Why does my 1099-K from Amazon have a larger amount than the custom unified summary?

My 1099-K shows $157,818, while my custom unified summary shows a smaller amount of income of $140,865.29

This is before fees, expenses, and transfers

Your help would be appreciated,

I mean, why even bother to have this option for sellers? I upload pictures of used items, deduct a restocking fee and all a customer has to do is call Amazon and say he returned it brand new and Amazon 100% of the time refunds the customer and takes the money from my account.

I have a listing that seemed to be doing pretty well last month. I thought it would be a good idea to add variations (other versions of this product) to this listing. Does turning a successful listing into a parent / variation of a parent affect the ranking of the original listing?

If it does, would it be advised to split this parent up again so that the children are all seperate listings? Would doing this process affect their ranking?

So I am quite new to Amazon reselling and trying to add my Amazon sales into my existing reporting to work out monthly revenue etc.

I have been using the Transaction Tab on the Payment Reporting section of the website and tallying the Total Product charges for the month to work out my revenue.

However when i compare this to the Business Reports -> Sales Dashboard this does not align. The Payment reporting is showing a higher figure for each month and the Year to date than the Sales Dashboard. And when I look at individual days nothing aligns.

Can anybody assist with an explanation on why these would be different? And what is the best report to use to define monthly Amazon revenue and fees paid?

Many Thanks in advance!

I believe Amazon sent the wrong colour variant of an item which resulted in a bad rating.

Are Amazon inventory level reports always correct? And is there a way that I can get them to manually check the inventory level on an ASIN which would prove that the wrong item was sent?
