Change log
Public archive of seller-facing marketplace changes.
Each entry links to the official source and explains the operational consequence, not just the wording change.
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.
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.
