You say unable to list any?
Have you been listing all along for years, and can suddenly not list at all?
Or is it just several titles that are blocked?

There are dozens of posts about publishers blocking sellers and it's not just books.
More and more brands are taking control of their own destiny on here. Unless you are authorized by the publishers or brands many sellers are being blocked entirely.
Amazon has allowed the site to be invaded by countless thousands of unauthorized sellers over the past couple decades. Amazon, to excise the disease (unauthorized sellers), is simply killing all the sellers other than whoever the BRANDS are going to favor with letters of authorization.
Expect more of this and it is partly a result of the new laws that have stripped Amazon and other sites of what they had perceived as protection from penalties for allowing counterfeit/stolen merchandise on the site.
Those restrictions will include both RA, Gray market sales, and even used sales in the future because there is no proof of authenticity or chain of custody for either version of those sales models.
Amazon is cleaning house and a lot of people selling currently are likely to be swept out the door going forward.

I just went thru the whole process of creating a seller account. wanted to be an individual, chose it, it still made me sign for professional for now. THEN it tells me i cant list my book because its refurbished. It is brand new, sent to me from a printer in bulk. Is it true I cannot sell a new book on here if its not "individually wrapped" from the manufacturer? Its the only reason I joined.
