Why won't I get paid from Amazon?

Asked by chelle21689 (7907points) December 26th, 2010

Someone bought a textbook from me for $60. I sent it out a couple weeks ago and still haven’t been paid. Amazon said that my funds are on hold due to a chargeback filed on the order. This may sound stupid of me, but what does this mean and what can I do? I e-mailed the person and they have not responded.

What is a chargeback?

A chargeback occurs when a cardholder contacts their bank to dispute the charge for an order placed on Amazon.com. Chargebacks are also known as “charge disputes” and they can be filed for a variety of reasons, ranging from non-receipt of the item ordered to unauthorized use of the credit card.

Why did I receive a chargeback notification?

A charge dispute was filed for the order you fulfilled. When a customer contacts their credit card company to request a chargeback, the credit card company will contact Amazon.com to request details about the transaction. In turn, Amazon.com will contact you as the seller to request transaction information.

They recently changed it so it’s payment upon shipment. @papayalily said it all, so just be patient.
