We want to learn how sellers ensure they receive the money they are entitled to from marketplaces and identify discrepancies, incorrect charges and missed recoveries.

We are interested in real-world experiences across Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, Myntra, Walmart, eBay, Shopify and other ecommerce platforms.

We'd appreciate your insights on any of the following:

1. Payments & Reconciliation

• How do you reconcile marketplace settlements with Tally or other accounting software and bank receipts?

• How do you identify and explain differences between expected and actual payments?

2. Incorrect Charges & Recoveries

• How do you identify incorrect commissions, shipping/fulfilment fees, taxes, refunds or other deductions?

• How do you track missing or insufficient reimbursements, claims, deadlines and escalations?

3. Warehouse Transfers & GST Compliance (India)

• How do you track inventory movements between fulfilment centres/warehouses within and across states?

• If a marketplace moves inventory without timely notification, how do you obtain the movement details and required GST documents, wherever applicable?

4. Tools & Learning Resources

• What software, spreadsheets or SOPs do you use?

• Any useful YouTube videos, articles, websites or tools you would recommend?

Please answer whichever question—or questions—you find relevant. Even sharing one practical tip, a problem you faced, or a useful link is valuable. No need to write a lengthy response!

Feel free to speak your mind. We'd love to learn what works, what doesn't, and what still needs a better solution.

The goal is to build a useful community reference for ecommerce sellers on accounting reconciliation, identifying financial discrepancies, recovering money owed and managing inventory compliance.
