Summary
Removed brief definition section introducing "Anchor product," "Variations (SKUs)," and "Variation style" terminology. These terms are now defined inline within the comprehensive "Product Variations" section of the revised policy.
Why it matters
The change is a restructuring only — no new rules or restrictions introduced. Sellers must still comply with product variation requirements, but guidance is consolidated. No behavioral change required; existing variation policies remain enforceable.
Recommended action
Review the new consolidated "Product Variations" section in the revised policy to confirm your current variation setup (anchor, SKUs, attributes) still meets requirements. No immediate action needed unless your current listings violate the restated rules.
No new content was added in this update.
Anchor product: The product that ties the variations together to a single product detail page
Variations (SKUs): The products that are tied together by the anchor. These are the actual items that customers select and purchase. Each variation has its own SKU
Variation style: The attribute that makes the products variable (for example, size, color, shape, scent, or flavor)
Affects: Seller, Listing
