Marketplace Sellers on Walmart

Marketplace sellers offer more brands and wider selections for you. These sellers also accept eligible returns in our stores.

  • Only qualified businesses can sell on Walmart Marketplace.
  • Our selection process looks at the seller’s:
    • Catalog
    • Operations
    • Other business information

This helps us ensure sellers can give the same high-quality experiences to all our Walmart.com customers.

Walmart doesn’t share your financial information with any seller.

Walmart regularly monitors Marketplace seller performance

  • Sellers who give the best service earn a Pro Seller badge on the item page.
  • You can find the Sellers names next to the sold and shipped by label.

If Walmart fulfills your item:

The Marketplace seller keeps their inventory at Walmart fulfillment centers. Walmart will pick, pack, and ship the item(s).

From your Walmart account, you can:

  • Track items
  • View Returns/Replacements
  • View Refunds

Contact the seller with questions about:

  • Item specifications
  • Technical support
  • Any applicable warranties

If your item sold and shipped by a Marketplace seller:

  • You get the same secure checkout process and single payment that you have come to expect when shopping at Walmart.com.
  • Contact the seller directly for any problem with your order.
  • If the seller doesn’t solve your issue, Walmart Customer Care is available to help following the Walmart Marketplace Promise.
  • If you want to return an item sold and shipped by a Marketplace seller, you can return it to a Walmart store within 30 days (certain restrictions apply) without a box or shipping label. Please review the Marketplace Return Policy for more information.

Contacting a Seller

Contact the seller about your purchase from your account on Walmart.com.
