DD+7 starts this week
Hi everyone,
Does anyone have experience with DD+7 on untracked items? We mostly use Amazon Buy Shipping for 1st and 2nd Class. It says 'estimated delivery date + 7 days'. So for 2nd class would this be roughly a 2 week wait for money to go into available funds or possibly a bit longer?
The only reason I'm asking is I've read some people have waited a number of weeks for it to be available. We're good for around 4 weeks wait before cashflow becomes a problem.
Cheers, Dan

We received this email today. As far as we know we're not yet on DD+7 still. Even more confused...
Hello,
We’ve rolled out Disburse on Demand to sellers who have completed their migration to the standard reserve period of seven days after delivery date (DD+7). Because your account now meets the eligibility requirements, you can begin using this feature to withdraw funds daily from your available balance. Please find more details below on how to get started.
Disburse on Demand allows you to request a disbursement of your available balance, up to once every 24 hours, without waiting for your standard settlement cycle to complete. This gives you more control over your cash flow and faster access to your earnings.
To ensure that your disbursement request goes through smoothly, please ensure the following before submitting:
Positive available balance – Your account has a positive available balance at the time of the request.
Active disbursement instrument – A valid and active bank account or disbursement instrument is configured on your account. If you haven’t added a bank account yet, go to Settings → Account info → Deposit methods in Seller Central to set one up
24-hour waiting period – At least 24 hours have passed since your last disbursement request.
Once all three conditions have been met, you’ll be all set! Requests that don’t meet all three conditions won’t be processed.
To request a disbursement, go to your Payments Dashboard in Seller Central, confirm your available balance in the Funds available column and then select Request payment.
For detailed instructions, go to How to request a disbursement using Disburse on Demand.

Is anybody else Disburse on Demand not actually working? We could always use it beofre, now we're on DD+7 and I can't seem to actually withdraw the money that's there. The money that's on hold is on hold, but there's also a chunk that shows available for payout - but the button greyed out.

Hello @Seller_17dvlOnYcvpi4 Thanks for following up.
Disburse on Demand will again be available for you when your deferred funds begin to be released and your transition period has ended.
But we should have the means to Disburse on Demand the funds that are nothing to do with DD+7
Again....please put 'deferred transactions' to one side and read below....
I understand that you would like non-deferred funds to be available for disbursement, and I have shared your feedback and questions with our partner teams. However, that is not currently available.

What is worries me the most, simply, we are going into bankruptcy if Amazon won't tried to reversed the situation currently happening to DD+7 policy. I find no reason this policy should have been triggered and causing all this issue we are all the sellers are facing right now

Has anyone else noticed that although they are currently holding all our money there is also a reserve for returns and charge backs now held as well, I thought that was why the money is being held, but there is also a second hold.

We had an option to disburse yesterday after the button was greyed out for a week, but I have noticed this has been cancelled by Amazon again today. Anyone else have the same issue?
Seller_eIYKbn9rbJMRl
This may be the beginning of the end! As well as not able to access what we expect to access, all new transactions immediately go into Deferred, with nothing being able to be released from older transactions.
On top of this, Amazon actually withdrew money from our bank account to effectively top up the Deferred amount, as somewhere along the line they must have felt there was a shortfall in the amount
Make this make sense to me...please!

I have been able to disburse for several days but this option has disappeared again although there are funds available. I have opened a case
Seller_wGk2Bz5SS9O4z
We have contacted the small business commissioner smallbusinesscommissioner.gov.uk/contact-us/ to highlight the issue. I will be contacting the press forthwith. Yet again we were not informed about the introduction and Amazon has failed to properly inform the sellers of the exact date of introduction. Furthermore it is an unfair policy that only makes sellers focus on other platforms whilst reducing sales on Amazons platform. Utter stupidity yet again from Amazon.
