DD+7 Payout Delay: Funds Held 7 Days After Delivery
Amazon now holds seller funds for 7 days after the customer's delivery date before releasing them for disbursement. This replaces the previous post-shipment model and applies to both FBA and FBM orders across the US and Canada.
Key Points
- Funds held until 7 days after delivery date (DD+7), not shipment date
- Applies to both FBA and FBM orders in US and Canada
- Example: sold Jan 1, delivered Jan 3 → funds available Jan 10
- One-time cash flow impact: sellers doing $10K/day see ~$70K temporarily locked
- Already live in European marketplaces before North America rollout
