        Takeback: a maximum of 18 policies per seller may be created


        A successful create policy call returns an HTTP status code of 201 Created with the system-generated policy ID included in the Location response header.


        Product Compliance Policy


        Product Compliance policies disclose product information as required for regulatory compliance.


        Note: A maximum of 60 Product Compliance policies per seller may be created.


        Takeback Policy


        Takeback policies describe the seller''s legal obligation to take back a previously purchased item when the buyer purchases a new one.
