Already dealing with the fun of this invoicing nonsense. Had a “business customer” return an order after shipping. Refunded it out of the money that I never got anyway.
But I noticed these payments are now in separate “buckets” in my payments account on Amazon. One payment balance for normal sales, and another one for these invoiced sales.
Because of the return refund, I was charged a $1.93 “return processing fee” from Amazon. So now I have a negative balance in my “invoiced payments” account and if I don’t get another sale soon, amazon is going to charge my credit card on file for this negative balance as a result of their fees which always causes chaos for one reason or another.
