🔴 Key Focus

Amazon: Large number of Listings lost strike-through prices abnormally, sellers reported significant order drops

The abnormal disappearance of strike-through prices directly weakens price attractiveness and comparison advantage; multiple sellers have reported obvious order declines. This is an operational anomaly, not a policy adjustment. Sellers should immediately check the pricing display of core ASINs one by one, take screenshots for evidence, and give batch feedback through Seller Support, while monitoring platform announcements and preparing temporary pricing strategies to buffer conversion losses.

TikTok Shop fully-managed model covers 16 countries for the first time; Black Friday promotion season is about to start

The expansion of the fully-managed model to 16 countries opens a window for low-barrier entry into new markets. Black Friday is the largest traffic node of the year; missing it means missing Q4 core growth. Sellers should immediately verify product lines, inventory depth, and pricing margins, prioritize best-selling SKUs for fully-managed registration, and confirm the warehousing cut-off time to avoid being out of stock during the promotion.

Temu's private-label brand emerges and competes head-on with third-party sellers

Temu's launch of its own private-label brand means platform traffic and resources will be prioritized in favor of its own products; third-party sellers of low-price standard products face the greatest pressure. It is recommended to immediately sort out the overlap between your categories and the private-label brand, reduce investment in undifferentiated standard products, and shift toward differentiated design, bundled sales, or niche scenarios not covered by Temu to reduce direct confrontation.

TEMU enforces UK and EU Responsible Person requirements for all products

UK/EU Responsible Person is a red line for EU market access; violations will lead to immediate delisting or sales restrictions. Sellers should immediately check compliance documents for already-listed products, confirm that the authorized representative is reflected in documents and labels, and verify the validity of the information with the agency. For new products, the UK/EU Responsible Person should be included as a precondition in the listing process.

⏰ Now in mandatory enforcement phase

Shopee Philippines: Butane products with wrong category will be banned; must use non-integrated logistics

From November 3, wrong category will lead to direct ban, and non-integrated logistics is mandatory. Affected categories need to adjust both category settings and logistics solutions at the same time; the risk of errors is high under dual requirements. It is recommended to immediately verify the category attribution of butane products on sale, switch to compliant logistics channels in advance, and set inventory buffers to prevent delivery delays during the transition.

⏰ Effective 2026-11-03

TikTok Shop connects two-way cross-border sales between the EU and the UK

EU-UK interconnection means expanded coverage and traffic pool, but also adds requirements for compliance, logistics, and tax. Sellers should assess product compliance differences between the UK and EU, prepare VAT registration, product labeling, and warehousing plans in advance, monitor September pilot feedback, and strive for first-mover advantage when it fully launches in October.

⏰ Pilot in September, full launch in October

Amazon replaces single compliance declaration with bulk TRF tool

The bulk TRF tool can significantly reduce compliance testing declaration time for multiple ASINs, which is an efficiency upgrade for sellers in categories requiring testing. Relevant sellers are advised to familiarize themselves with the tool's operation process and field requirements as soon as possible, include high-frequency testing categories in bulk declarations, and avoid listing suppression caused by backlog of individual declarations.

TikTok Shop US updates packaging rules: prohibits "review solicitation" cards

Including review solicitation cards in packages is a clear violation; the platform will trigger penalties through packaging compliance checks or user reports. Sellers should immediately inventory existing packaging materials, remove any cards that guide reviews, switch to compliant on-platform methods to accumulate reviews, and notify warehouse and packing teams to implement the change.

Amazon recent new rules at a glance: 10 changes, European + US sellers check quickly

The 10 new rules cover fees, compliance, logistics, and other dimensions; missing any one may cause direct losses or account risks. It is recommended to check the applicable items for your store one by one in checklist form, classify them into "execute immediately" and "observe changes", and prioritize items involving fees and compliance at the top.

💡 Today's Insight

Today's information presents two main threads: Q4 peak season preparation and compliance tightening proceed in parallel. Peak season opportunities are concentrated in TikTok Shop's Black Friday promotion and fully-managed expansion; but compliance risks have escalated from single-platform rules to cross-market entry barriers (UK/EU Responsible Person, CBP review, JCT tax reform). Any oversight may interrupt the sales rhythm just before the promotion. Operationally, two steps are recommended: complete a self-check and inventory of compliance documents for all products on sale within this week, especially for EU and Philippines sites; at the same time, freeze inventory and logistics plans for SKUs registered for the promotion, ensure both compliance and supply are locked in, and then fully commit to Black Friday volume.
