About Amazon

So i requested a cash out from Amazon ,

I received an email from Amazon saying your cash out will take 6 - 10 working days ,

A number of days later Amazon decide to put my cash out request on hold and place my funds on hold for a 30 day period,


What frustrates me here is that Amazon holds money for atleast 1-6 days before even attempting to transfer it into the bank account.

Amazon doesn't just do that arbitrarily. If your product and transactions look fine, a request to transfer funds into your bank will be processed by Amazon within a couple of hours, then a couple days for the whole thing to show up on your bank balance.

If something looks odd to Amazon, they might but your funds on hold for 45 days.

I am a new user and have sold well over 20 items (low price)
but have still not received any seller ratings from buyers .

Amazon stated my funds were on hold for 30 days pending investigation.

Amazon basically want to make sure i have posted my items and i am honest.

I have posted all my items so i guess i will just have to wait for things to go through.

The worst thing in the world for me to happen would be for Amazon to find a ' discrepancy ' on my account and refund all my orders.I would end up loosing lots of money and would not get my goods back.

I don't mind waiting 30 days but if Amazon were to refund all my orders i'd be pi.ssed!

I hope to God that i have covered my tracks and that Amazon can't find a link to a suspended account , i know that if they do they may refund all my orders and i will be manic !

amazon won't refund your orders unless someone opens a claim. the worse the can do otherwise is hold your money for 90 days.

I had an item listed on amazon that I recently lowered the price on. I didn't realize that I would sell so many within 2 days. They put this suspension on my account also. I have 2 questions.

The day before I got suspended, I did a fund disbursement. Will amazon reverse the funds that were disbursed and put a hold on it, or will they only hold the funds that are still in the account that have not been disbursed?

If I ship the items and get delivery confirmations, will amazon actually release the funds? How about if I get some low raitings for slow shipping, now that they have made me hesitant of shipping the items?

Thanks in advance to anyone who has been in this situation.

Another side note:

Amazon did send me an email already saying that

We initiated a transfer to your checking account on 05/19/2009.
Funds usually arrive within 3 - 5 banking days, but times vary by bank.

Does this mean I am in the clear for that disbursement?

[ebaykilla]

usually they can stop payments they said they initiated within a 48 hr period. so if you were suspended any payment made 48 hrs ago is now withheld.

Thanks for your response. I guess I will not ship the items and refund the money. I'm not going to chance of them deciding if I deserve the money or not after everything is said and done.
