- Added EPA registration documentation requirements for pesticide listings, affecting both new and existing listings — sellers must submit EPA registration numbers, establishment numbers, and approved labels or risk losing listing eligibility.
- Tightened affiliate product quality thresholds (effective May 7): VoC Index below 1.5 required to qualify, above 3 results in disqualification from affiliate programs, replacing previous eligibility criteria.
- Updated OTDR calculation methodology for CBT and Upgraded TikTok Shipping (effective June 2026): these options lose full OTDR exemption but are protected from carrier-delay penalties as long as dispatch SLA is met.
- Added enhanced Persona-powered facial scan identity verification for new seller onboarding, FCC authorization requirements for router listings, unified returns/refunds workflow removing the Speedy Refund appeals queue, and strengthened enforcement against inaccurate tracking/phantom warehouse activity.
