Here is what I found:

What is a deferred transaction?

A deferred transaction is a transaction that will be paid out to you at a future date. Most transactions are deferred for some period of time before they are paid out. The "Payment release date" tells you when you will be able to access the funds from deferred transactions. After this date, these transactions will move to the Transaction view page and the funds will become available for disbursement.

Why is my transaction deferred?

A transaction is deferred while an order is awaiting delivery or pending buyer payment. You can use the Deferred transactions page to identify these orders, the reason for deferral, the date when you will receive payments of these orders, and the corresponding amount. The following are the deferral reasons you may see on the Deferred transactions page:

Invoiced orders (Orders are pending buyer payment)

Invoiced orders placed by Amazon Business customers are deferred while awaiting payment by the buyer. These transactions will be released after the customer completes their invoice payment, which typically occurs within 30-45 days after the order date. Note that these orders are also subject to delivery date policies, but in most cases, the invoice due date will be later than the reserve period.

It seems there is a 1-2 week or more deferral of payment on all orders that I am seeing in the transaction report.

We are dealing with getting a correct transaction since Nov 1st. Nobody is helping we opened many cases, we dont know what we sold, what fees we paid, what we received in Nov. As you see in the attachment it is not allowing us to choose the date range.There is no report starting date because date selection is not available. How do you guys still say deferred transaction report is operating normally in the banner???

I'm a bookseller & sold a book to a library a month ago. I sent the book when it was ordered. The transaction was an "Invoiced Order" and a "Deferred Transaction"with a "Release Date" of today, 12/21/24. Yet the funds (over $100) have not been "released" and are not yet available to me. My question is, what is the meaning of the "release date" if the funds don't actually become available by that date? When will the funds be available? Does the "Release Date" have any meaning at all?

Thanks.
