Working guides for marketplace sellers

Short, sourced, and dated. Each one exists because sellers kept hitting the same wall; every platform statement in them is cited to the platform’s own page with the date it was read.

How to download Amazon’s Category Listings Report The one Amazon export that carries your compliance attributes as well as your copy — where it lives, and the two ways sellers silently break the file. The EPR deadlines Amazon enforces, and the ones it says are coming LUCID, WEEE and EU batteries checks that are already live, the German September 12 window, now closed, and who it did not cover, and the four submission traps in Amazon’s own words. Amazon’s Prop 65 warning is built from your attribute, and shown only to California Why sellers cannot see their own warning: it renders from the attribute pair, only for a California delivery address — measured on real product pages, with the one route Amazon permits and the January 1, 2028 short-form boundary. How to download Walmart’s Item Report, and what its Searchable column tells you Where the Item Report lives in Seller Center, why it is the one of Walmart’s four seller reports to pull, and what its Searchable column measures. The compliance attributes live in the Item Spec, whose version split changes the column names; no publicly documented Walmart export carries a watt-hour column. What “Made in USA” may say on a listing, and what your Country of Origin attribute has to agree with The FTC’s all-or-virtually-all standard, the qualified shapes that pass (or Imported, assembled from imported parts, joint origin), why the qualifier has to sit in the same statement, and why a disagreement between your copy and your Country of Origin attribute is the finding. Which health words turn a supplement listing into a drug claim, and which are lawful The structure/function line as 21 CFR 101.93 draws it, the sentences FDA warning letters quoted back at sellers, the required warnings that carry a disease word without being a claim, and why a Drug Facts panel or a monograph ingredient is not proof of lawfulness. eBay says it hides listings missing GPSR details from EU and Northern Ireland buyers, and restores them on fix What eBay says happens in its own words (hidden from EU and Northern Ireland buyers, or on hold under eBay’s UK announcement, restored on fix), the Responsible Person, manufacturer and product safety fields it asks for, who the Responsible Person can and cannot be, and why your active listings export cannot show any of it. The words that make a listing a pesticide, and which regulator owns the product Kills, repels, antimicrobial, disinfects and 99.9% are what make a listing pesticidal. The three regulators sellers confuse, why a bug zapper has no registration number to obtain, the exemptions with no number to add, and the two EU treated-article elements a German listing mirrors.
