As Amazon’s marketplace grows, sellers face new compliance challenges
Amazon’s automated enforcement flags 99% of suspected violations but causes compliance and suspension challenges for sellers in regulated categories, affecting 46% of U.S. sellers internationally.
- Amazon expanded its AI enforcement by investing more than $1 billion and using automated enforcement tools to identify listings needing review and require seller documentation.
- Third-Party seller growth has made third-party sellers responsible for 62% of units sold and over $150 billion in annual revenue, prompting regulatory scrutiny after the Consumer Product Safety Commission found hazards and the Food and Drug Administration warned on supplements.
- Amazon's automated systems classify listings by keyword matches like `anti-microbial` and link related accounts, while TIC verification requirements raise documentation demands for dietary supplement sellers.
- When listings are flagged, sellers that rely on Amazon as a primary sales channel face suspended accounts or listings, with removals and withheld funds causing immediate revenue loss and financial strain.
- Cross-Border selling increases compliance burdens as sellers should audit listings, maintain certificates of analysis and third-party testing reports, and prepare for unique rules across international Amazon marketplaces.
