Amazon review Questions?
 

So I was slammed with a review, I have shipped all of my items out, However, Amazon seems to be holding my items (As in they are pending) for more than 24 hour periods. Does this normally happen?

Yes.......

Same thing happening to me today, this is my real account about 2 years old, I get disbursements every 2 weeks

The last thing I wanted to be out is inventory and money so I just sell 4 days out from my disbursement , which was to be this Friday

Everything is green, seller ratting 100, feedback 100

But today I received 5 orders and than that was it every order after is pending, so I have 9 pending orders from today

I received no email, saying review, but I'm sure I won't get my disbursement tomorrow and lost a week of work

I just packed everything all day , but I already started moving inventory to eBay , I can't see the disbursement going through

I won't lose anything except time which I hate, things were just starting to get consistent too, all well

u got a review a few days ago myself. but mine is a rolling reserve review for breaking 50k a month mark.

Haven't had a review in a year...

Re: Amazon charging more than 15% commission?
 

Now I have everything perfect and,green in metrics all o's, seller rating 100 feedback 100

There was no email, but like I said maybe 6 sales came in today and than 10 after are pending

Will they also hold the Disbursement of the previous sales made, how does that work

Re: Amazon review Questions?
 

I guess I'm not in review an order just came thru for 4 units at $500, there's still 15 pending

Amazon confuses me, I feel more in control with,eBay

Re: Amazon review Questions?
 

Now I just looked and the order that I printed out was an order for 2 units, which I have an email for that saying it sold

I also have the email for 4 units , but it's still in pending however the $500 from that order went into my disbursement total

I guess it's a glitch

Re: Amazon charging more than 15% commission?
 

It's not a glitch. it's called a soft review and it happens quite often when you have a day where you sell a lot more than you usually do. Orders will be pending for up to 12 hours but after that everything goes back to normal.

Thank you I'm New in a sense to selling on Amazon normally I would sell no more than $1000 a month for the last year and 8 mounts I just started moving inventory over the last two months , this is like my fifth real disbursement and the biggest

I just brought all the prices up so I probably won't get any more sales

My sales just exploded today , also they released 2 sales I received the emails, both combined were $700+ it was 2 orders but 6 units

The $200 order really did come thru, but the $500 , the money came thru to my disbursement but it's still in pending even though the email came saying I had a sale also

I hope it doesn't stay too much longer, since there money went through somehow

Anyway I raised prices so I hope not to get more sales, It keeps growing I have 22 pending, it really should be 21

I hope the disbursement goes thru tomorrow night along with more pending orders

Re: Amazon charging more than 15% commission?
 

you are being "stealth" reviewed. i had this happen to me just before i got the actually review email when i was at 35k in sales. got 147 pending orders wondering what was going on. two days later all ordered turned to confirmed ship now. then a week later a got the actual review email.

my metrics are pretty good like urs. i think its amazon only wanting good sellers for busy holiday season

Re: Amazon review Questions?
 

Yea I didn't even realize how much I exploded today, because at least 8 of the 21 pending orders ordered multiple units,

One person orders 10 units, which is $1200 , the total just for today was little over 5k

I hope that the disbursement goes thru, hopefully since another 1k in orders went through at the end of the night I'm hoping it gets sent out.

The last 2 months I have had decent sales and like I said all metrics are 0 and everything else 100%

I'd be happy if they just sent out what is in the disbursement now and the rest 2 weeks from now

Amazon gets crazy with sales, this is my original account, and I remember starting it the same time as eBay

Same items at that time, and I was getting 1-2 sales a month

Once I received that seller rating which took 5 months to get, all of a sudden I would get $6-$700 in a day and I'd shut it down, because it was the same time I was getting busy with my stealth accounts , they all were maturing and holds lifted

So for the 2 years I'd do 700-$1500 a month in Amazon and shut it down, and it would only take a couple days, but I'd have to wait like a month to get paid

Now that I upgraded to pro merchant, payments are nice and clean, every two weeks, not like before where u could see the 3 dates of payments that would change with each sale, pushing ur money further down to the furthest date

That's the main reason I went with eBay

But now with all the changes I figured why not give Amazon more of a chance, and it's been great, and I'll definitely make a couple ghost accounts in the near future, probably after the holidays now
