Check the offers flagged in Seller Center and compare the cost of accepting standard returns before removing an exemption.
THE SOURCED NEWS
Which offers are affected
The Walmart US update applies to existing and newly enrolled seller-fulfilled offers. The program guide says an offer must have no return policy exemption to qualify. Removing one can address that criterion, but sellers still need to satisfy the other eligibility and performance requirements.
The change concerns the Walmart+ badge, not a blanket ban on listing products with a return exemption. Walmart’s notice is dated 5 November and gives 19 October as the effective date. Use the Walmart+ Seller Fulfilled page in Seller Center to check which offers are eligible.
SELLERBUNDLE PRACTICAL ANALYSIS
SellerBundle: review the exceptions one by one
Start with your highest-volume affected offers. For each, note why you requested an exemption and what a standard return would cost, including transport and any loss if the item cannot be resold. For products where the reason for the exemption still applies, keeping it may make more sense than pursuing the badge.
If you decide to change an offer, make the change on a small group first. Confirm the return terms are what you intended and recheck eligibility in Seller Center. Track actual return costs before applying the same change to the rest of your catalogue.
