Summary
Policy was reformatted and reorganized for clarity. The core prohibited products list was extracted and presented as a concise, structured guide. No new product categories or restrictions were added; existing rules were restated in updated presentation format.
Why it matters
This is a presentation-only change. Sellers face no new compliance obligations. Existing restrictions on illegal, counterfeit, recalled, and unsafe products remain unchanged. Navigation improved but no new enforcement triggers introduced.
Recommended action
