Amazon Seller Settlement Intelligence

Amazon Settlement Reconciliation Software

An Amazon settlement report contains itemized order revenues, category referral fees, fixed closing fees, Easy Ship or FBA weight handling charges, promotional discounts, and fulfillment storage fees. Because these multi-layered deductions are deducted before disbursement, an Amazon seller's "Total Sales" figure in Seller Central never equals their net bank deposit.

How Amazon Settlements Work

Amazon compiles transactions into periodic disbursement batches. Understanding how each fee type is calculated is critical to detecting leakages.

Referral & Closing Fees

Referral fees are category-percentage commissions charged on product price, while closing fees apply based on price slabs. Rates should be cross-verified regularly against Seller Central rate schedules.

Easy Ship & FBA Charges

Logistics fees depend on physical weight, volumetric dimensions, and delivery zones (Local, Regional, National). Incorrect weight slabs lead to silent margin erosion.

Refunds & SAFE-T Claims

Customer returns trigger refund debits plus refund administration fees. When items are returned damaged or missing, sellers must file timely SAFE-T claims for reimbursement.

Financial Clarity

Why Your Amazon Settlement Doesn't Match Your Bank Deposit

Amazon disbursements rarely match a seller's internal gross revenue expectations because settlement reports deduct multiple operational expenses before sending funds to your bank.

  • Account Level Reserves: Funds temporarily held for customer return buffers or policy reviews.
  • Promotional Rebates & Ad Deductions: Sponsored Product campaign charges deducted directly from settlement balances.
  • TCS & TDS Deductions: Mandatory GST TCS and Section 194-O TDS tax withholdings reflected on payout statements.

Auditing Commission Accuracy

Even minor listing errors can misclassify an ASIN under a higher commission bracket. Learn how Profimode compares each transaction against category cards in our dedicated Marketplace Fee & Commission Audit Guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Amazon settlement reconciliation and fee audits.

To reconcile Amazon settlements, download the flat file V2 settlement report from Amazon Seller Central under Payments Reports. Match each Order ID against your internal sales database, subtract category referral fees, closing fees, and Easy Ship or FBA weight handling deductions, and compare the final disbursement amount against the bank deposit UTR reference.
Amazon settlements deviate from gross sales and bank deposits due to multiple scheduled deductions: referral fee commissions, closing fees based on price slabs, FBA storage and pick-and-pack charges, customer refund adjustments, and account-level reserves held for returns or disputes.
You can verify commission accuracy by cross-referencing the referral fee percentage deducted on each line item in your settlement report against Amazon's official category rate card. Listing misclassifications or sub-category errors can cause automated overcharges that require dispute correction.
Identify missing payments by auditing dispatched order IDs against settled transactions. Any order that remains unsettled past Amazon's standard disbursement schedule (typically 7 to 14 days following delivery) indicates an unpaid order, a pending customer return deduction, or an unreleased reserve.
A SAFE-T claim allows sellers to request reimbursement when an Amazon customer receives a refund for an item that was returned damaged or in an unsellable condition. Profimode tracks refunded orders and surfaces eligible unreturned units so sellers can file SAFE-T claims before deadlines expire.
