I have Been proudly selling on here, for 16 years. Over 100,000 orders in that time. This is absolutely ridiculous. You're correct that they put these policies out and give us zero in return for this. Case in point, I just had a customer return 3 very expensive Transformers toys totaling $320, and replaced one with a $15 used Transformer, one with a cup of jello, and one with a jar of peanut butter. They swapped that $320 for a $15 used figure and enough food to make a sandwich. I just lost over $300, 2 days worth of pay. And we aren't even allowed to block crooked customers. Instead of rewarding our decades of service selling on here, with fraud prevention, they instead reward us with policies like "returnless refunds" where customer can simply lie and say a product has a scratch on it and they keep our $50 product, allowing them to steal steal steal and we lose our assets. And they don't even have to prove Something's Wrong by returning the product! Who should the burden of proof be on? A customer with a dozen orders and six returns in a row, or a seller with 8,000 orders a year, and a 100% delivery rate?

On eBay and all the other websites, we get paid immediately when a product ships. If our record shows a 100% delivery rate as ours pretty much does, and a 100% feedback rating as ours pretty much does, and 16 years of selling in good faith, they should not be doing this to us. This will cause a delay in funds. I consider this a massive downgrade to the entire Amazon platform, to NOW, after 16 YEARS of selling on here, have to wait to get paid for $20,000 plus in orders every month.

I literally just had my whatnot account upgraded after just 90 days from dd7 to instant payout! I've been in on here 16 years and Amazon is downgrading the payout system for the entire platform? What's wrong with them? And then we don't even have the security of blocking fraudulent buyers as the one above? I had one customer return the same products 16 consecutive times unopened, and cost me $1,000 in returns and $200 in return fees. I reported them the Amazon 16 times, and nobody did a da*n thing about it until @Sunny_Amazon stepped up on a forum and actually helped me. The people we were reporting this fraud to aren't even doing anything about it. And now our funds are going to be held for up to two weeks. So what about the shipments to Guam or the philippines? Or an apo? Those things get delayed up to 30 freaking days? We won't get paid for a month! Is everybody going to start blocking all their shipments to apos now? Why are you doing this Amazon? Think about the hardships that you're putting sellers through with this policy? Meanwhile, Amazon puts the funds in an interest bearing cap account for 7 days, and makes 5% annual interest on our money. Money that we are literally PAYING interest on until we pay it back! Why are we being punished for good performance?

And why would Amazon say they're doing this policy after hearing our feedback? Who on Earth would ask for their funds to be held for up to 7 days before they're released? NOBODY IN THE HISTORY OF SELLING WOULD ASK FOR THEIR FUNDS TO BE FROZEN FOR 7 DAYS!!!

This sounds like a rookie policy for vetting the first 30 days for a newbie, not for somebody who's been selling on here for 16 years!!!
