Walmart Welcomes More 3rd Party Sellers To The Marketplace
Walmart is easing its once strict approval process, paving the way for more 3rd party sellers to join the marketplace.
Previously, sellers had to jump through many hoops, requesting permission to sell on the site, waiting to see if they passed the approval process, then signing contracts and going through the onboarding and integration process.
Now, Walmart has updated the site with a much more welcoming tone and streamlined sign up process.
Sellers are simply invited to join, rather than apply, and are no longer asked about revenue, catalog size or what other marketplaces they use. Instead, they can now go live after verifying their business information, payment details, and shipping info.
According to Marketplace Pulse, sellers are flocking to join Walmart marketplace with nearly a thousand new sellers a day signing up since the approval process changed earlier this week.

According to Marketplace Pulse research, nearly a thousand new sellers joined the Walmart marketplace each day of this week. Roughly four times more than before and almost as much as the Amazon marketplace in the U.S.

eBay has responded to my BBB complaint twice. The first time they told me that I deserved below standard because my shipping scans were below the threshold. However, I had to quote their own website to them saying that shipping numbers cannot lead to downgrade to Below Standard.
The second response they just said I would be restored on May 20th completely ignoring the issue at hand, admitting an issue existed, or offering any type of solution.
If this concerns you, this happened to you, or worried it may happen, please take action. In fact, take action anytime eBay is doing somethning wrong. They will change nothing if you don't say anything. If enough people speak up, they do make changes.
