Listing Requirements

  • British English spelling is preferred in titles and descriptions (colour, not color; metre, not meter)
  • Weight and dimensions should be listed in metric units (kg, cm) as standard, though both can be included
  • UKCA marking (replacing CE post-Brexit) is required for applicable product categories (electrical, toys, PPE)
  • VAT number must be registered and added to Seller Central for UK selling
  • Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) registration required for packaging waste from 2023
  • Product listings must comply with UK Consumer Contracts Regulations, including accurate return rights statements

Common Errors on This Marketplace

  • US imperial measurements listed without metric equivalents
  • CE marking listed without UKCA marking for products requiring compliance
  • VAT not configured correctly, causing checkout price display issues
  • Listings blocked due to missing UK Responsible Person information for product safety
  • Images and descriptions copied from US listing without adapting terminology

Shipping & FBA Notes

UK FBA uses fulfillment centers across England, Scotland, and Wales. Post-Brexit, EU stock cannot be used to fulfill UK orders without re-importing through UK customs.
