Starting July 28, 2025, you must complete battery safety compliance questions when you create or edit any Fulfilled by Merchant products listings that contain batteries or battery-powered items. This change helps ensure both customer safety and accurate product information.
When you create a listing, you’ll now see the following question:
If you answer yes, you’ll then see the following questions:
You can find battery cell composition information on the battery, manufacturer's label or product packaging. If your battery type isn't listed in List Your Products within Add Products, select other than listed and enter the composition manually.
For more information, go to Dangerous goods required information and documentation (hazmat).
Based on your feedback, we’ve added a bulk template to make it easier for you to add and manage price discounts on multiple products.
With this template, you can upload discounts and quantity limits for up to 500 SKUs at a time, which is useful when you create a price discount with several products or variations.
You can also use this template to upload changes to your existing price discounts, including those with errors or warnings. When you edit a price discount, download the list of your discounted SKUs to the template and re-upload any changes.
To learn more, go to Price discount template.
To create a new price discount, go to the Price Discounts dashboard.
Your Account Health Rating (AHR) helps you monitor your account health based on your adherence to our selling policies. The color-coded score, ranging from 0 to 1,000 lets you know if your selling account in a particular store is at risk of deactivation.
In this article, we address some common misconceptions about the AHR:
1. I need an AHR of 1,000 to ensure that my account is safe from deactivation.
No. While the AHR ranges from 1-1000, any AHR above 200 is considered healthy.
There are four severity levels for policy violations: critical, high, medium and low. You can maintain a healthy account if you have non-critical policy violations, provided you address them quickly.
However, regardless of your AHR score, we may deactivate your account immediately if we suspect fraudulent, deceptive, illegal or otherwise harmful activity.
2. If I delete a listing that has a policy violation, my AHR will improve.
No. Your AHR will only improve if you successfully address the policy violations on your Account Health page, including any violations on deleted listings. Even if you delete a listing, you’ll still be able to address the violation via Policy Compliance.
3. If my order numbers drop, my AHR can fall below 200.
No. If your fulfilled order count over the last 180 days decreases, your AHR may decrease, but it won’t decrease below 200 unless you have policy violations. Maintaining policy compliance and quickly addressing any violations are the most important factors in keeping your account healthy.
For more information on how the AHR works, go to Account Health Rating program policy.
Starting July 24, we’ll only accept product compliance test results from compliant labs that meet our safety standards. This change will ensure that all test results are accurate and help keep customers safe.
We’ve compiled a list of labs that don’t meet our safety standards. We recommend that you check the list before you request test results or submit product documentation.
The list of unapproved labs will be updated periodically based on our findings. If you submit a compliance document issued by a laboratory on this list, it will be rejected during our document review process.
For more information, go to Suspended validation labs.
For a list of approved labs, go to the Service Provider Network.

Changes to referral fees and categories
Subject to the above, all other referral fees will remain unchanged. Effective August 1, 2025, we will also rename certain categories for greater clarity. For more information on these name changes, go to Fee category guidelines for your products.
Referral fee category management
We regularly audit our store to ensure accurate product classification and referral fees. We may rename or redefine categories for clarity, which may change your listing fee category. While products can appear in multiple browse nodes in our store, each product type can only belong to one fee category. We will notify you if the fee category for any of your listings changes.
