Hello fellow sellers,

I’m reaching out to see if anyone else is experiencing a similar issue or has any insight.For the past two days, I’ve noticed that multiple FBA orders are stuck in a "Pending" status, which is unusual for my account.

I contacted Amazon Seller Support, and they confirmed that it’s due to pending buyer payment authorizations. However, this situation has never happened before in my selling history.

Key details:

- I am fulfilling via FBA onlyProducts are priced normally,

-no suspicious spikes in sales or discounts.

- 2 of the pending orders have already been automatically canceled

All affected orders were showing “Pending – Awaiting Payment” in the order dashboard

My concerns:

- Why are buyer payments not going through all of a sudden?

- Is this due to recent system delays, new fraud filters, or a known technical issue?

- How can I prevent such cancellations and avoid reserved inventory being tied up?

I’d appreciate it if anyone from the community (or Amazon moderators) could shed light on:

- Whether this is a wider issue in the UAE or global FBA system

- Any changes to payment authorization timelines

- Tips on avoiding cancellations due to payment delays

Thanks in advance!
