Sellers, your payday’s about to hit the slow lane.
EcommerceBytes reported that starting March 12, 2026, Amazon will roll out its new Delivery Date +7 (DD+7) policy, meaning your funds won’t be released until seven days after an order is delivered.
⏰ The wait just got longer
Yep, you read that right. Not when it ships, not when it’s confirmed, but a full week after the package lands on your buyer’s porch.
Amazon says the move gives it time to “accrue fees” and lets customers “receive and evaluate their orders.”
Sellers, though, see it differently, calling the change a thinly disguised cash-flow chokehold that helps Amazon’s bottom line more than theirs.
The seller forums lit up with frustration:
🗨️ Amazon’s clarification
Moderators later explained that:
Amazon says DD+7 ensures fairer handling of returns and fees, with “Disburse on Demand” still available once funds clear.
Sellers, however, see it as another payout delay that tightens cash flow, a policy that feels less like protection and more like waiting longer to get paid.

BITES OF THE WEEK
SOCIAL PULSE
Gen Z might just be keeping ecommerce on caffeine. According to Digital Journal, this generation is 25% more likely to make impulse purchases online than older shoppers.
A stat that perfectly sums up today’s scroll-now, buy-now culture.
💳 The golden hour of impulse buys
A new Adobe study found that timing, mood, and even payday vibes have a bigger impact on what makes people click “Buy Now” than ever before.
Online shopping runs on a schedule, and knowing it could be your secret sales weapon.
💡 Timing is the new targeting
Gen Z shoppers run on emotion and instant gratification. Launch campaigns right before payday, late at night, or on Fridays, when their “treat yourself” energy peaks.
Pro tip: Personalization seals the deal, especially on discovery-first platforms, where novelty drives clicks and attention disappears fast.
ACTIONABLE ADVICE
Choosing between Amazon’s Individual and Professional plans can make a real difference in your bottom line. Both have perks, but the right choice depends on how you sell, how often you sell, and how fast you plan to grow.
👥 Quick comparison
Here’s what sets the two plans apart:
🧭 Finding the fit
If you’re on the fence, these checkpoints make it clear:
No plan is permanent, Amazon makes switching simple.
To switch:
Go to Seller Central → Account Info → Manage Your Services → Selling on Amazon → Apply Changes.
Pro tip: Time your switch around your billing cycle, review your enrollments, and double-check payouts after the change.
The best plan is the one that fits where you are right now. You can upgrade or downgrade anytime, at no extra cost, so your plan can flex as your business evolves.
