Product listing issue

If you’re encountering the error message “You are not approved to list this product and we are not accepting applications at this time” when trying to list groceries on your Amazon seller account, it indicates that Amazon currently restricts the ability to sell that specific category of products.

To address this issue and potentially gain approval to sell groceries on Amazon, you can take the following steps:

1. Review Amazon’s category restrictions: Visit Amazon’s Seller Central and navigate to the “Categories and Products Requiring Approval” section. Check if there are any specific requirements or qualifications you need to meet in order to sell groceries. This information will help you understand the process and criteria for approval.
2. Ensure compliance with requirements: Verify that you meet all the necessary requirements for selling groceries, such as having the appropriate licenses and permits. In your case, having a trade license for selling food products and supplements is a positive start. Make sure you have any additional documents or certifications that may be required.
3. Contact Amazon Seller Support: Reach out to Amazon’s Seller Support team directly to inquire about the specific restrictions and the process for getting approval to sell groceries. They can provide guidance, clarify any doubts, and assist you in navigating the approval process.
4. Provide requested information: If Amazon requests any additional information or documentation to assess your eligibility, promptly provide the requested details. This may include proof of your trade license or any other relevant certifications.
5. Explore alternative channels: While waiting for approval from Amazon, consider selling your groceries through other platforms or channels. This can help you generate sales and establish your business presence while you work towards gaining approval on Amazon.

Remember to be patient throughout the process, as Amazon’s approval procedures can take time. By diligently following the guidelines, providing the necessary information, and communicating with Amazon’s support team, you improve your chances of getting approval to sell groceries on the platform.
