View your reserved payments in the new Deferred Transactions report
As part of our Payments based on delivery date policy, we typically reserve your sales proceeds until seven days after an order is delivered.
To provide you with more visibility into these funds that we've reserved, we've added a new deferred transactions status on the Payments dashboard.
By November 1, your delivery date reserve amounts will display as Deferred transactions in the Total balance box at the top of the Payments dashboard. Until then, they may still display under the account-level reserve field on your Payments dashboard and reports. Note that if you aren't subject to our delivery date policy, your dashboard won't be changed.
To view more details, click the deferred transactions balance. The Transaction view page will display the list of orders that make up this balance, the deferral reason, and the estimated payment release date for each order.
To download a detailed report of your deferred transactions, follow these steps:
- Go to Payments reports repository.
- Under Report type, select Deferred transaction.
- Click Request report.
When a transaction is updated from deferred to released, it will no longer be included on the Deferred Transaction report. To download all released transactions from a specific period, select the Transaction report type.
Only new transactions posted after this change will show as deferred. Older transactions will remain reserved under account-level reserves until they are released for payment. You may also still see an account-level reserve if one of your orders has received a claim or chargeback, or if your account is under review.
Note that deferred transactions won't be included in the chart on the Payments dashboard, and they will only appear there after they're released.

Here's an idea. Why don't you pay us when the customer has paid? You're sitting on millions of pounds of seller's money, whilst many sellers are stuggling for cashflow. It's not justified.
You've just seen your cashflow swell with the recent VAT change. Do the right thing and help your sellers out.

This new payment dashboard is a complete car crash. Prior to this change everything was easy to understand. Now it takes an age to work out how to account for the sales you have had.
Today I also noticed something worrying. I printed out the last transaction period on Thursday. I went to check the same transaction period today and the details had changed. Some orders that were showing on Friday had disappeared. This is going to cause serious issues when it comes to tax returns etc as we could be missing sales we have had. So be careful.

Can someone clarify when the transactions will show in the Transaction Report under report repository.
Will it be as currently when the order is shipped or when it is released?
This is important for anyone who uses transaction reporting to aid their VAT reporting to HMRC.

I had this recently for the first time and was unable to find a reason. I opened a support case which bounced back and forth asking me to provide specific details, which I did, but they stopped replying. I had to wait a month to get paid, which is outrageous, and way longer than the alleged margin of 7 days for making sure a book arrives before you let me get paid for it. I provided tracking so it should be beyond doubt that I should get paid a lot sooner. I don't work on credit terms or indeed receive them so I'm just another one for whom this delay messes up accounting something shocking. No thought for the small sellers as usual.

Just let us have the money. eBay does it. Etsy does it. Shopify does it. But I guess you'd miss out on billions in interest and returns on financial markets if didn't hold our cash, right?
Seller_PtWmdOUhn6u1v
It's not true that deferral is DD +7. I am being given payment dates 3 weeks at least after the order, and no option to request earlier payout as there used to be. If the funds are held for DD+7 then after that it should be possible to request disbursement as we used to be able to do. Please explain if this is still possible and if not, why not!!
