How on earth do we now get brand approval?

1. Trying to list a new item for a brand which I am already using. Now says I need Brand Approval for the item. So I click on 'Apply to Sell' button and it takes me to a 'View Selling Applications' page and it now shows that the Brand I am trying to list against has a 'declined' beside it - even though I have already gone through the approval process for this brand and have offers against the brand which are active. Clicking the 'reapply' button does nothing.

2. Trying to list a product for a new Brand. Again says I need Brand Approval and again the 'Apply to Sell' button takes me to 'View Selling Applications' page - but now what do I do?

In both cases I am taken to 'View Selling Applications' - but there is no facility, option or button to start a new application only to look at historical old applications - for which many now say 'declined' even though I have been given approval in the past. I cannot see anywhere how to start a new brand approval application.

Help pages refers to getting a 'Request Approval' option which is certainly how it used to work - but now I am instead just taken to this 'View Selling Applications' page and then there is nowhere to go to start a new application.
