Seller account review
 

This is the first time I've had an account under review that was strictly FBA

Anyway, I was to get a disbursement of $6000, but it says zero will disburse.

I can't find anywhere that says when I will get paid

Does the review have to complete to get paid?

I take it that if they suspend the account I ill have to wait 90 days after the suspension to get paid.

Re: Seller account review
 

In my experience as long as the review passes you get paid on the next distribution.

Typically how long does that take?

How long can they drag their feet on the review?

Re: Seller account review
 

I've been under review for 2 months already. I don't think there is any limit on how long it takes.

Re: Seller account review
 

typical review takes 30 days. usually fba only accounts only get reviewed when complaints about cakes are received. perhaps u can post the email you received from amazon regarding the review.

HIGHLY doubt its a velocity review as amazon has your inventory....

Re: Seller account review
 

We are conducting a review of your account. During the review, a rolling reserve will be applied to funds in your account from your sales on Amazon.com.

The reserve will be equivalent to your gross sales amount for the preceding 28 days. Based on your order volume, the amount of the reserve may change daily.

When your account balance exceeds the reserve amount, funds will be available per your disbursement schedule.

You can view your account balance, estimated payment schedule, and reserve amount on the Payments page in the Reports section of Seller Central (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/...t-summary.html).

Account reviews are intended to ensure the timely shipment of orders and compliance with our selling policies. Please continue to fulfill orders and list only items that you are able to ship by the Expected Ship Date.

You can help with the review process by sending us more information about your business. To do so, click the “Appeal” button next to this notice on the Notifications page in the Performance section of Seller Central (https://sellercentral.amazon.com/gp/...fications.html).

To learn more about account reviews, search “Velocity Limits and Account Reviews” in Seller Central Help.

We will notify you by e-mail when our account review is complete.

Thank you for selling on Amazon.com.

so they have been holding your funds for 2 months?

Re: Seller account review
 

Send all your buyers emails kindly requesting that they leave positive feedback. The review normally takes 28 days. If it's longer than this I would advise you to email seller performance and politely ask how long it will take as you need to reinvest your money to buy more stock etc

Re: Seller account review
 

Amazon usually only review an FBA account if there has been complaints on the quality of stock, i.e. counterfeit or not as described. The stock will be physically inspected.

Re: Seller account review
 

Hopefully no worries there

Re: Seller account review
 

If these items are your usual, then you may be have issues.

Think about it.

Re: Seller account review
 

$6000 is a high amount to lose but might be best to prepare for Amazon to terminate the account

Re: Seller account review
 

Looks like that even if it does pass than that $6000 will be held in reserve, and disbursements will be anything after the amount made in the last 30 days

Re: Seller account review
 

So then when would I get the original $6000?

Re: Seller account review
 

In my experience, never. They just hold that. Increase sales and they adjust the reserve to that.

Other members say they only hold for a few weeks. That has not been my experience on very clean accounts.

Re: Seller account review
 

What if I stop selling or just close the account?

Re: Seller account review
 

Stop selling is a worthy idea to let the account just be - not a good idea to actively close

Re: Seller account review
 

I just did this. I expect my 100K around February 15th.

Re: Seller account review
 

Amazon will eventually release your entire funds. My account opened in late October. I strictly only do fba all legit items. First disbursement was 2 weeks from opening my account at 40% of my total. 2nd and 3rd disbursement was $0, due to review. Sent an email to the review team and they just released 100% of my total.

If you're super worried, just contact seller central. They'll tell you everything you need to know.

Re: Seller account review
 

this is a bad idea

Re: Seller account review
 

Amazon still fn around with holding money on the day your transfers are supposedto happen wasting time again on this joke website . Amazon still robbing sellers just before the financial and economy collapse of the new year. Reviews basicall lead to suspensions that lead to loss of your funds . Rot Amazon!! Its still a scam to swindle Us no two ways about it!

Re: Seller account review
 

Imboxsy, it's only a bad idea if you are selling illegal products. If you are 100% legit, what are you afraid of?
