How do I reconcile Amazon Buy with Prime service and processing fees?

Recompute seller-supplied Buy with Prime service and payment-processing components on redacted DTC orders, then compare net proceeds without mixing in MCF fees.

Separate the DTC order fee scope from fulfillment

Choose a closed Buy with Prime order window and one reporting currency. Keep a seller-owned reference, sale date, optional product and SKU aliases, proceeds before fees, service-fee basis and recorded charge, processing-fee basis and recorded charge, and recorded net proceeds. Remove buyer, address, contact, bank, payment-instrument, and raw order identifiers. Keep MCF fulfillment charges in a separate ledger; mixing fulfillment and storefront fee layers hides which identity failed.

Use the seller's dated terms for both components

Supply the service-fee percentage and flat amount that apply to the service basis, then separately supply the payment-processing percentage and flat amount that apply to its basis. Preserve those bases exactly as sourced instead of assuming they equal order total. Do not fetch or embed a current schedule for a historical sale. When an effective date, waiver, promotion, tax treatment, or basis is uncertain, flag the row for source review rather than inventing a complete fee calculation.

Recompute each fee before rebuilding net proceeds

Calculate each fee as its supplied basis times its supplied percentage plus its flat amount, rounding that component once to cents. Add service and processing fees only after both are rounded, then subtract the total from proceeds before fees. Compare each recorded fee and recorded net proceeds independently within a seller-selected tolerance. A positive service-fee difference must not cancel a negative processing-fee difference or make an unrelated net-proceeds mismatch disappear.

Keep fee, payout, and fulfillment questions distinct

Rank rows with both fee and net differences first, followed by fee-only, net-only, and reconciled rows. Total all four discrepancy directions separately. Use the separate Amazon MCF fee workflow for size, weight, speed, units, and per-unit fulfillment charges, then trace verified components through a payout ledger if necessary. Matching one layer does not validate the others, and no arithmetic result determines whether Amazon applied the correct program terms to an order.

Verify current order and settlement evidence before acting

Open the authorized order, fee detail, and settlement rows for each queued seller alias. Confirm status, fee bases, effective terms, fulfillment charges, refunds, taxes, discounts, credits, adjustments, and export scope. This bounded recompute does not prove Amazon or Buy with Prime charged the wrong fee or owes different proceeds. Friday reads no account, opens no case, requests no credit, moves no money, changes no storefront, order, price, fulfillment setting, or account, and publishes no listing.
