Check out this blog post we did last year: Not Approved for Grocery, Health & Beauty, or Jewelry on Amazon? Marketplace Valet can help
<video transcription>
If you’re planning on expanding your business to Amazon to sell products in the grocery, health and beauty, or jewelry category, you may encounter some difficulty.
Known as Amazon Gating, these categories require special approval – or ungating – before you’re allowed to sell on Amazon.
Most of the time, you’ll be rejected or denied for reasons that will frustrate you. And that’s where we come in.
Our Marketplace Valet service includes the use of our ungated accounts to sell your products. We can also help you recover from an account suspension.
SUSPENDED ACCOUNT
Having your account suspended can be incredibly stressful.
If you’ve received a suspension message, it’s probably due to one of these three reasons:
UNHAPPY CUSTOMERS
Have you had issues with shipping items on time?
Do you have customers complaining about product quality?
If you leave enough of your customers unhappy, that can definitely get your account suspended.
SELLING BANNED PRODUCTS
You could also be – unknowingly – selling a banned product.
It’s important to note that a banned product isn’t necessarily an illegal one.
There are plenty of products out there that are legal, but you may not have permission to sell.
You could even be selling something illegally because you don’t have reseller permission.
SPECIFIC POLICY VIOLATION
This is one of the most common reasons why an account gets suspended.
Ignoring terms and conditions can cause a lot of trouble for your seller account.
Before you sign up to sell anything on a website, make sure you spend some time reading their terms and conditions.
AVOIDING SUSPENSION
The simplest way to avoid an account suspension is to learn all the rules about product listings and advertisements.
Also, popular websites change their terms and conditions frequently. Don’t get caught off guard because you didn’t read their new policy changes.
