Hey guys, I am trying to sell my own branded product on Amazon. I created the listing, and it was fine for over a month. But when I try to edit the listing or send inventory, I get the following message:

"You need approval to list this ASIN."

And when I click "Request Approval," I get the following:

"We are not accepting applications to sell:

Other Health & Personal Care category in Refurbished, Collectible condition(s)

Other Health & Personal Care category in Used condition(s)

Other product(s)"

I have contacted seller support several times and they always give a different answer. The most coherent one was that I am gated from selling my own brand because I am not brand registered.

This product is new conditions, on a category that doesn't require approval (according to amazon), my account is brand new and in healthy conditions, and I am the brand owner just not brand registered.

Am I gated from the category or from my Brand because I am not brand-registered?

Can anyone help here?

I am sourcing a product that is not currently listed as a brand on Amazon. Can I complete Brand Approval during the add a listing step as a seller? The brand owner is not interested in the Brand Registry step. I want to avoid listing the product as “generic” since it is clearly branded and I have no intention of claiming ownership by completing the Brand Approval step. Is this acceptable?

My understanding of Brand Approval is that it is not a claim of brand ownership and simply to prove that the brand is real and it exists (hence pictures as proof). Of course, any other seller can then use the same brand name if they choose to list other products by the same brand.

Feedback appreciated. I don’t want to unknowingly make a mistake here.

Hi im a new seller i had one question in my mind

i saw a private label product which had really good profit margins.So i seached for the brand but coudnt find any website where i could get approval to sell this product. the owner himself source it from china(its on the product) and it didnt had any packaging or anything so i did some research and found a very good manufucturer in china selling same product. I purchased 10 units from them and when i got it then i applied for ungating abviously it took time(15 days) got get ungated now im sending it to amazon but i was thinking if he had trademark so will he try to hurt my account? the product is same as his but still i was thinking if he is gonna do anything? and can he? i will keep the price same as him because i am not trying to highjack his sales...any comments on can something bad happen? i know i thinked about it at the last but i didnt knew about many things before..I THOUGHT IF I GET UNGATED ILL BE ALL OKAY..
