How do Amazon payments work?

Amazon pays sellers through a structured system that ensures secure and timely transactions. Once you make sales, your earnings are sent to your chosen bank account according to Amazon’s payment schedule. Here’s a quick overview of how it works:

1. Sales earnings: Amazon deducts marketplace fees, refunds, and other charges before sending your payment
2. Payment schedules: Payments are made every 14 days, but delays can happen depending on your account’s status or marketplace conditions.
3. Currency options: Amazon pays sellers in the local currency of their marketplace, which may include conversion fees with regular South African bank accounts.
4. Banking details: To receive payouts, you’ll need to link a bank account in Amazon Seller Central, and you can easily do this with your Grey account.
