Since you appear to be brand new, I will expand and give you my freshman, Amazon Rookie lecture (short version). Please read it.

You are confusing AMAZON allowing you to list (or at least "ungate") an item or category and actually being APPROVED to sell a product. Amazon may have ungated you for a CATEGORY but there can be 100's of brands in the category and they ALL have their own restrictions.

AMAZON is only interested in FEES. They will allow a chimpanzee to list if it means they collect $$$$$.

You really need to go study Seller U instead of TikTok and YouTube before your account gets kicked to the curb permanently.

Since you don't appear to have done that PLEASE pay attention to the following:

Here are the NEW rules for selling on the ‘new and improved’ Amazon. Only you can tell us if you meet the requirements.

The first question is -- Are you authorized IN WRITING by the BRAND to sell their items on Amazon? That means from the BRAND, not some random wholesale source that can NOT authorize anything – they only SELL.

More and more brands have provided a "whitelist" of their approved sellers and if YOU are NOT on the list you will be stopped in your tracks and probably hit with an IP violation.

The second (and probably more important) question is -- Where are you sourcing your products? Are you buying direct from the brand or through an AUTHORIZED wholesale source?

Have you verified with the BRAND that your distributor IS an authorized wholesale distributor for ALL of their products. Some wholesalers are only allowed to distribute portions of a product line.

NOTE – FOR 'GATED' CATEGORIES' DOING RA IS NOT PERMITTED ON AMAZON. PERIOD. If you have to 'apply to sell' you WILL need an INVOICE from an AUTHORIZED distributor and not a receipt.

VACATION MODE NOW!

Hello @Seller_1katX8TgRQ78y,

Michelle at Amazon here. I see that @Seller_kIukTwdhvntAp has provided you with some great information. Some categories require approval to sell and require proof you have authorization directly from the brand to sell their listings on Amazon.

If you have a specific case you want me to review, please provide it so I can take a look.

Thanks,

Michelle
