Amazon Bazaar Global Expansion

Brand vs. Bazaar: Why Amazon’s New Platform Is Good News for Premium Sellers

You’ve seen the news: Amazon is rolling out “Amazon Bazaar” globally, launching a new, standalone app in over a dozen markets to directly combat low-cost giants like Temu and Shein. On the surface, it looks like more competition. But for serious brands, it’s the opposite. This is the “Great Bifurcation”—Amazon is strategically splitting the marketplace, and this is good news for you. What Is Amazon Bazaar? Amazon Bazaar is a separate, app-based marketplace focused on unbranded, ultra-low-cost goods. Price Point: The items are almost all under $10, with some as low as $2. In India, the cap is around ₹600. Categories: Fashion, home goods, lifestyle, and accessories. The Model: It’s built to win the price war. It features a 0% referral fee for sellers in some markets and uses a slower, low-cost fulfillment network (deliveries can take two weeks), not premium FBA. This isn’t an “Amazon.com” experience. This is a Temu-killer. Why This Is Good News: The “Premium Brand” Moat Amazon’s move clarifies the entire ecosystem. It effectively quarantines the “race to the bottom” to a separate platform. This leaves the main Amazon.com platform to do what it does best: sell trusted brands at a premium. For years, you’ve had to fight for the Buy Box against generic, unbranded sellers. Now, Amazon is building them their own sandbox to play in. This frees you to stop competing on price and start competing on value. Here’s your new playbook. Logistics = Your Primary Weapon Bazaar’s weakness is velocity. Their deliveries are slow. Your Prime Badge is now your single greatest differentiator. It is a promise of trust and 1-2 day speed. Your Move: Double down on FBA and AWD. Your “storage as strategy” (using AWD as a buffer for FBA) is what ensures you are always in-stock with the Prime Badge, making you the clear choice over a 2-week-wait from Bazaar. Brand = Your CVR Lever Bazaar is explicitly for “unbranded” or “generic” products. This means they cannot use the brand-building tools that you can. Your Move: Your Brand Story and Premium A+ Content are no longer “nice-to-haves.” They are your core CVR-driving defense. They are how you justify your price point, build trust, and communicate quality that a generic “Bazaar” listing never can. Trust = Your Justification for Price The Bazaar shopper is hunting for a $2 deal. The Amazon.com shopper is willing to pay $20 for a product they trust will arrive on time and be what they ordered. Your Move: Leverage your reviews. Invest in customer service. Your entire brand presence must communicate reliability. This is what justifies your margin in a post-Bazaar world. KPI Dashboard to Run Every Week CVR Lift from P-A+: Are you proving your brand’s value? Prime-Eligible CVR vs. Non-Prime: Is your velocity winning the click? AOV: Are you successfully bundling and upselling, something Bazaar can’t do? New-to-Brand (NTB) Rate: Are you attracting premium shoppers, not just price-hunters? Where Big Internet Ecommerce (BIE) Fits In We are not an agency for “Bazaar” sellers. We are an agency for premium brands. We don’t build race-to-the-bottom listings; we build brand moats. Brand Story & Creator Ops: We build the Premium A+ and Brand Story assets that lift CVR and make your brand the obvious, trusted choice. Unit Economics Lab: We build the FBA/AWD logistics model that weaponizes your Prime Badge, ensuring your velocity beats the slow-ship competition. Funnel Intelligence: We build the ad funnels (DSP, PMax → Attribution) that find and convert premium shoppers who value quality and trust over the lowest possible price.

Amazon BFCM 2025 Strategy

BFCM (Black Friday and Cyber Monday) Is a Logistics Test, Not a Sale: Your 4-Part Execution Plan

Every year, Amazon publishes its official guide for Black Friday & Cyber Monday. It’s full of tips: “Run deals,” “Optimize listings,” “Use ads.” This is not a strategy. It’s a to-do list. A strategy understands that BFCM (Black Friday and Cyber Monday) isn’t a sales weekend; it’s a high-stakes execution test where your profit is defined by decisions you made 6-8 weeks earlier. Winning BFCM (Black Friday and Cyber Monday) is about winning four distinct battles, in this specific order. The Logistics Battle (Won in October) This is the most critical part. If you fail here, nothing else matters. FBA Inbound Deadline: You MUST get your inventory to FBA by Amazon’s deadline (around mid-October). Missing it means you’ll stock out on Day 1, and all the ad spend in the world is just funding “404s.” AWD is Your Buffer: Use AWD (Amazon Warehousing & Distribution) for its intended purpose: a high-velocity replenishment buffer. Its peak storage fees are ~80% lower than FBA’s, making it the perfect place to hold your 6-8 week “safety stock” and auto-replenish FBA. FBM/3PL is Your Insurance: Have a Seller-Fulfilled Prime or 3PL backup plan ready. When FBA check-in times lag, or you hit restock limits, this is your only way to stay in the game. The CVR Battle (Won in Early November) Do not spend one extra dollar on ads until you fix your conversion rate. Mobile is Everything: 70-80% of your traffic will be on a phone. Is your A+ Content optimized for a single-column view? Does your main image show the product and the deal? Optimize for the “Deal Hunter”: Your listing needs to scream “deal.” We run CVR sprints 4 weeks out to: Add seasonal keywords: “Black Friday deal,” “holiday gift”. Get the Badge: Ensure your price is eligible for the official “Black Friday Deal” badge, which is a massive CVR and CTR driver. Refresh Creative: Update A+ Content with “Holiday Gift Guide” modules and lifestyle images. The Ad Battle (Won Hourly) BFCM (Black Friday and Cyber Monday) advertising is an auction-style war, not a “set it and forget it” campaign. Launch 4 Weeks Early: Launch your core BFCM (Black Friday and Cyber Monday) ad campaigns in late October. This builds relevance and data history with the algorithm before bids skyrocket. Budget for the Spike: Plan to increase bids and budgets by 10-30% (or more). You must have enough budget to last the entire day. Track Profit, Not ACoS: ACoS is a vanity metric on BFCM (Black Friday and Cyber Monday). We track Profit-per-SKU. We build hourly dashboards to monitor performance, pulling budget from “discovery” campaigns and pushing it into “defensive” (your ASINs) and “conquest” (competitor) campaigns. The LTV Battle (Won in December) The sale is just customer acquisition. The real profit is in the “after-party.” Tag Everything: Use Amazon Attribution for all your external traffic (social, email, influencers). You need to know which channels brought you “New-to-Brand” (NTB) customers. Retarget Your Buyers: You just paid to acquire thousands of new customers. Use Amazon’s tools to retarget them in December with “complementary product” campaigns or “Subscribe & Save” offers to turn a one-time buyer into a long-term asset. Where Big Internet Ecommerce (BIE) Fits In We don’t just “manage” BFCM (Black Friday and Cyber Monday). We build the 4-part execution plan that guarantees profitability. We implement: An Inbound Profitability Model: We calculate your exact inventory needs (FBA vs. AWD) against your sales forecast to protect margins. CVR & Creative Sprints: We A/B test and deploy “deal-ready” listings optimized for mobile conversion. An Ad “War Room” Dashboard: We manage your ad spend hourly, tracking SKU-level profit and reallocating budget to proven winners in real-time. Post-BFCM Funnel: We build the LTV-driving retargeting campaigns that turn your BFCM (Black Friday and Cyber Monday) spike into Q1-Q2 growth. Get your BFCM (Black Friday and Cyber Monday) logistics and profit plan built by experts. Book a 20-min session with Big Internet Ecommerce (BIE) today!

Google Ads Channel Performance Beta

Google Performance Max Opened the Black Box: How Amazon Sellers Can Use the New “Channel Performance” Report to Drive Sales

For years, Google’s Performance Max (PMax) has been a double-edged sword: a powerful automation engine trapped inside a “black box”. You could feed it creative and budgets, but you had almost no visibility into which channels—Search, Shopping, YouTube, or Display—were actually receiving that budget or, more importantly, driving conversions. That frustration is finally ending. Google is rolling out the “Channel Performance (Beta)” report, a new insight tool that shows metrics (cost, conversions, conversion value, etc.) broken down by channel. For Amazon sellers, this isn’t just a new report. It’s the key to building a profitable external traffic machine. Here’s the Big Internet Ecommerce (BIE) playbook. Why This Matters for Amazon Sellers This new Performance Max data, on its own, is just a “nice-to-see” dashboard. It becomes an actionable profit lever only when paired with Amazon Attribution. Running external traffic from Google to Amazon without this combination is a critical mistake. You are flying blind, unable to distinguish between: High-Intent Traffic: A user clicking a “Shopping” ad, ready to buy. Low-Intent Traffic: A user passively seeing a “Display” ad, just browsing. Previously, Performance Max blended this data, and your “Cost per Acquisition” was a meaningless average. Now, you can separate them. The New Strategic Loop: Google Data → Amazon Data → Action This new report unlocks a simple, three-step loop to optimize your external ad spend. Analyze the Performance Max Channel Report: Log in to Google Ads and open your Performance Max campaign. In the “Insights” tab, you’ll find the new “Channel Performance” report. You will immediately see which channels are eating your budget vs. which are driving clicks and conversions. (e.g., You see 60% of spend went to “YouTube” but 90% of conversions came from “Shopping.”) Cross-Reference with Amazon Attribution: This is the step most sellers miss. Now, open your Amazon Attribution dashboard. Look at the campaigns you’ve tagged. You can confirm what Google thinks is a conversion (a click) vs. what Amazon knows is a conversion (an Add to Cart or Purchase). (e.g., You confirm the “Shopping” clicks converted at 12% on your Storefront, while the “YouTube” clicks converted at 0.2%.) Execute: Re-align Assets-to-Channel Now you have proven, actionable intelligence. You must stop feeding Performance Max “one-size-fits-all” creative. For your winning “Shopping” channel: Double down. Feed Performance Max more high-quality product images, titles optimized for your Amazon keywords, and text highlighting price, reviews, or Prime eligibility. For your “YouTube” channel: It’s spending but not converting. This is not a failure; it’s an awareness play. Stop feeding it “Buy Now” assets. Instead, feed it your Brand Story video or a Premium A+ Content-style brand video to warm up the top of your funnel. KPI Dashboard to Run Every Week Performance Max Cost per Channel (Google Data) Performance Max CVR per Channel (Google Data) Amazon CVR per Performance Max Channel (Attribution Data) Amazon ROAS per Performance Max Channel (Attribution Data) Budget % (Awareness Channels) vs. Budget % (Conversion Channels) Where Big Internet Ecommerce (BIE) Fits In We don’t just “run external traffic.” We build the full-funnel intelligence loop that makes it profitable. We implement: Full-Stack Attribution: We connect your Google Ads account to your Amazon Attribution dashboard correctly, ensuring data flows from the first click to the final sale. Asset-to-Channel Mapping: We analyze the new Performance Max data and build the correct creative for the correct channel (e.g., brand-story for YouTube, conversion-focused for Shopping) to maximize your total funnel CVR. SKU-Level Budget Realignment: We shift your Performance Max budget based on this new, combined dataset, funding the Google channels that are proven to drive profitable unit sales on Amazon. Get your “External Traffic Intelligence” audit to see which Google channels are really funding your Amazon growth. Book a 20-min session with Big Internet Ecommerce (BIE) today!

Amazon seller growth strategy

Amazon’s 25 Years with Sellers: How to Turn the Milestone into Your Next 5 Years of Growth

The headline—25 years and $2.5T+ in seller sales—is impressive. But the real question for operators is: How do we convert that legacy into the next five years of profitable growth? This playbook distills the durable advantages Amazon built for independent sellers and turns them into a 90-day plan you can execute now. The Compounding Advantages Sellers Can Leverage  1) AI-Native Creative & Catalogue Ops Generate and iterate titles, bullets, images, A+ and videos weekly. Use structured testing (one variable at a time) and lock in winners to raise CVR. 2) Funnel Intelligence Beats Guesswork Read the customer journey by ASIN (awareness → consideration → intent → purchase). Pair journey signals with search query insights to fund the exact stage that leaks. 3) Logistics as a Growth Lever Build a breakpoint model for AWD vs FBA vs SIPP vs SPD/LTL/FTL. Compress delivery promises where it matters (category-dependent) to lift CVR and rank velocity. 4) B2B as a Second Flywheel Turn on Business pricing + quantity tiers and badge eligibility. Automate updates so B2B discounts track retail price changes without margin drift. 5) Price Integrity, Story, and Trust Premium A+ + UGC + reviews justify margin as pricing transparency rises. Focus on real value claims and consistent brand cues across images and copy. A 90-Day Execution Plan  Days 1–30: Foundation & Signals AI Listing Sprint: 3–5 ASINs, weekly creatives (titles, main image swap tests, Premium A+ draft). Funnel Snapshot: Identify the stage with biggest leakage per ASIN; set one hypothesis per SKU. Inbound Breakpoints: Model SPD vs LTL vs FTL and AWD vs FBA; set target DOS (6–8 weeks). Days 31–60: Scale What Works Creative Lock-Ins: Promote winners to all placements; produce sponsor-ready video variants. B2B Setup: Business prices + 2–3 quantity tiers; monitor badge eligibility and lift. SIPP/Packaging Audit: Ready-to-ship packaging to reduce fees and damage rates; standardize pallet specs. Days 61–90: Compounding Systems Automation: Pricing rules (incl. B2B), dayparting/budget rules tied to funnel stage. Brand System: Premium A+ deployment + UGC briefs; review velocity plan (compliant). Scorecard: Cost per acquisition, CVR, unit margin, OOS %, lead time variance, B2B mix. Mistakes to Avoid (Save Margin & Time) Treating AI as “set and forget” (it’s a testing engine, not a shortcut). Funding impressions without fixing the funnel stage that’s leaking. Storing long-term in pricey nodes (optimize AWD/FBA mix and cadence). B2B without rules—tiers should be margin-aware and automated. “Discount theatre” instead of value storytelling (Premium A+, reviews, UGC). Where Big Internet Ecommerce (BIE) Fits In At BigInternetEcommerce.com, we operationalize your next 5 years: AI Listing Sprints for rapid creative gains. Funnel Realignment (ASIN-level journey + SQP-informed budgeting). Unit Economics Lab (AWD/FBA/SIPP breakpoints, replen rhythm, fee risk checks). B2B Scaling Kit (business pricing playbook and automation). Brand Story Engine (Premium A+ + UGC briefs that raise CVR). Want our 1-page “Next 5 Years” roadmap tailored to your top 10 ASINs?

Amazon LTL Partner Carrier Program

Pay Less to Stock More: How to Use Amazon LTL (Less-than-truckload) Partner Carriers for Inbound to FBA, MCF & AWD

As inventory scales, the wrong inbound mode (too much SPD (Small parcel delivery), poorly timed FTL) eats margin quietly. The Amazon Partner Carrier Program (PCP) puts LTL (Less-than-truckload) quoting, labeling, and appointments into Send to Amazon, so you can move palletized freight more cheaply and compliantly. This guide shows when LTL (Less-than-truckload) wins, how to prep pallets, and the exact steps to book your first PCP shipment. LTL vs. SPD vs. FTL (and when to switch) SPD (Small parcel delivery):Best for low volume or urgent top-ups; cost per unit spikes as cartons grow. LTL (less-than-truckload): Shared trailer space; sweet spot for ~2–12 pallets; strong cost/unit and reliable ETAs. FTL (full truckload): Whole 53’ trailer; best for high volume and direct transit with minimal touches. Pro move: Build a breakpoint table per lane (origin → destination), comparing SPD, LTL, FTL at your common pallet counts. Why book LTL inside Send to Amazon (PCP)? Native workflow: Quotes, labels, tracking in one place. Appointment compliance: Carriers used to Amazon docks and reference IDs. Scalability: Repeatable templates for replenishment waves (weekly/bi-weekly). Pallet, site & document standards Palletization: 40×48 in, wood, 4-way access (GMA B grade or better) Boxes even & square, no overhang; box labels outward Stretch wrap tight; pallet labels on all 4 sides “Do not break down” note for carriers if needed Site readiness: Dock preferred; or lift-gate if no dock (≤12 pallets / ≤20,000 lb) Space for 53’ trailer or arrange a box truck Clear, safe staging area; steady business hours for pickup Docs & references: In PCP, Amazon manages delivery appointments; your booking needs accurate contact, hours, and pickup details. Track everything in Shipping Queue → Shipment events Step-by-step: LTL Partner Carrier booking Send to Amazon: Inventory → Shipments → Send to Amazon Pack & confirm method: Choose LTL (Less-than-truckload); select Partner Carrier to see rates Labels: Print box and pallet labels (all four sides) Pickup & tracking: Confirm freight-ready date/hours; monitor in Shipping Queue For AWD: Inventory → Warehousing & Distribution (AWD) → Send to AWD → select Partner Carrier → labels → track) Cost levers most brands miss Carton consolidation: fewer, fuller cartons → fewer pallets → lower accessorials. Standard heights: consistent pallet heights reduce handling exceptions. Lane repetition: sticking to repeat lanes often improves quote consistency. Damage prevention: correct wrap & corner protection cut OS&D, rework, and fees. Replen cadence: plan 2–12 pallet cycles; keep 6–8 weeks DOS at FBA; use AWD as short buffer (not long-term storage). KPI dashboard to run every week Cost per unit inbound (by lane & mode) Lead time variance (pickup → check-in) Damage/OS&D rate Dock exception rate (labels/pallet spec/appointments) Fill rate & pallet utilization (height & cube) Where Big Internet Ecommerce (BIE) fits in At BigInternetEcommerce.com, we implement: Inbound breakpoint calculator (SPD vs LTL vs FTL by lane / pallet count), Pallet & labeling SOP (ready for any 3PL/warehouse), Send to Amazon templates for PCP, Scorecard tracking $/unit, lead time, and exceptions.

Amazon FBM Ship+

Amazon’s FBM Ship+: How Sellers Can Deliver at FBA Speed Without Losing Control

Amazon’s latest fulfillment evolution, FBM Ship+, is reshaping how sellers approach logistics. For years, sellers have faced a tradeoff: FBA offered fast delivery and Prime visibility, while FBM provided control and cost flexibility. Now, with FBM Ship+, Amazon is blurring that line — giving FBM sellers predictive delivery, faster shipping, and verified delivery promises, all while maintaining warehouse independence. What Is FBM Ship+ and How It Works FBM Ship+ allows self-fulfilling sellers to use Amazon’s predictive logistics system and partner carriers to offer fast, verified delivery times. Here’s how the system operates: Predictive Model: AI analyzes past shipment performance and adjusts delivery promises dynamically. Faster Carrier Routes: Partner carriers reduce transit by up to 2.5 days. Optimized Estimates: Predictive modeling trims another 6.5 days off expected delivery time. Automation: Amazon automates handling times and applies discounted Buy Shipping rates. Rebates: Sellers earn per-order cashback incentives during launch windows. Supported currently for China-to-major-market routes, Amazon plans domestic expansion in 2026. The Strategic Implications for Sellers Why it matters: Conversion Boost: Listings with verified delivery windows saw an average 34% sales lift. 2. Inventory Control: Sellers retain flexibility over stock and packaging, unlike FBA storage. 3. Lower Fees: Reduced storage and handling costs make FBM viable for mid-margin SKUs. 4. Faster Prime Eligibility: Verified delivery unlocks Prime-like visibility even for FBM listings. But it’s not all upside. Sellers must maintain high on-time delivery rates and handle potential overpromising by Amazon’s algorithms. Poor performance could mean removal from the program — or worse, negative account health impacts. Big Internet Ecommerce’s Framework for FBM Ship+ Sellers At Big Internet Ecommerce, we guide sellers through Amazon fulfillment transitions. Our support includes: Cost Modeling: FBA vs FBM+Ship+ break-even analysis. Performance Planning: Benchmarks to maintain Ship+ eligibility. Predictive Metrics Setup: Integrating real-time delivery analytics into Seller Central dashboards. Operational SOPs: Training your team to handle AI-adjusted delivery commitments. FBM Ship+ could redefine how sellers balance speed and control. It offers the promise of FBA-level delivery performance — without Amazon owning your inventory. But that promise comes with responsibility. Sellers who can maintain precision and consistency will thrive; those who can’t may find Ship+ demanding. At BigInternetEcommerce.com, we help you model, prepare, and execute — so you can scale at FBA speed, without FBA constraints. Want to find out whether FBM Ship+ fits your Amazon business model?

Amazon AI Video Generator and Predictive Return Analysis

Amazon’s AI Video Generator & Predictive Return Dashboard: How Vendors Can Save Costs and Stay Ahead

Amazon is doubling down on AI and data-driven automation for its vendors. Two major new tools — the AI Video Generator and Predictive Return Analysis dashboard — aim to make creative production faster and return management smarter. For vendors managing hundreds of ASINs or global campaigns, these innovations offer a powerful mix of speed, savings, and foresight. What’s New for Vendors in 2025–2026 1. AI Video Generator: Fast, Free, and Ad-Ready Amazon’s AI Video Generator lets vendors produce Sponsored Ad videos directly from their product detail pages. Key features include: Automatic content extraction (images, descriptions, logo, CTA) Customizable text, music, and layouts Integration with Sponsored Brands and Product Ads This means no more long production cycles or expensive agency edits — vendors can launch new video campaigns in hours, not weeks. 2. Predictive Return Analysis in Concessions Hub This new dashboard gives vendors a forward-looking view of return-related losses. It aggregates metrics like: Conceded units and concession rate Shipped units Critical review rate per ASIN The system then projects potential losses over the next 30 days, helping vendors act early. For example: If a vendor’s return rate spikes for one ASIN, the dashboard might reveal it’s due to damaged packaging or fulfillment issues. Fixing that upstream prevents future returns and restores margin health. How This Changes Vendor Operations Marketing Efficiency: Video generation now takes minutes, enabling faster product launches and creative testing. Financial Foresight: Predictive dashboards turn return management from reactive to proactive. Cross-Team Visibility: Vendor teams can connect marketing and operations through shared dashboards, improving coordination between ads and inventory. ROI Impact: Less ad production cost + fewer defective returns = stronger bottom line. Big Internet Ecommerce’s Playbook for Smart Vendors At Big Internet Ecommerce (BIE), we help vendors transform these Amazon tools into growth drivers: 1. Integrate the AI Video Generator with creative frameworks that boost CTR. 2. Pair Predictive Return data with Profit Analytics to identify hidden margin leaks. 3. Build vendor dashboards tracking both ad performance and return trends. 4. Optimize ad spend using new Amazon automation tools for Sponsored Ads. Amazon’s latest tools signal a bigger shift: AI and predictive analytics are becoming the backbone of successful Vendor operations. By combining these insights with data-led execution, vendors can produce faster ads, cut costs, and prevent returns before they happen — all while staying ahead in Amazon’s increasingly automated ecosystem.

DD+7 Amazon payout policy

Delivery-Date–based reserve (DD+7) Amazon Payout Policy Explained (2025→2026): Cash-Flow Risks, Timelines, and a Seller Playbook

Amazon sellers, take note — a major change is coming that will affect when you actually get paid. Starting March 12, 2026, Amazon will roll out its Delivery-Date–based reserve (DD+7) payout policy, meaning sellers will receive funds seven days after the customer’s delivery date — not when the order ships or when delivery is confirmed. This may sound like a small shift, but for Amazon businesses that rely on steady cash flow to restock inventory, pay suppliers, or fund advertising, those extra seven days can create serious ripple effects. Under Delivery-Date–based reserve (DD+7), Amazon essentially holds your funds in reserve for an additional week to account for potential returns or buyer disputes. While this protects customer experience, it also means sellers need to plan for delayed liquidity, especially during Q4 peaks, Prime Day, or high-volume launches. We’ll break down: What the Delivery-Date–based reserve (DD+7) payout policy really means for Amazon sellers How it impacts cash flow, operations, and account health Practical strategies to prepare your business before it takes effect How Big Internet Ecommerce (BIE) can help you stay profitable under the new timeline By the end, you’ll have a clear roadmap to manage payouts, inventory, and ad spend more strategically — without letting Amazon’s payout delay slow down your growth. What is Delivery-Date–based reserve (DD+7)? Amazon is standardizing a delivery-date–based reserve: funds become eligible 7 days after the order’s confirmed delivery date (“DD+7”), then disburse on your next payout. Amazon’s help page explicitly describes payments based on delivery date with a standard 7-day reserve. Communications and industry coverage indicate expanded enforcement (EU 2025; US targeted for March 12, 2026). What this changes: Under the prior norm, many sellers planned around predictable cycles; Delivery-Date–based reserve (DD+7) ties eligibility to delivery, extending cash lead times — often ~10–12 days from delivery to deposit.  How Delivery-Date–based reserve (DD+7) impacts operations Cash flow: Working capital tightens when deposits shift back a week. Inventory: Small POs and stock-outs risk Buy Box/share loss. Ad spend: Aggressive promos during tight windows can drain liquidity. Reporting: Tools can show lower recent revenue/profit because the last week sits in reserve. Concrete timeline example Delivered Oct 1 → eligible Oct 8 → hits bank on your next disbursement/clearing (commonly a few days later).  Big Internet Ecommerce’s 6-step Delivery-Date–based reserve (DD+7) playbook (use today) Cash-flow model Rebuild a 13-week cash forecast with Delivery-Date–based reserve (DD+7) offsets by channel and ASIN. Maintain 10–14 days buffer. (If you need a templated sheet, we’ll share it on the call.) Inventory cadence Shorten cycles; stage POs; bias to fast-turn, high-GMROII SKUs. Avoid starving top ASINs. Ad & promo rules Only fund in-stock, profitable ASINs. During tight weeks, focus on ranking-friendly DSP/SB tactics with measured budgets; pause deep couponing until cash clears. Delivery & refunds automation Enable carrier-event alerts and automate refunds within SLA to prevent A-to-Z spikes while cash is tight. Account Health monitoring Watch Late Shipment Rate, ODR, Cancellation Rate weekly; micro-intervene before a review escalates. Working capital (careful use) Consider short-term facilities as a bridge, not a habit; calculate true cost vs margin. (Avoid high-APR “permanent” debt.) FAQs (quick answers) Q1. What is Delivery-Date–based reserve (DD+7)?  A1. Delivery date + 7 days before funds become eligible. Q2. When do I actually get money?  A2. Often ~10–12 days after delivery depending on cycle/clearing. Q3. Will Amazon extend the reserve beyond 7 days?  A3. Reserves can vary by risk/account history; some forums report extensions. Q4. Does this affect reporting?  A4. Yes — recent days may look “light” in tools under Delivery-Date–based reserve (DD+7). Q5. Where can I read Amazon’s wording?  A5. See Payments based on delivery date help page (Seller Central).  How Big Internet Ecommerce (BIE) helps you win under Delivery-Date–based reserve (DD+7) We plug Delivery-Date–based reserve (DD+7) into your cash model, PO schedule, and ad strategy, then install delivery/refund automations and an Account Health watchlist so you scale without liquidity shocks.
