Summary
Reformatted product categorization guidance to emphasize four benefits: visibility, discovery, trust, and policy compliance. No new requirements or enforcement changes introduced.
Why it matters
Presentation-only change clarifies existing category accuracy expectations through refined messaging. Sellers already required to use correct categories; this merely restates existing obligations in more accessible language.
Recommended action
Review updated messaging to align internal category training and seller communication. No policy behavior change required—existing category accuracy obligations remain unchanged.

Make discovery easier: Shoppers can quickly locate your item in the correct subcategory.
Build trust: Accurate categories make your shop look reliable and professional.
Avoid problems: Correct placement helps you follow policies and prevents violation tickets.
