RM e-Mart reserves the right to make judgments in its sole discretion about whether or not a listing is appropriate. If we determine that the content of a product detail page or listing is prohibited, potentially illegal, or inappropriate, we may remove or alter it without prior notice.
We are constantly innovating on behalf of our customers to improve the ways we detect illegal products and products that otherwise violate our policies, and we continually make adjustments to the systems we use to detect these products.. Also note that some products that are legal are still prohibited by our policies. Sellers who believe a product has been removed in error should contact Seller Support and we will review the product and make any appropriate adjustments to our systems as well as to the seller’s account status, as applicable. Note that moving a restricted product listing to Out of Stock (OOS) does not make the listing compliant.

If you think your product was incorrectly identified as a restricted product on RM e-Mart, close the listing immediately, to ensure compliance while you appeal the restriction with Seller Support
- Keeping Your Account Information Secure
The security of your account is important to us because it is central to your business. We recommend the following best practices to reinforce the security of your RM e-Mart account:
- Pick strong passwords that are different for each of your accounts and change your password regularly.
- Choosing the same password for each of your online accounts is like using the same key to lock your home, car and office – if a criminal gains access to one, all of them are compromised.
- Use a long password made up of numbers, letters and symbols.
- Avoid using publicly-available information (For example your phone number) in your passwords.
- Make sure that the email address or the mobile number that you use to sign-in to your account is up-to-date.
- If your business has multi-users, then have each user set up their own account and then link your accounts. Ensure that you regularly review secondary users who have access to your account and revoke access to users who no longer need access.
- Identifying false (spoofed) e-mails
You might receive emails from RM e-Mart, such as Sold, Ship Now emails or Technical Notification emails. These false emails, also called “spoofed” emails or “phishing,” look similar to legitimate emails from RM e-Mart. Often these emails direct you to a false website that looks similar to an RM e-Mart website, where you might be asked to give account information, such as your email address and password combination.
Unfortunately, these false websites can steal your sensitive information, which can then be used without your knowledge to commit fraud.
To protect yourself from responding to these emails, you can follow some simple rules:
What RM e-Mart will never ask for
RM e-Mart will never ask you for the following information in an email communication:
- Your bank account information, credit card number, PIN number, or credit card security code (including “updates” to any of the above)
- Your mother’s maiden name or other information to identify you (such as your place of birth or your favorite pet’s name)
- Your RM e-Mart or Seller Central password
