Initially, when you add a bank account to Amazon, there is a 14 day holding period before they will release funds. After that, they disburse automatically every 14 days. Or, you can request disbursements more often, even every day if you wish. I prefer to wait the 14 days as I think to disburse every day looks suspicious.
Melissa1971 is correct. If you go over $750 in sales in any 28 day period, your account goes into a 30 day review. During the 30 days, you can still list and sell, but your funds are held. Once you have a selling history and enough positive feedback, this is no longer true. Of course, Amazon can place your account in a review at any time for any reason they like. But the $750 is an automatic trigger.
If you pass the review, you can disburse funds. If not, they will place a 90 day hold on your money, and your account is blocked. These reviews can go either way. It depends on the feedback you get from your customers, as well as what you sell. The less risky your items, the more likley you will pass.
During the review period COMPLAINTS ARE DEADLY! So make sure that your merchandise is top notch. Answer any customer inquires quickly and professionally. Do everything you can reasonably do to make Amazon see that you are a good seller, with good ethics.
