The "DD + 7" reserve fund policy (Delivery Date + 7 Days) is Amazon's standard reserve policy. The order funds can be withdrawn only after 7 days from the buyer's receipt. This policy links the release of funds to the actual delivery node, allowing sellers to more accurately predict the return time for each order.

An order goes through the following stages from placement to fund receipt:

Although it seems that funds can only be released 7 days after the delivery date, in fact, under the new policy, payment can be withdrawn in advance!

◉ Provide a valid tracking number - Use purchased shipping or integrated logistics providers to ensure the tracking number can be scanned by Amazon (at least one physical scan)

◉ Mark as "Shipped" immediately after dispatch

◉ Choose a faster delivery method - The faster the delivery, the earlier the arrival, and the sooner the 7-day countdown begins

The system defaults to automatic settlement: No action required, automatic payment every 14 days, with funds arriving within 3-5 business days. The DD+7 mechanism remains unchanged; however, funds must first go through a 7-day reserve period before entering the settleable balance. Applicable to all sellers.

At the same time, DD+7 brings a new feature called Disburse on Demand (DoD). Under the available funds dropdown in the Payment Control Panel, select "Now" and manually click "Request Payment" to trigger the withdrawal.

Note: Click the "Request Payment" button under the "Standard Order" or "Invoice Payment Order" row. The "Request Payment" button under the "Delayed Transaction" row is not available.

Withdrawals can be made once every 24 hours, with funds arriving within 3-5 business days. Suitable for sellers who need flexible fund allocation. Available to all sellers.

In addition, sellers can choose between standard payment (3-5 business days) or Express Payout (24-hour arrival) in Account Information → Payment Information → Deposit Method.

Express Payout is limited to the US site, requiring a professional sales account in good standing, an associated US bank account, a Visa or Mastercard debit card (issued by a qualified US bank), an active account for over 90 days, and no active policy violations or account freezes. Express Payouts are limited to $1 million per transaction and do not support partial withdrawals.

To help sellers better monitor their funds, Amazon recently launched a new payment report feature. All new DD+7 transactions will be displayed in Delayed Transactions. Note that previously existing DD+7 reserves in the account-level reserve amount will not be migrated to Delayed Transactions.

(1) From "General Ledger" to "Details" (Account Level -> Transaction Level): Previously, sellers could only see the total reserved funds in the account-level reserve amount. Now, all sellers can enter the Payment Control Panel in Seller Central – Payments and see the amount in Delayed Transactions status, as well as view the reserved amount for each transaction in the new Report Library.

(2) Enhanced report functionality: Sellers can now clearly see the status of each transaction (delayed or released) and the release date in the reports generated in the Report Library.

Therefore, it is recommended that sellers use the reports in the Report Library of the Payment Control Panel for clearer reconciliation.
