How we keep this log
Every week we check the official sources for each marketplace: Amazon's Selling Partners and About Amazon news pages, the News_Amazon announcements in the US and UK Seller Forums, and eBay UK's Seller Centre news and fee help pages. A change goes on the log only after we have read it on one of these pages.
Each entry shows the effective date (or the announcement date when no effective date is given), the official page and the date we read it. We do not add figures that the page does not state, and we do not interpret the rules legally.
If you spot an error or a change we have missed, contact us and we will check the official page and correct the entry.
