Summary
Policy now explicitly defines "connected accounts" as sharing contact info, payment details, ownership, devices/systems, or business resources. Violation triggers enforcement action against all connected accounts simultaneously.
Why it matters
Sellers managing multiple shops risk coordinated suspension across all accounts if one violates policy. New expanded definition of connection (devices, suppliers, inventory) captures account relationships not previously explicit, increasing exposure.
Recommended action
Audit all shop accounts for shared contact, payment, device, and operational resources. Document separation or consolidate deliberately. Review connected-account policy before onboarding additional shops.
Contact information, including phone numbers, email addresses, or addresses
Payment information or bank accounts
Ownership, operators, managers, or other persons with access to or control over the accounts
Devices, systems, tools, or other resources used to register, access, manage, or operate the accounts
Business operations, inventory, fulfillment, suppliers, products, or other commercial resources
