Marketplaces

The scheme in which the delivery of an expensive product cost more than the delivery of a cheap one with the same dimensions has been canceled. Wildberries and Ozon have decoupled logistics tariffs from the price of goods, reporting on the implementation of FAS warnings. Starting from July 31, Ozon also changes the designation in the card: instead of "Original", "Brand verified" will appear.

The Wildberries compensation program has reached the second stage. It included more than 97,000 entrepreneurs, representatives of small and medium—sized businesses, whose goods were damaged at the company's logistics facilities. The first tranche and loan holidays were announced earlier, and the site announced the coverage of the second stage for the first time.

The summer of 2026 has accustomed sellers to the fact that tariffs are only moving up. Wildberries has gone the other way: since July 31, order processing under the FBS scheme has become cheaper. At the same time, the site rewrote the rules for redirecting supplies to its warehouses — the Penza route goes to Nikolskoye, Domodedovo-2, Kazan and Novosemeikino.

Ozon sellers were preparing for July 31 as the date for the increase in commissions on FBO. There will be no increase: the site canceled it and postponed the launch of the local sales system to August 30. The promised discount of 6 percentage points for local orders was canceled along with it. Starting on August 30, the discount will be 3 points and not all clusters will get it.

The story, which has been dragging on since April, has come to an end. The Federal Antimonopoly Service issued warnings to Wildberries and Ozon about opaque deadlines for settlements with sellers back in the spring. Two and a half months later, both sites reported on their performance: money for the sold goods is now required to be credited to the seller's account no later than 30 calendar days from the date of sale. Previously, there was no specific ceiling in the contracts.

Ozon lowered tariffs under the FBS scheme, a rare downward move amid a series of commission increases this summer. Since July 23, self-shipment of goods to the sorting centers of the site has become completely free, delivery to pick-up points has become cheaper, and courier visits to the seller's warehouse are 22% cheaper. Shipping deadlines without penalties have been extended separately, and according to the FBO scheme, these improvements are valid until September 15.

Yandex Market became the third site that rewrote the offer so that it would not be responsible for the goods lost in the warehouse during external accidents. Since July 20, the risk of damage to the leftovers in such cases lies entirely with the seller. Similar formulations were previously introduced by Wildberries and Ozon — now all three major marketplaces have the same conditions.

Wildberries has expanded its support measures for sellers whose businesses have been affected by incidents in the company's warehouses. A loan deferral has been added to the monetary compensation announced earlier. For large businesses, the decision is made individually. At the same time, the site reports on the restructuring of logistics — thousands of sorting centers across the country are involved in order to minimize delays in delivery.

The deadline, which seemed far away, suddenly approached by two months. Ozon previously asked sellers to upload certification documents for all products by October 1, even in positions where a certificate is not legally required. The new message from the site changes the practice: starting from July 27, undocumented goods will gradually begin to be hidden from the showcase. The sellers have only a few days left.
