UPC Enforcement Purpose
New UPC enforcement requirements will be in effect for selected top subcategories. This measure aims to increase the accuracy of product listings and ensure customers find the exact products they desire. The policy goal is to minimize miscategorized listings, ensure product listing precision, and reduce RMAs while driving customer traffic to your listings through proper UPC enforcement.
