We have been selling products on Amazon for years, and have a perfect account health and sell in multiple categories.
We recently purchased a large oprder of a sunscreen product, we were approved to create listings and sell these proucts on Amazon, However at the last minute right before we were getting these sent out to FBA we recieved an error in the manage FBA shipments tab that we need to request approval and when we try to request we get the error that "You are not approved to list this product and we are not currently accepting applications."
Can I get some help here from a mod as it does not make sense that we are randomly blocked from selling product after being approved, and when we try to open a case log they just tell us that they have no direct contact to a team that could help......
We have thousands of dollars worth of product and have no way to sell it due to some random block. HELP!!!!!

A brand's sunscreen? Do you have valid invoices to sell this product (from the brand, not a supplier)? You may be better of selling on another platform.

There was an announcement regarding sunscreen. Which I cannot find.
Here's an answer from a mod regarding sunscreen:

Amazon will approve you to sell any product, at first, but if the Brand owner of said sunscreen product does not want 3rd party sellers selling their product on Amazon, Amazon will revoke your permission and deactivate your account. Often times without warning. I'm noticing more and more often unless you have direct permission from the brand owner, you will not be allowed to sell said product. Permission has to be directly to you from the Brand owner, not to the distributor you receive your products from. I don't know why Amazon has yet to clarify this.

well, expect anything from amazon. we wanted to sell great brand name sandals , amazon didn't accept invoices came directly from the brand owner and needed letter saying that brands allows us to sell it on amazon. asked our sales rep and received authorization letter from the CEO. sent it to amazon and they refused, the reason is: not because the brand allows you to sell on amazon means that you can sell. the actual reason was amazon themselves are retailer for the brand and don't need someone to compete with them. years later, when brands became less popular they allowed us to sell. wait now and try later, after summer they will let you sell.
