I'm hoping posting this on the forum may get me further that my consistent emails to the handmade team has..

I've applied for Amazon Handmade, I actually applied last year and my application was refused on the grounds that I don't have a valid selling account. I do have a selling account, and all of my information is up to date but each time I contact the team, or one of the emails I have been told to contact I either get ignored, a generic reply or my emails bounce back as the addresses aren't valid.

Has anyone experienced this and can anyone possibly advise?

Hello,

I'm quite new here on Amazon, so I don't know much about all these listing options and many others on the site. I would like to know if handmade products must be listed only in the Handmade section or if they can be listed in another section without additional fees. This information might be available on the site, but I haven't found it. I would appreciate it if someone could help me with this issue.

Thank you,

Lory

Hi everyone,

I recently submitted an appeal for a listing issue, but my case was unexpectedly assigned to the Handmade Integrity Team, even though my product is not a handmade item and was never listed in the Handmade category.

Has anyone else experienced this? I’m trying to understand why my appeal is being reviewed by this team when my product has nothing to do with Handmade. Could this be a misclassification issue on Amazon’s end?

Some details about my case:

The product was listed under a regular (non-handmade) category.

I never applied for or registered under Amazon Handmade.

My appeal was related to a different issue (e.g., listing removal, policy violation, etc.).

Amazon’s response specifically mentioned the Handmade Integrity Team reviewing my case.

I’m concerned that this may slow down the appeal process or lead to unnecessary complications. If anyone has insights on why this might be happening or how to redirect my case to the appropriate team, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
