eBay's US tariffs and customs guidance remains a cross-border seller checklist item
eBay's tariff and customs page keeps updating. For sellers shipping into the US, it now affects listing clarity, landed cost expectations, delivery experience, and customer-support scripts — not just taxes.

Etsy updated Purchase Protection case timing and coverage rules for sellers
Etsy refreshed the seller-facing Purchase Protection rules: a 30-day case window from estimated delivery, up to $250 of Etsy coverage for higher-value orders, and a sharper definition of late delivery.

Amazon confirmed Prime Day 2026 for June, compressing seller readiness timelines
Prime Day moves to June 2026. The operational problem is not the date itself, but a compressed late-May window where inventory, deal setup, and pricing all land at once.

eBay's Issue Resolution Center changes where sellers should check compliance issues
eBay launched the Issue Resolution Center to consolidate listing-level and account-level compliance tasks. The old Resolution Center is being retired, which changes the daily seller routine.

Amazon tightened List Price and Typical Price validation before Prime Day
Reference pricing rules changed in two stages. List Price needs real support from April 23; Typical Price math changes May 18 for products that spend most of the 90-day window below the non-promotional median.

Fees
Amazon added a 3.5% fuel and logistics surcharge to FBA fulfillment fees
A live margin update, not just a fee notice. FBA and Remote Fulfillment took the 3.5% surcharge on April 17, with MCF and Buy with Prime following on May 2.

Prohibited items
Etsy clarified the line between allowed production partners and prohibited drop shipping
Etsy published clearer guidance separating allowed production-partner use from prohibited drop shipping and reselling. This matters because many listings fail not on intent, but on how operators interpret the boundary.

Fees
Etsy removed handling and package fees from calculated shipping
Etsy removed the option to charge handling and package fees for sellers using calculated shipping. This is a pricing-workflow change with direct margin impact, not a cosmetic help-center edit.

Amazon cut the SAFE-T filing window from 60 days to 30 days
A classic operator-risk update: the filing clock for US seller-fulfilled SAFE-T claims was reduced by half, which means stale backlogs and delayed reviews now have a much higher cost.

Amazon extended the FBM refund processing window to four calendar days
Amazon gave seller-fulfilled merchants more time to assess returns, but attached a sharper trade-off: if Amazon auto-refunds the order, SAFE-T eligibility narrows fast.
