- Topic: Marketplaces
- Published: 2026-11-05
- Effective: 2026-11-11
- Checked: 2026-11-06

This supplements our earlier BFCM deadline update: participation requires a 30-day late-dispatch rate of 20% or less and other eligibility checks, monitored daily; overdue products may be removed. The roundup also requires API sellers to support return QR validity through February 10, 2027, 23:59:59 PT.

## Our read

Check campaign eligibility before planning dispatch. Integration users should verify QR expiry so eligible returns are not blocked.

## Key dates

- 2026-11-05: Published
- 2026-11-06: We checked the official text
- 2026-11-11: Takes effect

- 2027-02-10: Extended return window ends; API return QR validity must cover 23:59:59 PT

Publication is the latest roundup date; November 11 starts the campaign and fulfillment extensions, with holiday returns coverage starting at 16:00 PT.

## Who is affected

- US apparel campaign participants need shop and product eligibility.
- QR integration changes concern API sellers; auction orders get no holiday returns extension.

## What to do

- Monitor eligibility and overdue orders daily; resolve inventory and dispatch delays.
- Have your provider verify holiday returns and QR expiry; normal review deadlines still apply.
