Online sellers would get clear rules for inventory, funds, and account issues on big platforms.
This bill would give online sellers more power when dealing with large online marketplaces. It sets new rules for how platforms handle seller inventory, funds, and account problems, aiming to make things fairer for small businesses. These changes would take effect 180 days after the bill becomes law.
Today, small online businesses often face account suspensions, inventory holds, and withheld funds without clear reasons or ways to appeal. If this bill passes, online marketplaces would have to follow strict rules for these actions, including giving timely notices and proving wrongdoing within 30 days. Sellers would also have more ways to fight back, including suing platforms directly.
