Reconciliation process

You may notice that payments from different orders/items are consolidated into a single payment, in which case the remittance report can provide a breakdown of which orders were consolidated into which payment.

Use the PO # on the Remittance Info report to identify the order the payment is being made for.

Types of fees are deducted from payments

Returns

Deductions made after the product has been marked as returned or adjusted in Seller Portal, regardless if the seller or Sears marked the item as returned/adjusted. These funds were deducted from the EFT associated with that line item of the report.

The PO # listed on the report, will match the corresponding adjustment or return on the Purchase Order in Seller Portal.

On the report, look at the column “Adjustment Type.” “Return” = Qty used to refund.  “Sale_refund” = dollar amount adjusted instead of qty.

Monthly Program Fees

To be on the Marketplace, you are charged a monthly program fee of $39.99. If you have indicated EFT Transaction in your account settings under Billing Information, Monthly Program Fee Payment Type. The fee will be deducted from one of your payments during the month.

To identify this deduction, Type = MP Monthly Program Fee. The Invoice Id will follow this pattern:  O{Y}048{XXXX}.

Y = last digit of the fiscal year.  048 is a static #. The last 4 digits are the unique claim identifier.

Adjustment

Adjustments may be related to a manual credit or deduction made on your account for certain orders.  If you are not able to identify the source of this, please contact us using Topic: Seller Portal Reports & Subtopic: Remittance Information Report.

Payment Frequency

If you have select automatic invoicing, payments are transferred into your account between 13-15 days after the order is shipped with valid tracking information and invoiced. For example, if you received an order yesterday, but provided tracking information and marked it as ‘Shipped’ in the seller portal today, you would receive a deposit in your account 15 days from today. This information would then appear on the Remittance Report about 2 days later.

If you have selected manual invoicing, payments are transferred into your account within 13-15 days after you create an invoice.

Getting Help

Payment review

Please check to make sure the order was fulfilled with a valid tracking information in Seller Portal. If a member contacted us, we always first contact your customer service, however if you are non-responsive and the tracking number provide is not valid, we will immediately refund the member and it will appear as a return in Seller Portal and in your Remittance Info report.

What if the tracking was valid and we did not receive payment for the order?

1. Make sure the order is invoiced in Seller Portal. If you do not have automatic invoicing turned on, you will not get paid until after the order has been invoiced.

2. Has it been 15 days?  If not, be patient and wait another day or two.

3. Did you recently change your bank information? Make sure that you have received confirmation from our AP team that the bank change is complete.
