Product Price Restriction Policy FAQ

Per Merchant Policy 2.11, product price increases for products within a 4-month period will be restricted to $1 or up to 25% (whichever is greater) during product edits.

In addition, both the product price and shipping price increases for products within a 4-month period will be restricted to $1 or up to 25% (whichever is greater) during product edits. The price increase restrictions for product price and shipping price will be enforced independently. The 4-month price restriction period begins when the first price increase is made (for example, on October 1). After this 4-month restriction period ends (continuing the example, this would be February 1), the next 4-month restriction period will begin when the next price increase is made. Please note that price increases for promoted products are not allowed.

This policy aims to protect customers, the marketplace, and maintain fairness for merchants on Wish. Merchant stores detected to have abnormal and/or unacceptable prices within listings may be subject to additional penalties and/or possible suspension.

Examples:

1. On September 1, the product price of non-promoted product A is $10. Between September 1 and January 1, the merchant increases the product price of non-promoted product A to $12.5 once on October 1. This is an acceptable price increase and is not in violation of the Product Price Restriction Policy.
2. On September 1, the product price of non-promoted product B is $10. Between September 1 and January 1, the merchant increases the product price of non-promoted product B to $10.50 on October 1, and then $11 on November 1, and then $12 on November 15. These are acceptable price increases and is not in violation of the Product Price Restriction Policy.
3. On September 1, the product price of non-promoted product C is $10. Between September 1 and January 1, the merchant attempts to increase the product price of non-promoted product C to $20. This is not an acceptable price increase, and the merchant will receive an error. This is a violation of the Product Price Restriction Policy.
4. On September 1, the product price of non-promoted product D is $10 and the shipping price is $1. Between September 1 and January 1, the merchant increases the product price of non-promoted product D to $12.5 once on October 1. On December 1, the merchant increases the shipping price of non-promoted product D to $1.50, and then $2 on March 1. These are acceptable price increases and are not in violation of the Product Price Restriction Policy.
