AbeBooks Payment Schedule

AbeBooks bookseller accounts are settled each week.

Every Friday, you receive *advance* email notification of payment for the sales of the previous 7 days.  The payment is transferred to your bank by EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) one week later, on the following Friday. Depending on your bank's own procedures, it can take from 1 to 7 days for the payment to reach your account.

We pay booksellers as soon as we can based on the banking requirements we have to follow when sending funds to so many locations and banks internationally.  Your bank's own procedures once they receive the funds also determine the amount of time it takes for your payment to reach your account.

Payments below USD 1.00, GBP 1.00 or EUR 1.00, will not be issued.  Instead, the balance due to you is carried forward and added to your sales the following week.

Subscription fees are offset against sales on the first Friday of the month. If sales for that week are insufficient to cover the amount owing to AbeBooks, the balance due will be charged to the credit card you have on file with us.
