Hello, I would like to ask you a question: Can Amazon products be sold on Amazon?

Don't go there. I do not believe you can purchase items off of Amazon to then sell on Amazon.

"Can Amazon products be sold on Amazon?"
Obviously they CAN be sold here -- just NOT by you unless you somehow get an LOA from AMAZON allowing you to compete with them.
Have you studied Seller U at all?

Hit VACATION MODE for the next month or two while you spend some time actually studying how to NOT get suspended here.
THE AMAZON TWO STEP -- A NEW DANCE FOR SELLERS
More and more frequently Amazon is taking a TWO STEP approach and you are probably caught with not doing one of the steps (or either one!) There are still instances of Amazon NOT requiring the following but they are becoming more and more rare. Ignoring these is placing your account on the endangered species list if (when) Amazon asks for them.
DO NOT CONFUSE AMAZON allowing you to list (or at least "ungate") an item or category and actually being APPROVED to sell a product. Amazon might ungate 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 $$$$$.
Additionally, brands that you COULD sell yesterday may be restricted today or next week. Amazon is a moving target to deal with.
DO YOU have an LOA from the brand allowing you to sell on here?
If you have an LOA that specifically says you can sell on Amazon you MIGHT survive listing items.
More and more brands are providing 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.
DID YOU source from AUTHORIZED wholesale sources that your rep at the brand says are OK? You DO have a sales rep at the brand, don't you?
NOTE the verification is required from the brand that the source is legitimate and authorized, NOT from one of those touted on TikTok and YouTube as having "thousands of brands and products" that assures you that they are authorized.
If you have watched any YouTube or TikTok videos FORGET everything you saw there.
Spend hours/days on Seller U and read the Forum to see all the really creative ways rookies and experienced sellers find to get suspended by ignoring the advice above!

If you do FBA and you don't already have the above requirements in place you are probably going to have stranded inventory and a suspended account.

Hi there, CR here. You've received some great advice and guidance above by fellow communty members @Seller_OvL8C4BJWiuS9and @Seller_kIukTwdhvntApabove.
I only wanted to pop in here to reiterate the importance of visiting and reviewing as much as you can in Seller University. I've also included a few additional resources I'd recommend reviewing when it comes to sourcing items to sell with Amazon.
