Effective September 2, 2025, Amazon will begin enforcing stricter policies around variation themes. Listings using irrelevant or inaccurate variation themes (such as unrelated sizes, colors, or styles) will be subject to automatic removal or restructuring.
🚨 What’s Changing?
Amazon is cleaning up product listings by removing variations that do not clearly and accurately reflect real product differences. This change is aimed at:
- Improving the customer shopping experience
- Ensuring accurate product representation
- Enhancing listing quality and search relevance
✅ What You Need to Do
To stay compliant and maintain your product visibility:
- Review all your current listings.
Check if your products are grouped using appropriate variation themes (e.g., color, size, style). - Remove or adjust any irrelevant variations.
Make sure all variations represent actual differences in the product. - Follow Amazon’s latest variation theme guidelines.
