Overview

At Walmart, we review all Marketplace listings twice a year to make sure customers have a consistent shopping experience on Walmart.com. If we identify a listing that is deemed under-performing, it will be unpublished from Walmart Marketplace. Keep reading to learn more about this policy.

Notes

The information found within this policy and the related hyperlinks is for general informational purposes only and is not considered legal advice. This policy may contain links to third party content, which Walmart does not warrant, endorse, or assume liability for and your reliance on such content is solely at your own discretion. 

What is the policy?

Items must be listed and transactable for a predetermined timeframe, based on the nature and seasonality of each category or they could be deemed as under-performing. Exceptions include strategic items or categories and slow-moving items. Other under-performance indicators include but are not limited to: 

  • No sales for the item during the predetermined timeframe. 
  • No sales of items within the same variant groups during the predetermined timeframe.  

Even though Walmart conducts catalog reviews semi-annually, Walmart reserves the right to unpublish items at any time. If your item is unpublished due to underperformance, it won’t be relisted until there is a substantial improvement to the listing.  

Notes

If the same item is removed multiple times, Walmart reserves the right to permanently remove the item from our catalog.
