Summary
Added clarification section "Actions to Avoid" restating three existing listing categorization prohibitions: testing multiple categories, miscategorizing for exposure, ignoring customer feedback on discoverability.
Why it matters
This is a presentation restructure of pre-existing compliance expectations. No new enforcement consequences or behavioral requirements were introduced. Sellers already knew these practices were violations; the change only reorganizes guidance into a dedicated subsection.
Recommended action
Review the new "Actions to Avoid" section to confirm your current categorization practices comply. No immediate operational changes required unless you are currently testing multiple categories or ignoring customer feedback patterns.
Don’t test multiple categories for the same product to see which does better. It confuses customers and violates policies.
Don’t miscategorize your product to get more exposure.
Don’t ignore customer feedback. If customers have trouble finding your product, check your category again.
