Marketplace sales total $300. The dashboard looks promising, but funds are held through a review period. You have $80 available for new stock today.
Training goal: Separate a sale from an accessible payout
▶ Play this trainingSituation
1. A supplier needs $150 today. The marketplace has not released the sales proceeds.
- Treat all sales as personal income
- Recognize the $70 gap before payout
- Promise $150 from today’s displayed sales
2. This deal charges a 10% fee on $300 and $20 seller-paid shipping. There are no returns yet.
- Expect $250 before stock costs
- Expect $280 after every cost
- Call $300 the net payout
3. A $50 order is returned. Under the terms, its 10% fee is reversed but the $20 shipping is not refunded.
- Subtract $50 from $250 to get $200
- Leave the forecast unchanged until withdrawal
- Recalculate the payout as $205
4. The supplier can postpone the stock order. The platform shows an estimated, not guaranteed, payout date.
- Hide the delay from the supplier
- Arrange purchase after funds become available
- Spend the entire forecast personally

It depends on the agreement. The practice scene states its rule explicitly.
Is a payout profit?
No. Account for stock costs and other business expenses.
