IEIM901610 - Active Sellers

The Model Rules define an Active Seller as ‘any Seller that either provides relevant services or sells goods during the Reportable Period or is paid or credited Consideration in connection with Relevant Activities during the Reportable Period’. It therefore follows that a Seller that is registered on a Platform but that does not provide any services or sell any goods, or is not paid in connection with the provision of those goods or services, during a Reportable Period is not an Active Seller.

A Reporting Platform Operator must carry out due diligence procedures on all Sellers unless it elects to carry them out only on Active Sellers (see 902530)
