"You need approval to list this ASIN" - I am Desperate For Help
I have 5 listings which are currently active and selling on Amazon.com but when i try to edit the listings, create shipping labels, add a new product, etc it tells me
"you need approval to list this ASIN"
When i click the "Request Approval" button, it tells me "we are currently not accepting applications to sell."
It has been like this for 3-4 weeks now...
I have reached out to Amazon support with multiple calls and emails but they have not been able to assist me and just tell me to wait.
I kindly ask for some help! My account health is strong, no violations/issues, etc. Please let me know what I can do to fix this problem!
Thank you kindly!!!

Be happy that your account is not (yet) deactivated. I strongly suppose that YOU are not the brand owner of one of those "Primal" supplement brands.
Some are sold by Amazon, some by the brand. Delete your listings and pray that the AI will not catch you in one year.
To sell such brands you need a "Letter of Authorization" from the brand owner allowing you to sell on Amazon. Since they sell themselves, they won't give permission to any 3rd-party seller.

Hello @Seller_uJiCMVAV5lJG4,
Thanks for posting to the Forums. Amazon requires approval to sell in many categories, brands, and products and in some instances restrictions and policies change. While you may have been approved in the past, as the Amazon catalog grows, we continuously make new determinations on which products should be restricted, which is based on a number of factors. Amazon does this to ensure authenticity and customer satisfaction.
For this reason, you may be required to gain approval to sell certain products. In most situations, a direct invoice from the manufacturer is required.
A letter of authorization (LOA) can also be a valuable addition to your appeal in these situations if you’re sourcing directly from the brand or their manufacturer.
You will find more details about this using the resources below:
