Summary
Policy now clarifies that unbinding and re-binding resets the early-stage control period and 30-day binding timer, and switching creator types may trigger re-entry into Pilot Program with content limits.
Why it matters
Sellers and creators must understand that rebinding doesn't preserve status—compliance clocks restart, potentially extending content restrictions. High-volume binding strategies may be disrupted if creator type switching resets earned exemptions.
Recommended action
Review unbinding and re-binding workflows. If relying on previous binding timelines or creator type switches for exemption, plan for reset enforcement and re-entry into content limits. Document status before unbinding.
If an account unbinds and re-binds, the early-stage control period may be re-evaluated or reset based on the account’s status.
Switching creator types may result in re-entry into the Pilot Program or a reset of status
