Blocked Listings
I have 3 listings on my account. This is the first time I am adding a product, but I get a message saying that I do not comply with the policies. It says the product is classified as a pesticide. I took the pesticide course, but the listings are still blocked. It has been more than 15 days. How can I fix this?
Hi @Seller_AHQmkDApzL0hp,
Let me help explain what might be needed next.
According to the "How to add EPA information to a listing" section at Pesticides and Pesticide Devices, completing the course is just the first step. Each listing also needs a Pesticide Marking attribute added to it.
Here's what you could try:
1. Go to Inventory > Manage Inventory
2. Find your blocked listing and select "Edit"
3. Select "Advanced View" and go to the "Compliance" tab
4. Under "Pesticide Marking" attribute:
5. Click "Save and Finish"
Here's something else to consider: The "Why is my product flagged as a pesticide?" section at Compliance ID Attribute – Pesticide Marking explains that certain product descriptions might trigger the pesticide classification. Terms like "disinfect," "repel insects," "remove allergens," or "prevent bacteria" could cause this. If your products aren't actually pesticides, reviewing and potentially adjusting these descriptions might help resolve the issue.
Hope this helps get your listings back up and running!
Best regards, Michael
