Product Suddenly Gated
ASIN: B000QVPE2C
We’ve been selling this product for years, probably one of the first we started selling on here 10+ years ago. However, suddenly last week we were delisted and blocked from relisting it. We could see no reason for the blocking so contacted Amazon CS for guidance. I’ve pasted their full answer below but in short they are saying the listing is gated and needs approval to sell it, but they aren’t accepting applications at the moment. My guess is that this isn’t just impacting us as there used to be several sellers on the listing at any time, but now there’s just one FBA seller.
Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
One thing I have spotted is that we do have an FBA listing for this ASIN which has gone unused for some time and it is appearing that it is allowing me to send replenishment stocks to FBA. Is it worth doing this or is it likely that it would just sit stranded?
Thanks

Hello from Amazon Selling Partner Support,
I hope you are doing well.
I understand you are having an issue with ASIN B000QVPE2C that is currently blocked.
Upon checking, the listing is gated and requires approval for selling. However, it cannot be relisted for now as we are currently not accepting applications to sell the listing.
A product may have listing limitations if there are potential product quality, product branding or consumer safety concerns. In an effort to ensure that customers are able to buy with confidence from all sellers on Amazon, Amazon requires proof of supplier to apply to sell certain products.
This product may also have these additional listing limitations:
-The product has listing limitations because of regulatory or other restrictions and Amazon is currently not accepting applications -The product has regional compatibility issues and therefore cannot be sold in all regions -The product has listing limitations for a limited amount of time and Amazon is currently not accepting applications
We will not be able to provide any further information at this time. We are grateful for your patience and understanding.
