Dear community,
We would love your help! We are a new seller on Amazon, selling a food product we manufacture, under a brand name we own, that we have listed in the Amazon registry, with products that have never before been sold on Amazon. We cannot figure out how to get our products listed in the gourmet food category in the snack bars sub-category.

• If we go through the normal listing process, the submit button is blocked with a red circle with a line through it.
• We never can get to a “selling application” because the products have never before been sold on Amazon and we never get a button to fill out one.
• We have had numerous email chains with Seller Central Help, and they always give us irrelevant answers that have nothing to do with getting the category un-gated.
  Do you have recommendations for how we can get around this hurdle? We’ve spent hours on it and are stuck. Thank you so, so, much!
