Summary
Policy article on two-step verification requirement removed from public seller documentation. The underlying mandate (enable 2SV within 30 days or face withdrawal restrictions) remains unchanged; this is a content removal, not a rule change.
Why it matters
Sellers relying on platform documentation for compliance guidance may lose access to official setup instructions. However, the actual requirement and enforcement consequence (30-day deadline, withdrawal hold) remain in effect elsewhere on the platform.
Recommended action
Compare old and new section text, then update internal guidance only if the changed lines introduce a clear new requirement.
