  • In addition to content guidelines for the 3rd party website, we also require that the merchants provide correct information to Amazon about the price and availability of their products, and that the product that they list on Amazon is the same product that they link to on their own website
  • Content policing is the process which makes sure that the 3rd party websites are indeed in compliance with the specified set of guidelines, and that their product and offer information is correct
  • Compliance must be enforced at listing time as well as on a continuous basis to ensure that the merchant landing pages continue to comply with the guidelines and are not maliciously changed at a later date
