Amazon Ireland - Selling Applications taking weeks to get a response?

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if anyone has tried reuqesting selling applications for brands on Amazon.ie, and if you've had any response?

When we got word to start creating listings on Amazon.ie, we used the tool to import our listings from our Amazon.de dashboard (which is our home base). In doing so, it transfered a load of listings over, but decided I needed to request approval for most of the stock, which is fine.

I submitted the various invoices on Dec 13th, and it gave me estimated response dates between the 17th-20th Dec. Howver, it's now Dec 22nd, and Amazon still haven't responded. All of them are just listed as "Under Review".

I've never seen these take more than a few days before, so was curious if others are having the same issue? I presume it's just cause there's a massive backlog as they launch the new site, but being Irish, I was hoping to get going at listing asap, and 95% of our stock seems locked behind needing to apply now.
