How to Open Amazon Gated Categories
- Selling on Amazon can be a challenge if you can’t list all your products.
- Amazon prohibits or restricts the sale of anything, including whole categories of products, so the rules are not the same for every locale.
- Some categories of gated products can be closed off due to seasonal, brand, seller, and condition requirements.
- There are tools available to check for gated categories, such as Profit Bandit and Sellery.
- You must provide evidence that you are within your rights to sell gated products, such as three invoices from authorized distributors and compliance certifications.
- It is important to stay up-to-date with Amazon’s guidelines for selling gated products.
- Create a compliance knowledgebase and regularly inspect your products, documents, and listings.
- Keep a record of all your communication with Amazon and submit all applications via Amazon Seller Central.
- Enlist the services of reliable Amazon consultants to help with ungating projects.
- Use effective tools for Amazon sellers like BuyBoxBuddy to help boost efficiency, make data-driven decisions, sustain your competitive edge, and automate tasks.
