Currently, both sellers and employees of Amazon are paid weekly after their first week or 7 days either of working at or selling through Amazon. When Amazon makes the direct deposit payment, it takes about 3-5 business days for the money to arrive in the account. If Amazon sends checks, then they will come in the mail at about the same time. If you require funds earlier then you will be able to make a transfer request for the first half of the paycheck. However, Amazon doesn’t approve these requests more frequently.
