🚨 The Sellers Bill of Rights is Dead 🚨 I'm sorry, but I really had to write this post. I see wayyyyy too many sellers celebrating this proposed legislation, yet they fail to understand that this bill will never become law. So, a few days ago, U.S. Representative Becca Balint and Nydia Velazquez introduced this bill to Congress with the goal of protecting sellers and their rights. It proposes to do the following: - Requires Amazon/Walmart to give sellers advance notice of any policy changes that affect their business. - Requires platforms to show proof of a rule or law violation before suspending or deactivating a seller’s account. - Limits how long platforms can freeze/hold a seller’s inventory or funds (generally no more than 30 days) unless they meet a legal standard of proof that the goods/funds involve counterfeiting or other unlawful activity. -Mandates prompt written notice (within 72 hours) explaining any inventory or fund holds, plus clear appeal options. -Requires platforms to return inventory (or release funds) after 30 days if no proof of illegal conduct is provided. This is all great and stuff, but this bill has less than a 1% chance of passing before midterms. Let me explain why. 1. Republican majorities control both the House and Senate (and the presidency), while the bill has only Democratic sponsors. 2. Extremely limited legislative time left before the November 3, 2026 midterms, with recesses and campaign focus dominating the calendar. 3. No bipartisan support, Republican cosponsors, hearings, or committee markup since its introduction on July 21. 4. 98% of introduced bills (especially minority-party ones) die in committee; overall passage rate is only. If Democrats proposed it, it's going to die. 5. Not a priority issue and faces EXTREME resistance from Amazon and Walmart. Did you know that they spend tens of millions on lobbying? Now you do! For this bill to become law, it would need to FIRST pass out of committee, then be brought before the floor of the House for a vote, then be approved in the Senate, and then have Trump sign it. Basically, if you think this has a chance, you live in fantasy land. I'm sorry if this post gave you depression, but you need to know the truth of how our government works. It's extremely inefficient yet somehow the BEST system in human history. Third-party sellers will NEVER receive federal protection. Bookmark this.

Sellers may finally receive federal due-process protections. TY @RepBeccaB The Online Sellers’ Bill of Rights Act has been introduced in Congress to address arbitrary marketplace suspensions, frozen funds, inaccessible inventory and policy changes imposed without sufficient notice. Marketplaces must act quickly against counterfeiters, unsafe products and fraud. But legitimate @AmazonASGTG sellers should not lose their businesses because of automated accusations, vague notices or investigations that continue indefinitely. Every seller facing serious enforcement should receive: A clear explanation. The evidence supporting the action. A meaningful opportunity to appeal. A reasonable deadline for releasing funds and inventory. Marketplace enforcement is necessary. Punishment without due process is not

@AmazonASGTG @RepBeccaB So this specific piece of legislation will be stalled due to a severe lack of votes. It won’t even get a chance to be heard in the Senate floor. I feel bad for sellers celebrating this one. Keep dreaming!

@AmazonASGTG @RepBeccaB “It aims to protect independent online third-party sellers from arbitrary and opaque actions” Long overdue.

@AmazonASGTG @RepBeccaB This specific piece of legislation has zero chance of making it through Congress. I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
