Policy update for automotive and marine emissions tuners
As of March 11, 2024, you’re now required to provide a California Air Resources Board Executive Order (CARB EO) number for new and existing listings of automotive and marine emission tuners to ensure that these products are compliant with the Clean Air Act.
The Clean Air Act prohibits the sale of any device that unlawfully interferes with or disables an engine’s emission controls (defeat devices). This new requirement helps to prevent the sale of these defeat device tuners.
If a valid CARB EO number is not provided for an automotive or marine tuner listing, the listing may be removed until a valid CARB EO number is provided.
Request to remove meltable FBA inventory by April 15
To meet product quality standards, meltable inventory won’t be accepted at fulfillment centers between April 15 and October 15, 2024.
Meltable refers to all heat-sensitive products, such as chocolate, gummies, and select jelly- and wax-based products.
Meltable products that are stored or arrive at our fulfillment centers after April 14, 2024, will be disposed of for a fee. For more information, go to FBA removal order fees.
To avoid disposal, you can either submit removal orders or aim to liquidate your meltable inventory before April 15 by running sales.
New coupon pricing requirements
Starting March 12, 2024, coupons will be subject to new pricing requirements as we continue to improve the coupons experience to build customer trust and, in turn, an even better selling experience for you.
Coupons are still required to have a discount percentage between the minimum (5% off) and maximum (50% off). Products will also be required to have a sales history before they are eligible to run, and a promotion price lower than either the “was price” or the recent lowest price.
If a product’s price or discount doesn’t meet these requirements, it won’t be eligible for a coupon until all requirements have been met. If you receive a coupon error message, you can take the following actions:
Price history issue: To make this product eligible, create a sales history by selling more products to build the “was price.” For more information on how the “was price” is calculated, go to Amazon policy on reference prices.
Increase discount: Make sure your promotion price is lower than the “was price” or the recent lowest price to make this product eligible.
Minimum/maximum discount issue: Update your sale price discount percentage to be between the minimum (5% off) and maximum (50% off) to make this product eligible.
