Updates: Amazon
According to a notice on USA Seller Central, effective 15 August 2024, Amazon is updating bullet point requirements to simplify and improve product detail pages for customers.
Key changes include the following:
Restriction of special characters, emojis and some phrases, such as warranties related to refunds.
Instructions for creating high-quality bullet points that are clear and concise.
In addition to the existing review processes, Amazon wants to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) to optimize the quality of listings. For example, non-compliant content will be removed and AI will be used to generate compliant, high-quality bullet points. All quality improvements generated by AI are to be submitted to sellers for review before Amazon publishes them.
