Amazon's New Dirty Trick for New Sellers?
We all know we have daily disbursements until the dreaded velocity review and then it's a rolling 28 until the review is over, (usually 30 days), now i have 2 stealth accounts and BOTH have gone through the review process and passed, both individual seller accounts, immediately after the review process was over i got a notification saying that there was a 14 day holding going to be applied because they determined my account was at risk of returns, customer complaints or refunds (none of this true).
I wanted to ask the long time stealthers on this forum and the new ones if they had noticed this move by Amazon in trying to hold onto people's funds for as long as they can with no just cause, with 2 accounts now affected i think it's safe to say it's not isolated. These 14 day holds they say they can keep on the accounts for up to 90 days! |

Amazon are very accomplished at that sort of thing, hanging onto people's money for as long as they can. |

| they do this randomly on some accounts , sometimes it is just 14 days , sometimes 28 days and 14 days after that
anyway , if you behave then all this won't matter much |

| Well, i behave but it's the restricting of the cash flow i have the problem with, i'm a small sole trader with just steady sales, we're talking about less than 20 a week and i have these automatic 14 day reserves slapped on that may last up to 90 days each, that's what gets my back up, and it's for no obvious reason. |

| Exactly my point and it's infuriating when you just want to get on and do business, navigating these potholes, i don't have an endless stream of cash to keep ploughing in and hope and pray amazon don't just on a whim decide to keep putting unjustified last minute holds on funds, it's the lack of control over your own money. |

Yes that's Amazon for you, they can be tricky to handle at times, other times they just leave you alone. |
