DD+7 and Disbursement on Demand

[Ready_Seller_1]

This is very strange, but we were supposed to migrate to the DD+7 payment schedule on March 12th and nothing happened. Amazon just disbursed our entire normal paycheck today (March 14th) with no reserve settings as usual. Has anyone heard what’s going on with this? There is one thread on the Amazon Seller Forums and this has happened to some other sellers. I wonder if there’s a glitch with the rollout. It’s hard to plan cash flow and inventory purchases with looming payment uncertainty.

And when Amazon eventually initiates DD+7, has anyone had any luck requesting the “Disbursement on Demand” option added to their account? Amazon has told us that it’s automated in the system and they can’t “override” that.

We’ve been on a 2 week payment schedule since we started 12 years ago and it’s unfair that we wouldn’t qualify for the “Daily Disbursement” option considering the DD+7 change, our sales history and ACH score. Thanks in advance for everyone’s input.

I’m in the same boat. No changes for me yet either, thankfully.

We were migrated on 3/5/2026.

This another thread here on SAS that might give you some insight as what to expect when Amazon makes it around to transitioning you.

Your account will be migrated to DD+7 on March 12

Received this email today. I’ve never been on reserve (since 2016) so it’s unclear to me if this will change. 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 …

There have been more than a few reports, in the NSFE & elsewhere, that SeSu has told other 3P Sellers the same thing, but once their SoA Accounts were actually migrated to DD+7, the Disburse on Demand functionality was automatically enabled.

May it be so for us all.

@Dogtamer

the Disburse on Demand functionality was automatically enabled.

It showed up for us but we have not used it yet.

I’m pretty much convinced that no one at Amazon has the faintest clue about what is going on with this. Some people reporting massive changes; others (like me) see no changes, but didn’t get the money we expected (from sales prior to the date). Others seeing all or some funds moved into various categories.

And any response I’ve seen on the NSFE from mods has been anything BUT enlightening.

I think that by taking effect 3/12 it means all orders after 3/11 go to DD+7

Fortunately for us we had no orders after we shipped everything on 3/11.
Our next orders came in on 3/13
So when we ship on Monday we will find out

[Ready_Seller_1]

We shipped some orders this weekend and everything is normal. No reserves for DD+7. IDK

When you are transitioned to DD+7, your next distribution of funds will be $0.00 and the next day all of the funds you were due will show up as your Beginning Balance.

And if you were not grandfathered in, you will now also see that you now have the ability to Request Payment for any amount currently in the Funds Available column.

[Ready_Seller_1]

So you’re saying Disbursement on Demand will now be available for everybody with the DD+7 migration? I hope so, we were planning on an extended 3-4 week hold for sales. Thanks for your input.

@Ready_Seller_1

So you’re saying Disbursement on Demand will now be available for everybody with the DD+7

Yes, however we are waiting until for the first distribution after the withheld distribution before we use it. That way we will know if we got all of the money withheld (minus shipping costs and professional fee charged during the first period after the withheld period).

@Ready_Seller_1

we were planning on an extended 3-4 week hold for sales.

We wouldn’t change that plan as that is basically what we are doing now.

[Ready_Seller_1]

Thanks for the clarification. That makes things a little more palatable if we get the Daily Disbursement option now. And good idea on waiting. We will hold our current course.

I can’t say this is true, at least not for me. I now have funds being withheld but I did get my full disbursement on the 12th as scheduled. I would assume my transition was the 12th. I do not however have the ability to disburse funds. There isn’t even an option on my dashboard. I’ve asked seller support about this and they’ve told me twice they don’t know and they’ll have to bring it up with the relevant team.

To be honest, I’ve expected nothing less than a mess from Amazon when they roll out something new so I’m not upset. I just wish they could figure out how things are going to happen and communicate exactly what to expect.

Yeah, that would be the logical thing to think, based on the info that Amazon gave us. But I switched 3/5. Orders completed as early as 3/1 (maybe even earlier) showed on my balance both before and after 3/5, but nothing disbursed on my normal day.
So it appears that the switch is retroactive basically to your last disbursement. I don’t know why they couldn’t have just said that from the start; would have been much clearer. Except, of course, that I really don’t think that they know what they are doing.

@TJB

I now have funds being withheld but I did get my full disbursement on the 12th as scheduled.

Where are the funds being withheld … Account Reserve, Deferred Orders or sitting in Standard Orders > Total Balance with $0.00 or a small amount in Standard Orders > Funds Available?

Do you have a Beginning Balance? (shown in the graph section).

Several people who were to transition on the 12th have reported not being transitioned on the 12th.

[TJB]

Funds held in Deferred transactions but the amount is 3x higher than invoiced orders. Nothing in account reserve. Standard orders is roughly 50% of total. Funds available now is about 2/3 of total balance.

There is definitely something going. I had all kinds of weird things the morning of the 13th, then they went away in an hour or so. I didn’t screen shot it because I was trying to figure out what it was trying to do, then it changed again. Who knows what levers the wizard behind the curtain is pulling?

[Lost_My_Marbles]

After transition, the orders you ship will end up in Deferred Transactions (the exception being Invoiced Orders which should end up in Invoiced Orders).

@TJB

There is definitely something going. I had all kinds of weird things the morning of the 13th, then they went away in an hour or so.

We saw a “glitch” yesterday 3/14. Funds Available Now dropped about $11 and then later on was up about $159 with nothing showing in Payment > Transactions to account for either of the two movements.

Ok … to help show everyone how our 3/5 transition went.

On 3/5, we were transitioned and nothing happened on the Payment page.
Then on 3/8, we were to get our Disbursement but didn’t.

On 3/8, everything that normally would have been disbursed went to Reserve Amount.

On 3/9, our All Statement look like this.

3/8/2026 Disbursement
X (Sales) - Y (Expenses) = (-) Z (Other - which would have been the Disbursement) which meant the Payout Amount was $0.00

(-) Z moved to A (Beginning Balance) as a positive amount
A (Beginning Balance) - C (Current Expenses - Shipping, etc) = D (Expected Future Payout Amount)

A (Beginning Balance) will not change during this period.
C (Current Expenses) WILL change during this period with every label bought, professional fee charge, and any other expense you incur.
D (Expected Future Payout Amount) WILL be reduced by the amount of C (Current Expenses) as they are incurred.

D (Expected Future Payout Amount) is what you will get at your next Disbursement.

After 3/8/2026 (we didn’t have any sales 3/5, 3/6, & 3/7), all sales were reported in the Deferred Orders > Total Balance on the Payment Page after we had shipped the orders. If we had had sales between on 3/5, 3/6, & 3/7, we believe those orders would have also been reported in Deferred Orders > Total Balance upon shipping. We just can’t say for sure as we didn’t have any orders during that time. It seemed as if Amazon turned off our sales during that time (and for a few days before the 3/5 transition).

Hopefully, this will help you navigate your transition.

My full standard bi-weekly payment was dispersed today. Still no visible changes indicating DD+7 yet

[Chimanimani]

Dispersed as in actually in your bank? Or just per Amazon?

Lucky guy it seems.

My DD+7 was 03/12
As of now - No changes

Last disbursement was 03/05 - Normal
Next is on 03/19

If you got paid in full, maybe I might be so lucky?
doubt it., but we will see…
