Funds transfer and account review
 

Today got an email saying my funds have been transferred to my bank account, but about 20 minutes later Amazon puts the account under review.

I logged into the account and it says that the funds are being transferred (good thing) and my payment period has reset for another two weeks.

Will Amazon reverse the transfer that just got approved? Or will it go through even with my merchant account now under review.

Thanks.

if both emails are on the same day it is highly unlikely you will get the funds

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

Same day, about 20-30 minutes from each other. I will keep this thread updated with results.

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

gone through this many times and would be surprised if you get funds until review is now complete

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

Yeah, I have been through it a bunch, too. I normally just drop the account, but I've never logged in and seen it as "Processed" with a review.. Weird.

I have found if you get that email the next day you are ok, but anything on the same day your money is normally gone

This just happened to us 2 weeks ago. Went into review within minutes of the email stating the funds had been transferred. Our transfer went through with no issues.

wow that's lucky, dif in the uk it seems

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

If you are suspended amazon always reverse the charges up to around 2 working days after the funds have been transferred.

It is not the same for a review, at least not in my experience. Unless they are going to suspend you the funds should not be reversed just because of a review. This is the same in the uk as it is with the rest of the amazon sites.

Yeah I was worried that the funds would be tied up but they came through. It took 2 days for it to show up at my bank, but better than a month!

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

they can pull funds the same day only, the next day funds have left there account and there is nothing they can do

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

Amazon can and do reverse funds the next day and sometimes up to 3 days later.


Amazon in the uk uses the bacs payment system. Once a payment is made it will arrive in your bank no later than the next working day.

This is a legal requirement for all bacs payments. Now why do you think it takes 7 days for a bacs payment to reach your bank account, it's because amazon holds the payment and it will only go through the day before it hits your bank account. So yes, they can always reverse a payment at least 1-3 days later.

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

barry, I don't agree and the reason is I have had accounts closed the day after funds have been released. When I mean closed I mean totally disabled. Now if disabled the day after funds have been released then those funds still arrive to the bank. However, if funds are released and account disabled on the same day then those funds do not arrive.

Do you have experience of anything other than this with amazon ?

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

Yes, I've had an account transfer funds and then get suspended a 5 o'clock on a Wednesday and I got an email at 9 o'clock the following Saturday telling me the funds are to be reversed.

I'm not sure what you disagree with, a bacs payment takes one day from being sent to get to your bank account. Amazon do not send the money when they disburse it. If they did it would be with you the next working day. they hold the payment for at least 2 working days and thus it can be reversed.

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

I agree with the bacs payment element and time span but not with amazon processes

my experience as above says as long as account is opened the next day and then closes or goes into review funds will be sent with you

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

You are both wrong, BACS takes 3 working days. If a BACS payment is sent Monday it will hit your account on Wednesday. But yes amazon hold the funds for 2-3 days once payment has been notified as being sent.

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

hold it for a day only and most banks are part of the faster payment scheme now

I get payments sent many times a month and can confirm this 100%

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

The account is still active and the funds are still scheduled to transfer tomorrow. Account is RR for merchant.

Will keep updated.

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

amazon DOES NOT DO FASTER PAYMENTS....only BACS

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

Amazon send the payment after 2 days after the email which says the disbursement is on its way and u get the money on the 3rd day. You can see that after 2 days after the confirmation email, on your amazon/payments menu a small box will show up in the bottom saying how much exactly you will get, this box show up after the payment has already been sent, then they cannot reverse it, but this happen in usually 2 days.

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

No. After the next day funds cant be recalled

Re: Funds transfer and account review
 

i have accounts suspended on the next day, the money is hold 90 days, i also had account suspended right after the transfer box message to show up, then they cannot hold it. This is 2 days after the payment date, so i dont agree with you that the next day is safe and ok for your payment. Until u see the message confirmation below, then they still didnt make your payment.
