Amazon doing away with REQUEST DISBURSEMENT button?
 

Any one here created an account within this month and been able to do a manual disbursement?

There's talk of the manual disbursement being phased out totally on amazons forum. Amazon reps have made some statements over the phone and I my self opened an account in november and its saying i have to wait 21 days. When these 21 days run out i'll see if i can disburse.

My accounts been around 10 days old and i haven't seen any disbursement buttons yet and my accounts in review ;d

Is that normal? would the button only appear after your 14 day waiting period? See what happens on and after thr 14th day. Or maybe its 21st day now.

Anyways i think a lot of people are set to complain if amazon do away with disburse manual on new accounts and old.

There's even a petition that been launced. I saw it yesterday.

Seems like it. When I tried to request a disbursement the button wasnt there. But when I clicked why, i was able to disburse.

yeah my accounts in review and its almost been 10ish days lets hope it passes review !i already shipped out 20 things ;d

same thing happened here. on my old account tho, not new ones. which is strange. what kind of IP do you use? Static or dynamic?

I think any account that was created in nov has the 14 day transfer setup. Unless you sign up for pro merchant. I have money in reserve on some accounts so i will sign up so I can transfer it.

There's definitly a policy to do away with the disburse button it looks like. just check out amazon sellers forum. It can be stopped though. only by ways of feedback to amazon. Emailing Amazon, because if they get enough emails then they may reconsider.
I've signed the petition too. Just need loads of signatories and then amazon recieving loads of emails telling them to not do away with disburse button along with a link to the petition. Seeing the petition sent in from many people should help. Petition hasn't got many signatories on it just yet, aprox 20 i think. Need more before its being emailed constantly to amazon from people. So lets all get signing!! Email the link to friends too so they can sign too. They should again forward it to thier friends!

Come on people sign and pass on. hopefully hit 100s and 100s then we can all email the link to amazon seller help or maybe even Jeff!

Here's the direct link on Amazon Sellers forum where i got the link for the petition : Amazon Seller Community: **** PETITION TO KEEP MANUAL ...

they like talking about the issue looks like instead of taking action and signing! lol.
Hopefully this petition can spread on other forums too!

Even with 1 million sig. They are going to keep it this way unless you sign for pro merch.
They are greedy greedy greedy. The longer they hold your money the richer they get.

Not even pro merchant are spared
 

If you read the petition you'll see its going for pro merchants too.

Doesnt mank any sense. I've got a new one, says 21 waiting period then auto every 7 days. When i upgraded it to pro then it went to auto every 14 days but still no manual disburse button!

so its better having no pro just individual then?? Cos on pro its 14 days not 7 auto!


Makes zero sense, where is incentive ?

petition has nearly 30 now, so here's hoping for 970 more and i'll forward link to amazon lol

They just transferd my funds. out of 500.00 I got 50.00 wtf.!!! Im done Im not mailing anything else. That does not even cover postage for items that were mailed. Fthem!!

wait if i switch over to pro, and i have money in reserve i can get it out?

i don't get it. so the money will be in reserve for 7 days? is it automatic weekly disbursement?

so can withdraw after 21 days and every 7 days from then on?

Looks like thats the new policy on new sellers. 21 days waiting then auto disburse, then auto disburse every 7th day. if u upgrade then your auto disburse is 14 days not 7 days. Does that even make sense? Pay to upgrade and then recieve less disbursements! WTF

Need to save manual disbursements. have they really stopped ? anyone with a new account(opened in nov 2011) been able to request disburse?

Pull out all stops , make it viral if you can! just want it packed and then can keep emailing it to amazon.

Originally if you were pro it would remain at 24hrs. It seems amazon is using this tool to (BLIND) the media into thinking that their profits are way ahead and beyond of everyone else! This is how they play everyyear it is something else with them. They are actually loosing money on the kindle but will show hi profit dollars thanks to You Me and the other small sellers by holding our funds. Like i said. they are holding my funds as hostage.
So im forced to pay out of my pocket for postage lets say 2.50 to mail a package-30 packages that is 75.00 + the amount of the item round out at 20.00 apiece
then the merch. 600.00 merchandise 75.00 shipping, They gave me 55.00 (care package) But want me to ship in two days.
wtf!! What if they turn around and just say sorry we suspended your account then i'm at a total loss.
This is a rolling reserve. 5 orders go into reserve then everyday you make a sale totaling on the 14th day say 20 you are only going to see the first 5 orders transferd they will always have money in reserve making money for them only not us. . This is their scam!! If you make 14 orders you should get the payment for the 14 orders in full not partial ..

Never mind the seller soapbox on amazon Those guys are just sleeping through life and talking about C*R*AP. amazon says bendover and they say in which position. They have no sense of reality. Alot of people that post on their is AMAZON sub companies.

I think after the holidays they will be rethinking because alot of seller. I speak for my self Will not mail their items knowing amazons track record of cancelling accounts. rememeber the 26th is around the corner and waiting for tins ein and ssn from all of us. This is why they did this. because they want to control us..They knew thatalot of sellers were going to make out bigtime on this season so they shut us down from the get go. FK YOU AMAZON.We have to eat to.!!:amen::amen

the 7 day auto disbursement is not that big of a deal to be honest. it's the 14-21 day delay that's bothering me. if all funds are reserved for two weeks then business turnover will be reduced by a huge margin. has anyone confirmed it?

Yes this sucks. But if you don't like Amazon so much then why do you sell on there? Almost all of your recent posts are you complaining about Amazon. Either you have to accept it and move on or stop selling all together. Coming on here and having countless threads about you complaining is not helping anyone. Yes we all have to vent once in awhile but that is all you do. Grow up man.

I have my right to my own opinion so do you This is freedom of speech. If i want to complain Then I will I have every right to . Im voicing for those who do not want to post on this board .MAN!

Go work 9-5 and when you receive your check you only get 100.00 when you expected 500.
How would you handle that knowing you worked your ass that week..
It is the same scenario..

7 days looks like its not a big deal, but sometimes when you just need the cash and you have to wait 7 days its actually longer because it take 6 - 10 business days for money to shown in account so it really 7 days + 6-10 days. You could just endup easily waiting 14 business days. Holiday period only slows it. less business days.

Accepting this from amazon is accepting theft. Because a corporation has an unethical policy towards its sellers then it deserves to be petitioned against for change. Petition & protest are moral obligation. I found this idea when i'm america that corporations and individuals have the right to essentialy hold hostage and exploit strange. But things are changing now with tHis occupy movement.

When you go to hit the dispursement button, hit the button that says "why" and it will take you to the old dispursement page where you can get the full amounts.

Actually Amazon is letting you sell on their website as a service to you. They can change and modify things as they see fit. It is in the terms and conditions when you sign up for a seller account. Yes it sucks. But coming on hear crying about it isn't going to solve anything. If you don't like how a corporation does business then don't do business with them. Plain and simple.

Here is a response a seller recieved in response to the unavailibilty of their Disburse button:

Dear Seller, Thank you for contacting Amazon Seller Support, As an Individual Seller, you get paid in disbursement cycles - the Individual is every 14 days, the Pro-Merchant - in 7 days. As a new seller you do not receive your first payment, after the 14 days of your registration, they stay in a rolling reserve and are received after the next 14 days/7days disbursement cycle., As I see you have upgraded to a Pro-Merchant which means you received the disbursement after the initial 14 day reserve and in the next 7 day disbursement cycle. You registered on the 5 of Nov and received the disbursement on the 26 of Nov, that is exactly after 14 plus 7 days., As per the Manual Disbursement - this is an old feature that was available, to Individual Sellers, but as this option can be very easily miss used, in frauds it is no longer available for sellers., Thank you for understanding.

Guys, it very clear what is going on here, Amazon is covering their ass because they expect a ton of sellers to jump ship on dec 26th. They are afraid people will disburse and not ship items, hence it would be a big loss for them.

I have 3 accounts, one does about 4k/ month and it is fine( all legit products), I have another account that sells virtually nothing , maybe 200$/ month, both accounts are about a year old. Both accounts are in good standing and I can disburse daily.

My 3rd account is now under review, Ive done nearly 10 k in sales this month, and they've imposed a 7 day rolling reserve, not really a big deal, but I have cut down on my items there and put them on the other accounts.

So far no suspensions or deletions. Ive got about $1600.00 frozen as of today.

I have a question here, I have been in Amazon since last Year NOV, I have a pro merchant, but I can't never withdrawal money manually I want. Amazon always pays me ever 2 weeks. I check my account info and payment page, i never seen any buttons that allow me to manually withdrawal the money.

Also, each time I sold, I will get an email from amazon; sold and ship notification; in the bottom of the email says this payment will automatic deposit to your bank account 14 days from now after you shipped.why is that I am not be able to withdrawal my money earlier I want? Why I need wait 14 days not earlier.......thanks for any info.

Oh, by the way, my account is in good statues and no A-Z claims. Thanks.

If you read around the forums, in your position, I would be happy just to have a) the account nicely building rep and 2) access to your funds on a regular basis. Everything is relative and you are in a good position.

I have a 8 month old account, which has the button still,non pro merchant, (logs into the amazon.co.uk seller site) However, I have a newer one made this month that has auto cashouts every 7 days - and a ridiculous rolling reserve (£100 in reserve on £167 total) which logs into the amazon EU services site, dont know if this has anything to do with it?

I think they are goung to do away with the 3rd party selling (for smallsellers). It is just odd that the 26th is approching and alot of accounts are either suspended or taken down(all small sellers).They keep sending the email -give us you tax # or you will be SUSPENDED. Maybe they do not want to be bothered with the ssn/ein/tin nonsense that the corrupt govt has immpossed. face it all the canidates are just plain dirtbags except for ron paul! They are throwing him under the bus because they are just a bunch of idiots with no brailns.. He is Mr America and they know it.

Now with th e 1099 bush signed and obama finished . Two dirtbags that are only into corporate greed that is it. So now in 2012 instead of 3 class of people we have 2 working poor and the wealthy. The middle class is a now the working poor.

If ron paul did win and and became president then he would upset the applecart and get the middle class back on track and he can. He would disband the irs which would stop income tax on all americans. If you follow his policies then you would know he would be the next jfk but with out the filandering(lol) he would get the ball rolling here.

we will see.
