Developer Impact: Requiring Specified Shipping

This requirement was first announced in March 2008. An existing API node is now required, so you probably already support this feature.

We suggest you review how many of your sellers are compliant and educate those who are not yet compliant. You'll find that most of your sellers are probably already compliant.

Note that freight and local pickup are still acceptable shipping options.

Enforcement for the US site is Aug 25th. Listings without at least one specified shipping option will fail.
