Update to OTDR listing deactivation process as of February 28, 2026

Note: On February 11, 2026, we published an article about updates to how we apply the on-time delivery rate requirement. What’s new is which specific listings may be deactivated for noncompliance and guidance on how they can be reinstated. You can review the full updated announcement below.

 

Effective February 28, 2026, we’ll update how we apply the existing 90% on-time delivery rate (OTDR) requirement for seller-fulfilled listings.

Previously, if your OTDR fell below 90%, all of your seller-fulfilled listings would be deactivated. With this change, only the listings that have the most impact on your ratings drop will be deactivated. Your other listings will remain active. Enforcement notification of this will continue to be sent to you by email.

  2. In Product Policy Compliance, find listings labeled as Order Performance – On time Delivery Rate under the Reasons column.
  3. Select Submit Appeal to automatically reactivate your listings.
