Note that merchants may edit their prohibited listings to comply with Wish’s policies and have the products re-listed.
Merchants can filter for all prohibited listings infractions by selecting “Inappropriate content detected for product listing” in the “Filter by Reason” dropdown menu on Action Required, Pending Admin, and History pages under the Infractions menu of the Merchant Dashboard:
For each such infraction on the Infractions > Action Required page, merchants may submit an “Edit Product Request” to edit their prohibited listings that are removed by Wish, and have them re-listed if the requests are approved by Wish. Merchants’ now-compliant products are once again available to customers across the globe.
To help merchants further expand their product offering by having more prohibited items corrected and re-listed through the “Edit Product Request” process, merchants can also receive the following limited-time benefit:
For all “Edit Product Requests” for product listings containing inappropriate content (excluding misleading listings) previously- and newly-submitted by April 1, 2020 12:00AM UTC, corresponding infractions’ penalty amount up to $10 will be reversed for each request approved on or after March 9, 2020 12:00AM UTC.
For misleading listings’ “Edit Product Request”, please visit this FAQ instead.
To submit an “Edit Product Request” now, first identify all prohibited listing infractions (i.e. “Inappropriate content detected for product listing” as the infraction reason, as mentioned above) under the Infractions > Action Required page on your Merchant Dashboard.
Then in each prohibited listing infraction message, click “Re-edit the listing”:
In the “Edit Product Request” popup modal that follows, make appropriate edits to your misleading products, and click “Submit Edit Request”:
Wish will notify you of the request outcome (approved or rejected) within 5-7 business days.
As soon as a request is approved, the prohibited listing in question will be re-listed on Wish as a compliant product available for sale again, and for a limited time (as outlined above), the penalty amount (up to $10) will be reversed.
