How can I reinstate these listings? I have invoices but not authorization letter. I am buying from an authorized distributor.
Experienced sellers please advise.

Yes, with a proper company setup. Do you think the account could be reinstated using an authorized distributor invoice or through an appeal?
No, there’s nothing you can do. I’m going through the same issue with brands like Funko, Mattel, Clinique, etc.
