Hi everyone,

I’m brand new to Amazon selling and could really use some guidance. I just took the leap and invested in everything I need to start selling used books through FBA: A Scoutly membership for sourcing, a barcode scanner, shipping supplies, a decent-size inventory of used books sourced from local thrift stores and independent booksellers, And of course, I signed up and paid for a professional Amazon Seller account

The goal was simple: start a small, used book business by giving pre-owned books a second life through Amazon. However, every single book I’ve tried to list so far has been restricted or gated, regardless of condition or category.

This is incredibly discouraging, especially since selling used books was the only reason I created and paid for the seller account. I'm feeling pretty lost, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if there’s a hidden process I need to go through to get ungated for books or specific publishers.

Has anyone experienced this before? Are there workarounds? Do restrictions lighten over time with account age or sales? Is there something else I should try before giving up?

Any advice would be hugely appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

customer returned a different item and we contact them regarding the issue and then end up file an A-Z claim.

Does anyone know what’s the best action we can take

Dear Amazon Compliance Team,

I am writing to follow up on the ongoing compliance review for our ASIN: B0DTH63QRW, which has now been under review for over two months, and we have yet to receive any detailed feedback or next steps required from our side.

Kindly provide an update on the current status of the case and advise if any additional information or documentation is needed to expedite the review process. Your assistance in resolving this matter at the earliest would be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your continued support.

Hello after reading the policy at:

https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/GZZVY5QX4DZHWHSW?initialSessionID=eu%3D260-4096234-0818905&ld=NSGoogle&pageName=US%3ASD%3ACR-overview#mnd_2jc_jcb__section_glp_hvc_fjb

We as a video game seller are seeing more and more Amazon renewed GAMES. Under the policy the only item that can qualify is Video game system and controllers.

In addition it states on the policy:

All Renewed products must be capable of being repaired or refurbished and tested to look and work in accordance with the Amazon Renewed Quality policy. Repair or refurbish capability means that products must have electrical or mechanical components that can be replaced or upgraded to new or like-new condition.

Can a Mod explain how a video game DISC has an electrical or mechanical component?

To ensure a positive customer experience, Amazon will remove any products from Amazon Renewed that are not capable of being repaired or refurbished, pose a hygienic or safety risk, or violate any other Amazon policies.

The below listing has been active for years with many other Disc video games, can I get some clarification on this?
