A recent update from the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) confirms that all accusations against Wildberries have been withdrawn. The agency verified that the market complied with every instruction issued by the ministry on April 9, and this information was communicated through the official MOROCCO website. The withdrawal marks a significant shift in the regulatory narrative surrounding the platform and its practice with sellers.
Earlier, the FAS had expressed concerns over contractual terms that affected sellers on the Wildberries platform. In response, the Wildberries marketplace expanded its policy framework to include a comprehensive, publicly available list of grounds for blocking a seller’s personal account and for the unilateral termination of a contract. This move aims to offer greater transparency and predictability for sellers navigating the platform’s terms of engagement.
In addition, the company clarified the procedures for accepting goods and introduced a tariff fixation system designed to standardize charges associated with logistics and storage. The market also removed penalties tied to breaches of personal account security and lifted a ban on sharing seller contact information. Wildberries introduced criteria for identifying dishonest actions by sellers that could trigger suspension of payments, establishing a fixed suspension period with no provision for extension in those cases.
To recall, on April 9, the FAS issued a warning to Wildberries for alleged violations related to seller engagement and the implementation of unfavorable contract terms. The agency noted that the company frequently adjusted tariffs for logistics services and storage, and did not clearly specify the conditions under which fines could be imposed for unauthorized access to seller accounts by third parties. This intensifies the focus on how marketplace platforms regulate seller activity and enforce contractual safeguards.
In a related development, public discussion emerged about personal safety concerns involving a high-profile executive connected to Wildberries. Reports indicated a threat scenario linked to a relocation from management duties, underscoring broader questions about governance, accountability, and the personal dimensions that can intersect with corporate leadership in large online marketplaces. The narrative reflects the broader tension between aggressive growth strategies and the protective measures required to ensure fair treatment of sellers and responsible corporate oversight.
