We’re excited to introduce the Listing Quality Dashboard’s newest feature, the Bulk Attribute Editor. The editor gives sellers the ability to quickly update an item’s content for up to 30,000 items at a time–so you can improve your Listing Quality score, increase visibility, and drive growth even faster.Â
Other key benefits include:
Later this month, we’re introducing a refreshed set of criteria that will make the Pro Seller Badge experience even more rewarding for both sellers and customers. The criteria will be updated in the Listing Quality Dashboard starting August 9, but we’ll start measuring against it in October.
During the next badge cycle that will occur on October 5, the new criteria will be applicable and sellers who became eligible for the badge during this grace period, will receive the badge at this time. Please note that current Pro Sellers can retain their badges during this grace period.*
In the meantime, all sellers are encouraged to improve their performance metrics and Listing Quality Scores to retain or gain the badge in October—just in time for the busy holiday sales season.
*Walmart reserves the right to remove any badges from existing sellers if they violate any policies during this timeframe.
