Suggestion: Delivery Date Policy & Deferred Transactions - DD+7
As many of you may be aware, Amazon has introduced a new Delivery Date Policy, which holds payments for DD+7 days. While this applies to all accounts, I believe this blanket approach is unfair.
Amazon should implement this policy on an account-by-account basis, considering individual account performance. For well-performing accounts with a solid track record, payments shouldn't be delayed by DD+7.
I encourage everyone to leave feedback on the Payments page, urging Amazon to reconsider this policy and apply it more fairly based on account performance. Of course, I doubt they will listen to us, but at least we can try.
You may write: "You should consider deferring transactions selectively based on the account's performance and history, rather than applying it to all seller accounts universally. We have been selling on Amazon for a long time without any payment issues, and it's important to recognize this when deciding to defer payments.
If an account is deemed to be at risk, then it makes sense to defer transactions. However, for well-established accounts with a solid track record, payments should be released promptly. "

Totally agree, we have been trading for over 10 years without any issues

We noticed this morning after a rather low disbursement for this period. After 15 years with no issues, very annoying.

I agree 100% with this. Selling on Amazon since early 2014. We were supposed to be 'grandfathered in' as the policy didn't start until 2016, and we have had no problems with chargebacks or refund levels in that whole time. Do Amazon really believe that we all of a sudden would have ALL our sales refunded, so they have to hold on to our entire earnings for that long? I would have accepted say 10-20% of the total sales deferred for a number of days, but this is just ludicrous.

I dont realise that Amazon are so hard up that they require sellers to finance their business. This is quiet outrageous, we have been trade for 10+ years have no more than £500 refunds per month and yet they are holding £70K+ in deferred transacton. With all their technical knowhow it beggars belief that they could calculate deferred amounts on a % equivalent to the level of returns on the account.

This is just another nail in the coffin for us. The way this has been implemented without (recent) warning is attrocious and just shows the contempt Amazon has for us. We helped build this megalyth and this is how we are treated.
My lease is due up in December and was going to be selling off our stock through Amazon.co.uk. Maybe I'll give onbuy my business.

Whilst I don't disagree with you I can't see this ever happening. It is the most logical thing to do base the reserve on sellers performance.
My daily refunds are between £3-10 and yet I have several thousand pounds held under this policy. In theory around £300 in reserve would cover all of my refunds for one month.
Seller_0AG9i8qKfX9Eu
this is criminal. I have just sent them countless messages saying this is wrong. Our company needs to be able to take OUR money out. They are holding OUR money. This is now affecting our lives as we cannot take our money out which we now need to pay VAT and rent etc..
when you see our director nearly in tears with worry because there are bills to pay and wages and you need to just draw your money out but are not able to....
Our last deposit was held for 7 days, it then took 6 days to reach our bank!!!!!
im almost at the point where we should all get together to see if there is anything we can do legally.
they are holding a few thousand of ours now, why.... We have been an amazon business for 15 years !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are going to put businesses out of business as they are taking their fees and advertising fees daily from the totals! Meaning you are not getting the correct amounts of money! They have also introduced VAT on Fees which means we also get less money! This policy really needs looking at before businesses go under from cashflow issues! Our daily disbursement amounts are really low at the minute and are about 50% of what we take each day! It really doesnt make sense how they work it out
