I have had several PM accounts and have NEVER been asked to provide any type of proof of insurance.
It DOES kind of make sense in a way, though, especially if you are the manufacturer of a product. We live in a lawsuit crazed society. If someone buys something through Amazon and the product causes injury, the attorneys always want to sue as many people as possible - to increase the chances of being able to collect on a judgment. And Amazon, of course, is the entity of choice, since they are most likely the party with the most money.
Maybe they only enforce it if you are selling certain things. I mostly sell books - very uinlikely to cause injury - so maybe that is why they don't bother with me.
