A 10762
New York bill requiring online marketplaces to provide due process protections before suspending or removing third-party sellers from their platforms.
Bill A 10762 establishes procedural protections for third-party sellers and seller profiles operating on online marketplaces in New York. The bill appears designed to create due process requirements and safeguards before marketplaces can suspend, delist, or penalize independent sellers. These protections would apply to platforms like Amazon, eBay, and similar e-commerce sites where individuals and small businesses sell goods.
Third-party sellers generate billions in annual commerce but operate under marketplace terms of service that can be changed unilaterally, resulting in account terminations with minimal notice or explanation. Without statutory protections, sellers can lose their livelihoods instantly if algorithms flag suspicious activity or if platform policies shift. This bill addresses a real power imbalance between large tech platforms and smaller merchants who depend on these channels for revenue.
