Amazon TOS Compliance Checklist
- • No marketing links or external URLs in replies
- • No requesting reviews outside the official "Request a Review" button flow
- • No off-Amazon contact (phone, email, WhatsApp redirects)
- • Reply only to buyer-initiated threads — no unsolicited messages
- • Disclose AI when buyer asks (best practice, not strict requirement)
- • Don't auto-promise outcomes the chatbot can't guarantee
A-to-z Claim Prevention
The single biggest A-to-z trigger is a slow or no response to a buyer message. An AI chatbot that replies within 4 hours on every legitimate message reduces A-to-z claim rate by ~38% in our seller cohort. Even acknowledging while routing to human counts toward your response time metric.
