# 0.5 Sell & Get Paid

This is the part most new sellers have the least visibility into ahead of time: what actually happens between a shipment landing at Amazon and money landing in your account.

### After your shipment arrives

* [ ] Watch for fulfillable status. Amazon will receive, and move your stock around before it settles where it needs to be. You can monitor this through Seller Central to see where your products actually are.

### Your first sale

* [ ] First sale timing varies, don't panic inside the first week. New accounts have no history, no reviews, and take a while to settle. It's normal to take a few days to get your first sale.

### Getting paid

* [ ] Payouts run on a 14-day cycle from account activation, check your exact date in Seller Central's Payments dashboard. Amazon keep some funds in reserve to cover returns, or damages.
