Balances
I’m confused to why I keep having a negative balance when I’m clearly making over 200$ a day in sales. And every time my pay period comes I get nothing. Amazon scamming atp. Has anyone else been having this issue?

In "Transaction view" you can see the ins and outs. Maybe you do a lot of ads? High storage fees?

"Has anyone else been having this issue? "
YES -- dozens/hundreds/thousands of sellers have money held in 'reserve' until Amazon can trust sellers to ship good products. Those reserves can stay in place for a long time with only small releases as orders clear.
Now, about what @Seller_rI7BZIczK8iAC has asked/told you --
Did you do any advertising? That is a yes or no answer. Ads are expensive so it could explain everything if you set up ads.
Are you selling FBM or do you have inventory at Amazon warehouses for FBA? Again, that is a simple FBM or FBA answer. FBA is EXPENSIVE so it could explain everything as well.
Finally, you might have a pricing problem.
One of the first rules of business is to know ALL your costs BEFORE you establish a selling price.
Amazon profit margins suck due to competition from people that are willing to 'race to the bottom' as well as competing with Amazon. There are estimates that 1/3 of sellers on here are actually LOSING money but have no clue as to why or how. They never figure out the true costs of doing business here.
I price my items so that I make a profit if/when they sell on here. If they don't sell here they will on one of the other sites I sell on that have LOWER FEES.
Jumping in and not knowing the costs is a self-inflicted wound no matter what site you choose to sell on.
