Selling Policies and Seller Code of Conduct

All sellers are expected to adhere to the following policies when listing products on Amazon. Seller offences and prohibited content can result in suspension of your Amazon account.

Misuse of the Amazon selling website

As a community, all sellers are able to access and use the Amazon selling website. If a seller uploads excessive amounts of data repeatedly or otherwise uses the website in an excessive or unreasonable way, it can create a disproportional load on the website and impair the ability of other sellers to easily access and use the website.
