Response time limits across marketplaces: Amazon, eBay, Walmart, Trendyol

Deadlines differ, and so do the penalties. The harshest rule is Hepsiburada's: once the window closes the question is shut and the API refuses your answer.

Rule by rule

Amazon expects a fast reply and counts automated-looking contact against you. eBay folds response time into the seller standard. Walmart reports a response-rate metric and marks templated replies as low value. Trendyol gives 12 hours on single-answer product questions, 24 hours generally, and another 24 after a reminder email. Hepsiburada allows one business day, then closes the question permanently.

The penalty is what differs

Most marketplaces lower your score. Hepsiburada removes the ability to answer at all. That changes how you should queue: sort waiting questions by how close they are to expiry, not by when they arrived.

A number worth knowing

Trendyol reports that shops replying within the first half hour sell eight times more than the rest. Response time is usually framed as a penalty. It is really a revenue number.

Frequently asked

Which marketplace has the strictest deadline?

Hepsiburada. After one business day the question closes and the API will not accept an answer.

Can I use automatic replies on Amazon?

Amazon counts unnecessary or automated-looking contact against you. Drafting and approving is safer than sending automatically.
