# 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.*

**Steps for Handling Declined Applications:** If your application is continuously declined, take the following steps:

1. **Documentation:** Gather a screenshot of the tracking number from UPS or USPS, and a photo of the items purchased.
2. **Invoice Accuracy:** Make sure to re-name the Invoice PDF before uploading to "*Brand Name*\_Invoice".
3. **Detailed Explanation:** Write a comprehensive description explaining the legitimacy of your invoice. Avoid brief explanations; detail is crucial to demonstrate authenticity.

**Direct Contact:** If responses seem automated and you’re not engaging with a human, submit a manual ticket through Amazon's help center:
