Summary
Removal of the prohibited products list means sellers can list previously restricted items. Key violations now lack defined restrictions and consequences.
Why it matters
This change creates uncertainty regarding which products can now be sold, increasing the risk of non-compliance and enforcement actions against sellers due to ambiguous rules.
Recommended action
Sellers must audit their listings to ensure compliance with existing laws and policies, clearly avoiding any prohibited items previously defined.
