ADVICE

Start with Open Categories

  • Start selling on Amazon in open categories to avoid initial gating restrictions.
  • These include categories like tools, home improvement, toys, games, and more.
INSIGHT

Subcategory Gating

  • Not every subcategory or brand within an open category is automatically accessible.
  • Amazon uses gating to control product quality and protect its brand and customers.
ADVICE

Request Approval Widely

  • Request approval for every brand or subcategory, even if you don't plan to sell it initially.
  • You might get ungated surprisingly easily, which opens future opportunities.
