Hi - I started selling as an Individual seller (rather than pro) and listing used media items (books, dvds, cds) in August.

I'm becoming increasingly confused about the "Apply to Sell" button. I'm finding a high proportion of the items I try to list don't get approval! This is the info i get:

Submit documents

At least 1 purchase invoice for products from a manufacturer or distributor

Document must meet the following requirements:

Dated on or after 10-Apr-2024 (within 180 days)

Includes your name and address, matching the information in your selling account

Include the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor

Show the combined purchase of at least 10 units

Omit pricing information (optional)

Please note that, we may verify your submitted documentation by contacting product vendors you identify in your application.

The above is ridiculous, of course I don't have receipts, I'm trying to sell my own stuff which I've had for years! It doesn't make any sense to me. I've had hundreds of "applications to sell" refused, especially on dvds. Why is this?

I've looked at the relevant pages on Amazon but it doesn't tell me anything useful - just the same repeated phrases telling me I need authorisation.

Thx, Malt
