-day handling time made before 8 a.m. on Wednesday would also have a ship-by date of end-of-day Wednesday.

If you prefer, you can change the default order cut-off time to any time between 11:59 p.m. and 8 a.m. To do this, go to Shipping settings > Order fulfilment settings > General order fulfilment settings and select your desired cut-off from the drop-down menu of “Standard delivery (excluding 0-day handling time)”.

Note: The customer-facing order cut-off time is one hour earlier than the cut-off time that you set."

Problem is there doesn't seem to be a way to change this as these settings do not exist. I am presuming you have to be a pro seller to see these options. I want to change the default order cut off time back to what it was but there is no way to do it. Anyone else received this email and how did you access the settings?

Why is creating listings so difficult?
by Seller_Fg2fqaWOnEtha

I hate creating listings on Amazon, there is nearly always something wrong and quite often I am told at the end after spending a long time creating a complex listing with variations. Then most of the time Seller Support is clueless or give you the wrong solution.

Often I get strange error messages when creating a listing for a product with an EAN that is not in the Amazon database. The most common one is that the newly created ASIN clashes with another ASIN (normally a completely unrelated product) and I am supposed to change title and description to match this other product! This morning I was told I can upload a maximum of 0 images which means my listing will be search suppressed. Then I am no longer allowed to list products from a manufacturer although I have asked (again) permission to do so and that was granted last month. On top of that, I am now not even allowed to list my own brand and I am supposed to ask permission again. Also the form is heavy and slow, even with my laptop which is pretty fast.

No problem whatsoever when listing on eBay, Etsy or you name it. This is so time consuming and soul destroying. I know I am talking to a wall but I have to vent a bit.
