Why do Amazon fees post days after the sale?
Common seller question · Read on agentxray.ai: the fee posting date article
Answer · AgentXray team
Amazon fees post days after the sale due to a lag between the purchase date of an order and the date the associated fees appear in the settlement. This lag can range from 7.5 to 13 days, meaning that while revenue from sales is recorded on the purchase date, the fees for those sales are recorded later. As a result, profit figures calculated based on purchase dates may initially appear higher than they will be once the fees are accounted for. This discrepancy can affect decision-making regarding ad spend, pricing, and promotions, as recent orders may not have their fees posted yet. For more details, you can refer to the Amazon fees posted date vs purchase date page.
