Is my accounting method correct?

[Avneesh Yadav]

Hi,
I am an Amazon seller. Amazon transfers the weekly amount of our sales after deducting their all fees. Amazon issues invoices for the services they provide, at the end of month. So, Amazon acts like a bank for me. So, I made following accounts.

So, I made three accounts Amazon customer, Amazon clearing account, Amazon vendor.

When I make sales, I tansfer the sales amount to our amazon account:

Entry: Amazon clearing account: Credit

When Amazon tranfers money to my real bank account after deducting their fees on weekly basis

Entry: Amazon clearing account: Debit
Real bank account: Credit

When Amazon issue invoices for their services like shipping, etc. at end of month

Entry: Amazon clearing account: Debit
Expenses: Credit

So, is this methodology correct?

And, since Amazon raises the proper GST compliant invoices for my customers with my company name and I have saved them all.
So, in my accounting can I make my all invoices in the name 'Amazon customer' without saving any addresses? Though I have saved the states name in which the sale is made.

Also, If there is a case of return and refund, Can I skip that entry permanently? As amazon charges and makes an invoice called 'refund charges' in my name. So, there is no need to debit and credit notes on a product level basis.

If I have messed up somewhere feel free to ask. It will be a great help if you can verify this method and help me.

Regards,
Avneesh
