Your account will be migrated to DD+7 ....
I got this email saying:
Hello, On March 12, 2026, in line with your feedback, we’ll update your reserve settings to the standard reserve period of seven days after delivery date (DD+7). Most Amazon sellers worldwide already use DD+7. Moving your reserve setting to DD+7 provides time for you to accrue fees and other costs before disbursement and gives your customers time to receive, open, and evaluate their order. DD+7 aligns the customer order and payment cycle, with funds made available for disbursement seven days after we confirm order delivery....
What if the item is marked shipped but the post office forgets to scan it upon delivery and it still appears to be in transit even though it was delivered (and the customer does not open a case)??? So do we now have to worry that we won't get paid if the post office forgets to scan it upon delivery??? We should get the money 7 days AFTER it is first scanned as already in transit!

Same question. Is it time to finally stop selling on Amazon? Sales have been slow on Amazon anyway and increasing on other channels.

I like how it states "in line with your feedback."
Hogwash!

Right, got this one just now too.
Is this actually fairly now standard at Amazon? For the 25+ years we've been selling, payment has been immediately accrued after shipment confirmation (and paid out every two weeks).
Although this is not a "killer" in and of itself, combine that w/ the OTHER charge fiasco and all the other horrible policies one after another ...

Got the same email a few minutes ago. Ridiculous! Been selling since 2012 I believe. This is going to make bookkeeping impossible too.

I honestly don't understand what they are talking about. Is this about FBM orders only?

Imaging all the interest Amazon collects holding all revenue from 3rd party sales an extra week. Almost 5 billion a week from 3rd party sellers.

We got the same email, add it to the list of attacks by Amazon on FBM as of late....removing our top selling listings due to 'IP' which just forces us to recreate the listing and spend another fortune on ads to bring up the ranking to what it already was...forcing AHT on us for no reason except that we deliver on time or early and then add several days to our delivery estimates saying it will prevent us from delivering too late (our OTDR is 95%-98%)...so we are both delivering too early AND too late....refusing to remove feedbacks that are SOLELY about shipping time when we used amazon shipping and it was supposedly 'claims protected'....I thought that meant fb as well? then you look at the overseas FBA sellers fb and they remove ALL of them, even the ones stating how bad the quality of the item is...This is all just a huge push to force FBM sellers to FBA, we will NEVER comply with that so if push comes to shove we leave this site after 20+ years.I guess like everything else there is no way to get around this DD+7 BS...if anyone finds a way please pass it on.

I received the same email and I'm writing this while physically nauseous. Let's be clear. After a decade of building my brand on this platform, fulfilling over 20,000 orders with a 0% defect rate and a <1% return rate, I've earned the right to speak plainly.
The way Amazon engages with its sellers is pathologically exploitative. Amazon demands absolute perfection while offering NOTHING in return but systemic instability and algorithmic cruelty.
Selling on Amazon isn't a partnership; it's a parasitic relationship. If Amazon's corporate ethos were personified, it would be a PSYCHOPATH, utterly devoid of empathy, incapable of loyalty, and driven by a cold, calculated self-interest that views its sellers not as partners, but as resources to be consumed and discarded.
The contempt Amazon holds for its supposed "selling partners," all while gaslighting us by making it appear that changes like this are "based on your feedback," is literally sickening.
