brand approval and apply for exception ,

hi there.

having a bit of trouble trying to list items .

i recently appiled and was accepted for brand approval . i tried uploading a listing on a diff product and applied for gtin exception and was brought to the brand approval screen .. I may be wrong but , does this mean that for every product you wish to sell you need to purchase it with your brand logo on it and then upload to amazon for approval ..

After approval , you can then list as many product item as you like including dropshipping

thanking you for any replies in advance

regards
