Overview
- Amazon told list holders it will remove the option to block third‑party sellers on March 25, 2026, enabling those sellers to fulfill gifts from public or shared lists.
- The company’s notice says recipients’ delivery addresses will be provided to sellers and may become visible to gift purchasers through delivery updates and tracking.
- Amazon recommends using a PO box or non‑residential address, or changing list settings to private/shared or removing the address entirely to limit exposure.
- Streamers, influencers, and sex workers are publicly raising safety concerns and advising peers to change settings or stop using public Amazon lists.
- Confusion over timing persisted after some settings pages showed a Feb. 25 start date, though Amazon confirmed the effective date as March 25, and many creators are steering fans to alternatives like Throne that advertise stronger privacy.
