How do i find a list of unrestricted categories/subcategories
the category I'm interested in seems to have every product restricted and requires an application. This category has an extensive amount of 100's & 100's of subcategories. I want to start out simple as a first time seller to learn the business and how to navigate thru selling on amazon. That being said is there a way to find which subcategories don't require an application to sell within a category without having to go thru 1000's of keywords/products to find out?

Hi @Sticks_n_Bones_,
Thanks for the post and hope you had a good weekend.
For existing products, you can see if approval is required by searching for the product you want to list in Add a Product. Click Show limitations to view which approvals are required.
For new products, we recommend searching for similar products in Add a Product. Selling restrictions present for existing products similar to yours are likely to be present when you create your listing.
If you tried to add your products via a feed and received a listing error, use Add a product to view the approval requirements for the ASIN that returned the error.
Selling restrictions are either placed on individual products or groups of similar products (such as products belonging to the same brand).
Selling restrictions may be placed on the following attributes:
Individual ASINs
Brands
Brands within a specific category
Categories
Sub-categories
Some products may have overlapping selling restrictions that will require you to submit separate applications to become approved to sell a single product.
Best regards,
Rose_Amazon
