How to Tell if the Amazon seller account is Special

Payment Schedules, disbursements on accounts

Where can you find this information:

Start here: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/payments/dashboard/index.html/ref=xx_payments_dnav_xx

Reports > Payments > Transaction

 

1. Daily Payouts: 

Do you see the Request Transfer button?

If it is “clickable” and you can click it every day, you are getting paid every day. 

 

2. Account Level Reserve

https://sellercentral.amazon.com/payments/past-settlements

Here, you will look at the “Beginning Balance” column.

If the column shows $0.00 (as opposed to a positive number – negative numbers could be due to fees etc.) then you know that the account has no reserve. In other words, once a payment is made to the account, all the money leaves the account, nothing held over from payment to payment.


Additional Directions:

  1. Navigate to PAYMENTS: Go to PAYMENTS REPORTS REPOSITORY

  2. Statement VIEW:  Look under column that says “BEGINNING BALANCE”.  If you see a balance here, some of your funds are being held by Amazon. If the number is $0.00 it indicates that all funds are released from payment to payment (NO RESERVE)

  3. Compare the FUNDS AVAIALABLE NOW tab with the TOTAL BALANACE – if the numbers are the same….that is also another indication of NO RESERVE.
