Frequently Asked Questions
How is marketplace payout calculated?
Payout = Gross Sales - Commission - Fixed Fees x Orders - Refunds - Reserves. With $30,000 sales, 12% commission, $150 fixed, $1,000 refunds, and $1,500 reserves, payout is $23,750.
Why is payout less than profit?
Payout timing adds reserves, holds, and fee-withholding on top of profit deductions. Profit measures economics; payout measures cash you can spend now.
What are rolling reserves?
A percentage held back 30-90 days against refunds and chargebacks, common for new sellers. Reserves eventually release — forecast them as delayed cash, not lost cash.
How do refunds reduce payout?
Marketplaces claw back the full refund plus keep most original fees. High return categories need explicit refund lines in every payout forecast.
How often do marketplaces pay out?
Amazon every 14 days, eBay daily to weekly, Etsy daily, Walmart per settlement cycle. Align supplier payments behind your slowest payout, not your fastest sale.
