13.11 Good to know — marketplace

One record, two hats. A seller's payables balance can hold ordinary purchases and marketplace payouts side by side — deliberately. The statement separates them by document; the balance is one because the debt is one.
Posted is owed; paid is settled. Posting an order creates the obligation (that obligation, exactly, is the cockpit's Seller payout tile). Nothing is owed less because a payout is still being prepared — and nothing is paid until a Payment posts in Procurement.
Listings promise nothing about stock. An active listing with empty shelves behind it is a commercial embarrassment, not a system error: the module records offers and sales, and availability stays the seller's to manage.
Commission is fixed at the order's moment. The rule resolves when the seller is chosen, and the amounts stand on the order. Renegotiating a tier changes tomorrow's orders, never yesterday's.
Suspending a seller is a decision on record. It changes their standing in the pipeline; it does not touch their history, their listings' past, or — least of all — what they are already owed.
