If you’re a new seller, it can be overwhelming to hear terms such as “ungating” or “restricted categories”. Sometimes, all you need to know is, what categories can I sell in, as a new seller.
Here’s a list of categories open to all sellers.
Try to focus on those categories first, before getting exploring other categories that are gated for new sellers.
I always recommend starting with the groceries categories first, if you’re looking to get ungated. For this, you can use wholesalers/distributors such as Frontier Coop, Weiners Ltd, or Webstaurantstore.com.
We did an in dept live zoom call on how to get ungated, you can view the entire video here.
If you’re brand new and getting overwhelmed, the good news is, you can get auto-approval for certain categories, after a good selling history with Amazon.
Here are the steps:
- First, login to your Seller Central account.
- Once you’re on your homepage, click on the ‘Inventory’ tab located near the top-left of the screen.
- Next, from the dropdown, select ‘Add a Product’.
- From there, find the item you want to sell. I usually just put in the ASIN
- To find the ASIN, go up to the URL:
-
- Then, copy and paste the ASIN to find that product
- Then, click on “Apply to sell”
- Finally, either you’ll be able to click the ‘Request Approval’ button to begin the application process, or you’ll receive a notification saying you are not approved and that applications aren’t being accepted.
