Been selling item for six years. Now it's blocked and I can't even TRY to request approval for it. Why?

I've been selling a particular item for over six years. Sometime in the last week or so, it changed to "Inactive" in Manage Inventory, and when I click "Fix listing issue" it says "Request selling approval for policy compliance". No problem, I can do that. I have invoices from an authorised supplier.

Oh, except that when i click on "Request approval" it just says "We are not accepting applications to sell: [this brand]"

If I try to add it anew, it just says "Not available."

Others are still selling it. Why aren't I even allowed to try requesting approval? Is it a Christmas thing?

The other thing is I checked back through old emails and can't see any indication of any prior warning. So thanks, Amazon.

I'd appreciate an explanation of why any of this is a good thing...

Just found another. I only created the listing 3 three weeks and there were zero issues then (I always check before ordering new items).

Now my stock has arrived, I go to create an FBA shipment, and that's how I find out it's now "not available". Great. That's $200+ down the drain, basically.

Is there no way to get some kind of prior notice?
