Brand Approval Joke
When you upload all the correct documents, chain of custody, and they just reply :
"Thank you for your application to sell ....... products. We have reviewed the documentation that you provided and determined that you are not eligible to sell ...... products. We evaluated the information that you provided, but it did not pass our review.We took this action to ensure the mutual success of our sellers and buyers on our site."
I then ask what they actually need given I've supplied them with everything as per Seller Central -
"Thank you for your application to sell ....... products. We have reviewed the documentation that you provided and determined that you are not eligible to sell ...... products. We evaluated the information that you provided, but it did not pass our review.We took this action to ensure the mutual success of our sellers and buyers on our site."
Won't/can't tell me anything.
How are we supposed to run a business when you have to buy branded products through proper channels to even become approved, and then they deny it anyway. What am I supposed to do with £2k worth of stock now...!?

Hello @Seller_pQp7vJfVDOaNh!
At this moment, unfortunately, the team won't always provide a lot of information around these decisions as the processes around are extremely confidential.
Categories and products that require approval

On the invoice- try and have the name of pdf like : Invoice - Brand name - most of the times it works.
Also with Ungating, I would always recommend to buy only 10 or required amount then see if you are approved.
Otherwise can end up , like you said with loads of stock that you cannot sell

You can still sell your stock
Amazon is not the only place to sell!
it's crazy this attitude many people have now, they literally think that Amazon is the only place to buy stuff online, it's one of the reasons why Amazon are such a nightmare to deal with, got to get younger people out of this mindset, otherwise ecommerce is doomed

Purchase 10 items from the manufacturer for as cheap as possible.
Items must have a name/title on the invoice also, SKUS or Generic names like dino toy etc aren't going to cut it.
Try to ungate the item you have bought 10 of, not any other item by the same brand.
You should have no issues doing this if done correctly.
