Ungating Tips
Ungating Tips for Amazon Sellers
Many sellers experience challenges with getting ungated on Amazon. To navigate this, consider the following strategies and resources:
Note: Some brands may be "restricted" especially if we are in Q4. When a brand is "restricted", sellers are unable to apply to sell on them unless they are already ungated in that brand. If you are already ungated in a brand and one day you notice you are unable to sell that brands product, you have likely been re-gated and will need to apply to sell again or wait for the listing to open back up from being restricted.
Recommended Retailers for Sourcing Products: To improve your chances of getting ungated, source your products from these reputable retailers:
