Amazon.com has reopened its Toys & Games category to all third-party sellers. The marketplace first launched its Toy store in July 2006 after Toys"R"Us exited the platform, and Amazon invited third-party sellers to list items. But 3 months later, it restricted third-party sales in its Toys and Games category to pre-approved sellers through the end of 2006. Amazon said at the time it was making the policy change because it "wants all third-party orders to be fulfilled in a timely manner so they're delivered by December 23." Some sellers were upset at the short notice they were given (http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abn/y06/m10/i31/s01) Amazon announced on Monday that all sellers could list any product in the Toys and Games store. "If you had any listings that were removed due to our pre-approval process you will need to upload them again." http://www.amazonsellercommunity.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=129446&tstart=0 |
