Amazon to Enforce New Standalone Policy Against Stolen Goods Sales

Amazon will implement a new standalone policy on June 30, 2025, reinforcing its existing ban on selling stolen goods in response to new government regulations. While the policy doesn’t change Amazon’s enforcement approach, it formalizes sellers’ obligations to verify the legitimacy of their supply chains. The announcement sparked renewed debate over the legality of retail and online arbitrage on Amazon, as well as calls for the platform to crack down on fraudulent buyer behavior and listing hijackers.
