Ya’Mar Seller-Fulfilled Inventory & Sourcing Policy (Dropshipping)
Effective Date: May 20, 2026
This Seller Fulfilled Inventory & Sourcing Policy (“Policy”) is incorporated by reference into the Ya’Mar Terms of Service and applies to all sellers using the Ya’Mar marketplace application, website, and related services (collectively, the “Platform”).
Ya’Mar LLC (“Ya’Mar,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) may update this Policy periodically. Continued use of the Platform after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised Policy where permitted by law.
This Policy supplements the Ya’Mar Terms of Service, Ya’Mar Shield Protection Policy, Returns & Refund Policy, Seller Standards Policy, Shipping Policy, International Shipping Policy, Prohibited Items Policy, Copyright & Intellectual Property Policies, Seller Verification & Transparency Policy, applicable Help Center guidelines, and other incorporated Platform Policies.
This Policy governs seller fulfilled inventory, third-party sourcing, shipping compliance, fulfillment transparency, fraud prevention requirements, inventory accountability, marketplace quality standards, seller operational responsibilities, and sourcing-related enforcement.
Ya’Mar requires all physical inventory sold through the Platform to be fulfilled and shipped directly by the seller, even where suppliers, wholesalers, distributors, sourcing partners, manufacturers, inventory providers, or third-party sourcing channels are involved.
1. Purpose and Marketplace Integrity
Ya’Mar is committed to maintaining a safe, transparent, secure, and reliable marketplace experience for buyers and sellers.
Ya’Mar Shield protections, fraud prevention systems, dispute resolution systems, shipping systems, tracking systems, and seller protections rely upon accurate listings, reliable fulfillment practices, transparent handling times, valid tracking information, seller accountability, inventory transparency, and seller-controlled shipping operations.
To support these protections, sellers must maintain operational control over inventory before shipment, inspect inventory before shipment, ship directly to buyers, maintain accurate handling times, cooperate during investigations, and comply with Platform shipping and fulfillment requirements.
Nothing in this Policy creates any partnership, joint venture, agency relationship, employment relationship, fiduciary relationship, distribution relationship, or franchise relationship between Ya’Mar and sellers.
2. Definitions and Scope
“Third-party sourcing” refers to obtaining inventory from manufacturers, suppliers, wholesalers, distributors, inventory providers, sourcing partners, fulfillment partners, or other third-party inventory channels.
“Seller fulfilled inventory” means inventory that is first shipped to the seller or seller-controlled fulfillment location, physically received and inspected by the seller, packaged by the seller, and then shipped directly to the buyer by the seller.
The seller remains solely responsible for fulfillment obligations and remains the merchant of record, seller of record, and shipper of record for Platform transactions.
Direct supplier-to-buyer shipment is prohibited regardless of:
-
Blind shipping arrangements
-
White labeling
-
Packaging modifications
-
Supplier branding removal
-
Third-party logistics arrangements
-
Alternate forwarding methods
-
Hidden fulfillment structures
Sellers are solely responsible for ensuring they possess lawful ownership rights, resale rights, sourcing authority, distribution rights, and legal authority to sell listed inventory.
3. Mandatory Seller-First Fulfillment Requirement
Sellers using third-party sourced inventory must receive inventory at their own address or controlled fulfillment location before shipment to buyers.
Sellers are required to inspect inventory for accuracy, authenticity, quality, defects, damage, and Policy compliance before shipment occurs. Sellers must securely package inventory, upload valid tracking information, use approved shipping systems where required, and ship directly to buyers.
Ya’Mar reserves the right to request proof of possession, supplier invoices, warehouse documentation, sourcing documentation, shipping records, tracking evidence, packaging evidence, inventory records, or fulfillment records at any time for fraud prevention, dispute investigations, chargeback investigations, operational reviews, compliance audits, or marketplace integrity purposes.
Orders fulfilled through unauthorized direct supplier-to-buyer shipment violate this Policy and may result in listing removal, payout holds, refund liability, reserve requirements, loss of Ya’Mar Shield eligibility, account restrictions, collections activity, arbitration, legal enforcement, or permanent suspension where permitted by law.
4. Processing Times and Seller Operational Responsibilities
Sellers may select handling and processing times that reasonably reflect the time necessary to receive inventory, inspect products, process orders, coordinate logistics, package items, manage staffing needs, and fulfill shipments.
Processing time refers only to seller handling time and does not include carrier transit time.
There is no maximum handling time requirement; however, unrealistic fulfillment timelines, misleading shipping estimates, repeated late shipment behavior, inaccurate handling times, operational failures, excessive delays, or failure to ship within selected processing windows may result in reduced listing visibility, order cancellations, reserve requirements, payout delays, loss of seller protections, account restrictions, or enforcement actions.
Estimated delivery dates and shipping estimates are estimates only and are not guaranteed unless otherwise required by law.
Sellers remain solely responsible for ensuring processing times accurately reflect actual fulfillment operations and shipping capabilities.
5. Shipping Requirements and Platform Integrations
All shipments must comply with the Ya’Mar Shipping Policy, including applicable tracking requirements, delivery confirmation requirements, approved carrier systems, shipment timing requirements, weight accuracy requirements, package dimension accuracy requirements, and Platform integration requirements.
Ya’Mar may integrate with third-party shipping systems, logistics providers, tracking providers, carrier aggregation providers, fulfillment technologies, shipping label providers, and supported shipping networks, including ShipEngine and participating carrier systems.
Tracking scans, shipment events, estimated delivery dates, logistics updates, and carrier information may depend on third-party systems outside Ya’Mar’s control.
Sellers may not use unauthorized shipping arrangements, unsupported tracking systems, supplier-generated shipping labels, false tracking uploads, unauthorized fulfillment systems, third-party retail marketplace fulfillment systems, or deceptive shipping arrangements intended to circumvent Platform protections or shipping requirements.
Use of unauthorized fulfillment methods may void Ya’Mar Shield eligibility, trigger reserve requirements, result in disputes being decided against the seller, or result in account enforcement actions.
6. Packaging and Branding Standards
All shipments must reasonably appear as originating from the seller.
Packages must not contain supplier invoices, unauthorized supplier branding, supplier advertisements, third-party marketplace materials, or packaging indicating unauthorized supplier-to-buyer fulfillment.
Seller-controlled sender information and accurate buyer information must be displayed where applicable.
Shipments indicating unauthorized supplier fulfillment may be treated as evidence of Policy violations or deceptive fulfillment activity.
7. Prohibited Fulfillment Practices
Sellers may not engage in deceptive, unauthorized, fraudulent, or misleading fulfillment practices.
Prohibited practices include direct supplier-to-buyer shipment, unauthorized subcontracted fulfillment, retail arbitrage fulfillment from third-party marketplaces, hidden supplier relationships, supplier-generated tracking uploads, proxy fulfillment schemes, false shipment origins, deceptive operational structures, counterfeit sourcing, replica goods, unauthorized branded inventory, stolen goods, prohibited items, misleading handling times, or circumvention of Platform protections.
Sellers may not evade this Policy through alternate accounts, intermediary forwarding services, undisclosed logistics arrangements, hidden operational structures, or deceptive sourcing practices.
8. Buyer Protection, Refunds, and Disputes
All seller fulfilled transactions remain subject to the Ya’Mar Shield Protection Policy, Returns & Refund Policy, Seller Standards Policy, chargeback procedures, and all other applicable Platform Policies.
Sellers remain fully responsible for late shipments, delivery failures, damaged goods, packaging defects, tracking inaccuracies, counterfeit inventory, fulfillment mistakes, supplier errors, and misrepresented inventory.
Supplier mistakes or supplier conduct do not relieve sellers of refund obligations, chargeback liability, fee obligations, enforcement consequences, customs obligations, or Policy compliance responsibilities.
Sellers agree to reasonably cooperate with carrier investigations, fraud investigations, insurance claims, dispute reviews, delivery verification procedures, and lost package investigations.
9. Seller Protection Eligibility
Seller Protection eligibility may apply only where sellers fully comply with this Policy, shipping requirements, tracking requirements, handling time obligations, fraud prevention requirements, and all applicable Platform Policies.
Seller Protection may be denied where sellers:
-
Ship late
-
Upload invalid tracking
-
Use unauthorized fulfillment methods
-
Misrepresent fulfillment activity
-
Violate intellectual property laws
-
Engage in deceptive conduct
-
Fail to cooperate during investigations
-
Violate Platform Policies
10. Marketplace Quality Control and Listing Removal
Ya’Mar reserves the right to remove, restrict, suppress, disable, limit visibility of, demonetize, or permanently prohibit listings, inventory, sourcing arrangements, fulfillment workflows, sellers, or operational methods that negatively impact marketplace integrity, customer experience, Platform reputation, fraud prevention efforts, operational reliability, legal compliance, or customer service quality.
Ya’Mar may take enforcement action where reasonably necessary due to:
-
Excessive shipping delays
-
Poor fulfillment performance
-
Repeated customer complaints
-
High dispute rates
-
Excessive refunds or chargebacks
-
Invalid tracking activity
-
Inaccurate listings
-
Misleading descriptions
-
Suspicious sourcing behavior
-
Untrusted or unverifiable suppliers
-
Counterfeit risk
-
Low-quality inventory
-
Unauthorized branded inventory
-
Poor packaging standards
-
Failure to meet seller performance expectations
-
Negative impact on customer service or marketplace trust
-
Failure to cooperate during investigations
-
Violations of Platform Policies
Ya’Mar may also restrict or prohibit certain sourcing methods, fulfillment arrangements, inventory categories, suppliers, shipping workflows, or operational structures where reasonably necessary to protect buyers, payment systems, Platform operations, fraud prevention systems, or marketplace integrity.
Repeated operational failures, abusive conduct, poor customer experience metrics, suspicious sourcing activity, or fulfillment-related violations may result in listing removal, reserve requirements, delayed payouts, account restrictions, permanent suspension, collections activity, arbitration, or legal enforcement where permitted by law.
11. Fraud Prevention and Marketplace Integrity
To maintain Platform integrity, Ya’Mar may monitor fulfillment patterns, supplier-related activity, tracking activity, dispute rates, refund behavior, shipping irregularities, transaction history, device information, listing behavior, processing times, seller conduct, and operational risk indicators.
Ya’Mar may use automated systems, AI-assisted review tools, fraud detection systems, machine learning technologies, automated moderation systems, behavioral analysis systems, and risk-scoring technologies to detect fraud, identify suspicious fulfillment activity, investigate disputes, monitor abuse, evaluate seller risk, and enforce Platform Policies.
Ya’Mar reserves the right to investigate suspicious activity, freeze transactions, hold or reverse funds, impose rolling reserves, delay payouts, remove listings, deny Ya’Mar Shield eligibility, restrict seller accounts, refer matters to payment processors, regulators, customs authorities, law enforcement agencies, arbitrators, or collections agencies, and pursue arbitration or legal enforcement where permitted by law.
Excessive disputes, suspicious fulfillment behavior, repeated operational failures, invalid tracking activity, excessive chargebacks, or repeated customer complaints may result in increased monitoring, additional verification requirements, reserve requirements, payout holds, account restrictions, or permanent suspension.
12. Recovery Authorization and Outstanding Balances
If a seller’s account balance becomes negative or insufficient to cover refunds, reversals, chargebacks, shipping overages, customs fees, taxes, penalties, dispute costs, collections costs, enforcement expenses, or other amounts owed relating to fulfillment activity, the seller authorizes Ya’Mar LLC and its payment processors to charge any payment method, debit card, credit card, bank account, or funding source linked to the account where permitted by law.
Outstanding balances may be deducted from future payouts, referred to collections agencies, pursued through arbitration, or pursued through legal enforcement where permitted by law.
Policy violations do not relieve sellers of responsibility for Platform fees, refunds, shipping adjustments, taxes, customs obligations, chargebacks, collections costs, enforcement expenses, or outstanding balances.
13. Platform Role and Limitation of Liability
Ya’Mar is an online marketplace platform only.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Ya’Mar is not responsible for supplier conduct, manufacturing defects, inventory shortages, carrier failures, customs delays, third-party fulfillment failures, operational interruptions, governmental actions, import/export restrictions, transaction disputes between users, or operational failures outside reasonable control.
Sellers assume all risks associated with:
-
Inventory sourcing
-
Supplier relationships

Fulfillment operations

14. International Compliance Responsibilities
Sellers are solely responsible for complying with applicable customs laws, sanctions laws, import/export regulations, labeling requirements, product safety laws, international shipping regulations, consumer protection laws, trade restrictions, and regulatory obligations applicable to sourced inventory and shipped products.
15. Enforcement and Account Actions
Ya’Mar may review listings, tracking records, supplier documentation, fulfillment activity, compliance history, shipping data, transaction patterns, buyer complaints, operational records, and risk indicators to investigate potential violations.
Violations of this Policy may result in listing removal, payout holds, reserve requirements, refund liability, account restrictions, collections activity, arbitration, legal enforcement, or permanent suspension where permitted by law.
Funds may be held for up to one hundred eighty (180) days or longer where permitted by law, payment processor obligations, dispute investigations, fraud prevention requirements, or legal enforcement matters.
