Your Amazon listings in Amazon.ca are subject to additional approval requirements

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

Experienced sellers please advise.

Hello,

Effective 2024-10-26, you will not be able to list the affected products, and your listings will be removed. This action does not impact your account health.

How can I reinstate my listings?

You are not approved to list BROTHER products and we are currently not accepting applications.

Were your listings removed as a result of an error?

If you believe your products have been misclassified within a certain category or sub-category that requires approval, please contact Selling Partner Support with evidence, such as product pictures, to support this claim. Amazon will review your claim and make a final determination that will ensure the best shopping experience for our customers.

What happens if I do not take action?

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.
