Hi, I just want to say thank you. I got approved to sell in otc category today. The cost is way lower than what I planned to do. I saw other people advice before but your video is straight to the point and you made it very easy for me who has short attention span :).
@@NekaNeek I’d look up the fda list first and found any product on Amazon that match the description of the ones in the list. I’d pick the one with lowest cost.
No problem! Keep in mind this is just showing the PROCESS and you must make sure the product and the orange book MATCH. Some others had some anger/confusion about that 😊
When I first started on FBA, that was the good old days of retail arbitrage, you could sell any brands. But it did start charging when I was pulling back from selling on AMZ. I started to get hit with all these cease and desist letters from companies whose products I was selling. I sent them a cease and desist letter back because I was only selling 2 or 3 of their items. But I haven’t sold on AMZ in years ( they did me really dirty and I lost a lot of $$) I’m thinking about trying it again.
I agree, more and more brands don’t want third part sellers selling their protects because they want to protect the quality. I can’t dispute that decision. However, we have so much software now that can safeguard us and reduce that level of risk in receiving a cease and desist letter. Get back in the game! There’s a lot of pivoting, but the hard work DOES pay off!
WOW love video i had to subscribe. i live in Austraila and i dont know if harder here than the USA. Well Joe i purchased 50 units of my product and it cost me $900 AUD. I filled out my listing in seller central desriptions headings, bullet poins, shipping etc. Once i finished listing i then clicked to amazon to sell. Next day i got message saying i cannot sell. i had all safety standards testing etc. if you can if have could you do a video on Baby bathtub product.
Thank you so much for this advice. I have done it for multiple brands! I greatly appreciate it! Would it work for purchases from third party sellers as well? Im looking at a brand that amazon themselves are not selling
Hi, Great Video! Loved the content. Just a quick question, does this method work if I want to get ungated in Big Brand names as well? Such as Nike, Lego or Dove? So basically I do not have to go to some other distributer website such as Eastbay? I can simply do this from an amazon business account (given it is not prime) and submit that invoice?
Hi! Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been reselling new with tag designer handbags, wallets etc such as Kate spade, Coach and Tory Burch. Will this work for them as well if I purchase 10 through Amazon? Thanks so much!
How does this method work if i am based in the UK and want to sell in US? I purchsed my inventory and i need to be ungated in creams & lotions category.
I followed your directions exactly, and I cannot find a matching FDA. I bought exactly the same Tylenol and nothing I seem to find matches. Can you help me? In the video, the FDA code you clicked on was not the same as the product. The product is for 500 mg yet there are no 500mg products listed. You even clicked on the 650mg product in the video. I followed this exactly and was denied. They stated incorrect FDA registration.
The video isn’t about buying THAT exact Tylenol. It’s to teach you the process of getting a product that you can find that DOES match the orange book exactly.
@@ProfitGuru1 You need to understand that the people who are watching your videos are most likely new to this process and when you walk them through step by step how to do something, they are going to follow in your footsteps thinking that they'll do it exactly as you did so that they do it right, given it may be their first time trying to get ungated. Expert sellers are not likely watching these videos. I realize that you are doing this to get views and make money, but try to be more clear and accurate in your videos in the future. This cost me time and money on a product that DOES NOT WORK to get me ungated. You made it look like everything was in sync, when in fact they were not.
Thank you for this informative video, very helpful. I am a new seller from Canada and every single thing is restricted for me at this time. Can I order any item from Amazon to get ungated? Thanks.
Hi! Thanks for the great information 😊 I can’t wait to try it out! After you purchase the 10 items are you able then to resell them to recoup the cost?
@ProfitGuru1 can u advise with a shipping address? I am not in US physically and in order to take photos I need to send products to the different address, than mentioned in my seller account. Can it be an issue? What would u advise? Thx
Hello. I use my business account Prime. I saw that you are not using prime membership. Does being Prime cause problems when opening the invoice of the products I purchased? Why not use Prime?
Hello, Cassondra. Thank you for all your great videos. They're very informative, and not trying to push a multi $1,000 class, LOL. We started our business 3-4 weeks ago, we're still just learning at this point. After watching this video, I hope we'll get ungated in a few categories. I just ordered 10 units in a few categories last night. Already received 1 order today, but it didn't work out. It's a sponge for fish tanks, it was VERY cheap, .78 per filter. However, it's flagged as a pesticide? No big deal, I'm in for
Hi Cassandra, what do you mean by your personal and business? do you mean your seller account? or do you need to create a new amazon business account to purchase?
Yes the business account would have its own separate email. So you’d create a new account and make sure it’s a business account. Just google “Amazon business account” and the first link should bring you to the sign up.
It’s not the selling account. Most people have a regular Prime account they buy products from on Amazon for their personal use… but you can create a new account in your settings and open up a business account for purchasing on Amazon! Just make sure the info matches what’s in your Amazon seller central account for name, address, etc 😊
hi, they don't let me buy more than 8 units per item in the online store. Can I buy 2 different products from the same brand and get rid of 2 products (8+2=10)?
Hello 👋 madam thank you so much for best video I have a question If I ungated a brand, am I required to purchase the product from the manufacturer or distributor later or can I purchase it from a wholesale market and sell it to that brand? Will Amazon require me to invoice again?
Thank you for this video. In "Document must meet the following requirements", now amazon added 😖: If providing an Amazon Invoice or Order confirmation please show a combined and fulfilled purchase of at least 50 units. For all other invoices show the combined and fulfilled purchase of at least 10 units. Which other store allows purchasing only 10 units to unlock an Amazon account (non-LLC)?
Hi Cassondra what if you have a product that has a specific brand on it, but it's not selling on Amazon as that brand, and there are others that are the same item under a private label? Can you start a new listing then, since it's a different brand?
As long as you’re ungated in that brand, you should be able to. You might run into an issue listing it with the barcode if the other users have already used the same barcode. But you can always give it a shot. That’s why they might have listed it in another way.. because the original barcode might already be used on a listing
Hello, Followed through your video to ungate in OTC which was very clear and good. I bought Benadryl Allergy Liquigels 24caps 25mg. Can not find it in the Orange Book. When I search Benadryl only get a couple of results which seems odd and all are discontinued. Did I pick the wrong product?
I start in the orange book first! Find a product and then go to amazon on my business and account and see if Amazon.com is a seller of it. Not all products are in the orange book. Always check the product IS there before ordering .
@@ProfitGuru1 As long as you can find the NDC (which should be listed on the product) you will be able to find and send in a screenshot from the FDA site. I had to do this for the 500mg Tylenol that was not listed in the Orange Book.
I'll be honest with you, getting ungated is impossible! This process with Amazon is so subjective. I am sure it does not help these people are not States side. So I am sure there is no standard. I have been trying three different times to ungate Starbucks with no luck. I bought the 50 products, did the Amazon invoice (sell by and fullfilled) and NOTHING! I keep getting the nasty gram... "You have provided an online order confirmation file. We are unable to accept retail receipts, online order confirmations, packing slips, sales orders, pro forma invoices, or sales quotes for approval. Provide an invoice from a manufacturer, distributor, or your supplier that reflects the itemized list of goods that you bought". Like someone else said in here, Amazon does not even take their invoices...? I am at a loss, do you have any other suggestions? Thank you...
Do you have many categories ungated right now? Starbucks is a pretty big brand name, and I don’t see Amazon approving new sellers until they’ve proved themselves to be a good seller.
@@ProfitGuru1 I do not. I'm pretty much set with Starbucks. I'll be honest, I was hoping to just focus on selling mugs as I live in an area where the mugs are wanted. eBay is ok, but I feel that people selling on eBay lowball themselves. Not sure if it's on purpose and a $5-10 profit is sufficient for them. Amazon, with the right mug, would provide a better profit margin than that. My friend got in a few years ago when Amazon/Starbucks was not so impossible to get un-gated. Anyways, do you think that using the other vendor online (Bulk Supply Office) options invoices (just buying 10 items) might be better idea?
@@ProfitGuru1 hey so I just submitted a kohls packing slip cause I see everyone say this works for adidas, I got rid of the word receipt and it literally looks like an invoice, what do I do, this is the 4th time they declined me
Anyone successful in Dec 2023? Name and address of manufacturer or distributor is required but not listed on AMZ Order Summary. I have been denied, for another category, was told that email confirmations were not acceptable and documentation must state invoice.
What if you can’t find the product on orange book? But the brand has other listed products with the same active ingredient? Should I choose my otc product based on what is listed on orange book?
Hello so you have to order the products not on your Amazon seller account but on a different account? Also after you get approval, do you have to repeat this process for a manufacturer or distributor you find where you can buy the same product at wholesale price?
Order through your business account, not your personal account. You might have to repeat for a different brand.. but you won’t have to repeat for the same brand again unless Amazon regates you ( sometimes they will regate a brand you were previously ungated in)
Good evening, Cassondra. I have used this to get ungated a few times now. When I get ungated for a brand in a category, am I also ungated in the category? I guess I would have to be, but just wanted to make sure. I know being ungated in a category doesn't mean I'm ungated for every brand in a category, but just checking about the other way around. Now that I'm typing this out in a question, it only make sense I would be ungated in the category if ungated in a product in the category. 😀
@@ProfitGuru1 Thank you, Cassondra. When I go to Selling Application Status, and click on "Approved" tab, I can, of course, all for which I am approved. When I click on the "Category" tab, it's not showing approved in any category. I've been buying lots of 10 for various categories. Each of the approved applications is for a different category. Shouldn't the categories also show approved in the categories tab? Maybe I'm thinking about this too much, LOL.
Thank you for all the information! However, my business account was created linked with my personal account and I just can not switch to business and buy. I tried to separe but it seems its not possible. Could you please give some advice?
When logged in to the personal prime account, go to the top right corner and click your name, then from the drop down you should see it say switch account. Then switch to the business one.
Ok so to be clear as I'm still confused on which acct to buy from. I have a regular (personal) acct. That I could turn into a business acct bc AMZ sends me those emails. Then I have my seller central acct...now am I supposed to tien my personal acct into a business one & then go & order 10 of whatever & use the invoice in my seller central acct to get ungated...provided this method still works?!?! Don't mean to sound silly but whenever I ask this in discord groups, FB, etc ? people like to go on a wild tandem explaining everything but its never the meat of what I'm needing lol. Thanks in advance!
Well you don’t turn your personal account into a business one. You still have a personal account, but in the settings you ADD ON a business account. So they’re technically two separate accounts, two separate log ins.. but they’re both associated to you. So yes keep the personal .. and yes sign up for a business account, order the products through the business account.
For the actually ungating that I did previously I used ibuprofen 600 and found the match in the orange book with the dosage and submitted that. There are several that will work. Just be sure the brand and dosage match the orange book.
Hi Cassondra! Great video! I had purchased the item Tylenol Extra Strength Caplets with 500 mg Acetaminophen, but I can not locate this item in the FDA website to get the screenshot. Can you please point me in the right direction?
@@ProfitGuru1 I appreciate the response but I cancelled my order. I could not find that item on the FDA website. But I came across your video on ungating 3 categories with 1 invoice. You have good content. One love.
Hello again, Cassondra. I requested something to be ungated that I wasn't sure if private label. It's a little confusing looking at the name of the store and the sellers (only a couple). I was approved. Does that mean it's not private label? Would Amazon approve me, by mistake, to sell a private label?
Just because Amazon approves a brand, does NOT mean the brand will allow you to sell their products (I know, that’s confusing). Check the historical sellers .. if there’s never more than 1-3 sellers on the listing then it’s probably an ip if you jump on the listing.
You have to submit a detailed invoice from the supplier that has all of your info PLUS all of their info. Some people get lucky using receipts or invoices that aren’t detailed .. but it’s a gamble. You can fix what they want and submit it again .. or you can attempt to resubmit what you already have and hope someone clicks approve.
Great video thanks. Got a question though, so I want to ungate for OTC but want to sell a certain product that is gated can I still ungate that product by buying the 10 Tylenol ? They’re same category ofc
@@ProfitGuru1 I see, so submitting the application with tylenol product can ungate you to sell advil as long as is being submitted for advil application per say
Thank you for your time and help. Do you have any information about Transparency codes and how (or if) they need to be added to products bought at retailers? Also, did you have Kohl's send you a receipt to your email and you used that as an invoice? thanks again!
Some brands will require transparency codes. You’ll have to input the unique set of letters/numbers on each unit to prove their authenticity. The PG chrome extension warns you if items require the transparency code. Yes I used the receipt kohls emailed to me after my purchase and it was approved. That was last year. But Amazon can always change their minds what they do and don’t accept.
First, thank you for the making the video. Question, you state that you must make the purchase from a "amazon business" account, can I not make the purchase under the same account as my amazon seller account? I want to make sure I do this right so I have the best chance of getting ungated for a particular brand of products.
Thanks for the insight.. However, using your example... this accounts for tylenol 500mg,and there's no current orange book entry to reflect that. I only came across the 650 mg. Does it matter? Will it apply to the product I'm using to ungate OTC even though the milligrams fro mthe bottle and FDA OB are different? Any advise on this?
I was rejected, Amazon argued that the product submitted doesn’t match the Orange Book description, the only one difference was 600 mg. instead of 500 mg. Does anybody think, that it could be the reason?
AMAZON: File name: FDA Registration -- The registration type does not match the product for which you are applying to sell. Please provide an FDA Registration appropriate for the type of product you are applying to sell. Everything match except the 500 mg. I submitted instead of 600 mg. on Orange Book.
The business account is for making business purchases. A lot of listings will give extra incentives and bulk pricing on products when you’re using a business account. Where as your seller account is for listing and selling products.
Can we use same Amazon account for buying that we use for selling? On the same email? Someone said it can lead to account suspension. Also, when we purchase from Amazon Business account, does Amazon charges sales tax? Or can we become tax exempt?
@@johnyhawkahsan You can use your personal account for buying and selling. Not sure why that would be an issue. You just cannot have TWO Amazon Seller Central Accounts and I would not have two Personal Amazon accounts (to be on the safe side). Amazon charged me tax on my Business order. They are legally required to charge taxes. I would recommend becoming tax emempt as you dont want to pay taxes on items you are actually selling to the public. For the purpose of ungating, pay taxes and pay shipping. Tax exemption is for buying products from a Distributor/wholesaler for products you are reselling to the public. Anything you buy on the Business account should be for business use only (i.e. paper, pens, supplies, etc).
They’re YOURS? As in, you own the brand name? You’ll just want to register for brand approval or brand registry through Amazon. Brand registry would require a trademark to be submitted. Then you’ll also need to purchase GS1 barcodes to place on the product.
Hi! Are you sure that Amazon invoice will be allowed to ungate a product/category? They ask for MANUFACTURER/DISTRIBUTOR invoice, but not Amazon definitely. And, one more question - what would you do if you can see YOUR ACCOUNT DOESN'T QUALIFY? My account is few months old, and I can see that message on many listings/brands and there is nothing to do with that. What would you recommend? Thank you
I personally had success purchasing with an Amazon business account- but they’re always changing their rules, and what works for one person may not the next! Ungating is always a gamble, and you just don’t know what will work until you try it 😊 if you’re not eligible for something you can’t change that- start where you CAN ungate, and as you prove yourself as a good seller you will see more and more open up!
quick question! i have not made one sale, can i attempt to un gate right away or do i have to get my feet wet first before amazon will give me the opportunity? Thank you for the content!!
***DO NOT USE THE TYLENOL IN THIS EXAMPLE*** There should be a disclaimer added to this video...Pinned to the top if you cant add it into the video!!! I wished I had watched it again and read comments before ordering. My order comes in today, but I dont have the correct MG. $17 down the drain and still gated in OTC. There was an opportunitiy to correct this at the end of the video. There was an opportunity to correct this 3 mons ago when someone else advise it was incorrect info. To film one thing, then realise it w/wrong and never correct it isnt right and not doing your viewers any good.
The items do not have to be in the Orange Book but you will need the NDC number and you should be able to find the product on the FDA site. Worked for me getting ungating with Tylenol 500 MG
What if we dont have a Business account? I just went to create one, and its saying my application is pending. I put in my SSN as "verification" but i dont have a business or a EIN number. Im worried it'll fall through... also, could we return our 10 products after we're ungated since i dont really need them?
I’ve heard of people having success ordering without the business account .. but I only share what I PERSONALLY have experience doing, and in that case it was ordering with the business account. Best practices say do not return the products.
It’s just how I heard about it.. and what I did and it worked. I’ve heard others say they tried it not on a business account and it worked for them. But I shared this method because it’s the one that I used and it worked. 😊
Before anyone runs out and buys Tylenol, like i just did, orange book ONLY has 2 oral and 2 rectal options....neither one being what i purchased... now i have tylenol that i don't even need. Purchased 500mg capsules and 650mg tablets were the only ones in the orange book. Really annoying overall.
As mentioned in the pinned comment and in several of the comments here, this video is to show the strategy. Then you can purchase any med that you find in the orange book to ungate.
So If I want to start selling nike products and If I want to be ungated I will have to go to Nike web purchase any cheap Nike products in quantity of 10 and that will ungate me?
Yes but you have to find an existing listing on Amazon that matches it exactly! I ordered Nike T shirts through kohl’s , and found the listing on Amazon.. and was ungated very quickly.
thanks for the info but from many sellers i heard AtoA ungating is causing problems in the future from the brands and they dont recommend that in long term , what do you think about that?
do you need a subscription for that multi tool? and say if i find a product from a wholesaler that sells bulk brand stuff and get a invoice of that how will i get approved if i cant buy 10 pcs and can only buy a MOQ of say 200?
Multi tool was free, but someone say it’s paid now?? I downloaded it early on so I got it for free. If it’s a supplier that Amazon accepts their invoice then you’ll be approved as long as you have a minimum of 10.
I went through the steps here using the packing slip from my shipment and I've been rejected twice. I'm trying to ungate Neutrogena. "Hello Seller, Thank you for your application to sell Neutrogena products. We have reviewed the documentation you provided and determined that it does not meet our requirements for the following reasons: Invoice: -- You have provided an unacceptable document. Please note that we are unable to accept retail receipts, online order confirmations, packing slips, sales orders, pro-forma invoices, or sales quotes for approval. To proceed, please provide an invoice from a manufacturer or distributor reflecting the itemized list of goods purchased and the terms of sale." The second time the same person just closed the ticket because I did not submit new documentation.
Take a screen shot of the email order confirmation. That’s what I used. Also upload a picture of the front of all ten, and the back side with the ingredients.
It DOES matter. This video shows you the process to take, not necessarily exactly what to get. Just as mentioned in the video, make the orange book and the product match EXACTLY.
What about if you want to sell second hand books, but you're only allowed to sell new ones and you can't just apply for it because they say it's blocked?
If you try and ungate somethings and applications aren't being accepted for that category at that time, there isn't a way around that. Start where you can get ungated, and work from there. Step in where you can, and over time you'll start to see more and more become available!
Thank you Cassondra. I have some questions please. I just start my amazon seller account and I have my own product with my own brand name and i want to sell it in the Grocery and Gourmet category. I managed to get gtin exemption for my product but they asked me to get an approval to sell in that category, and i couldn't get it. What I'm doing wrong? What are the steps that I have to take? Again thank you
Find a product in grocery and gourmet foods that you can purchase from the wholesale frontier co-op. Order at least 10, and use it to ungate the category.
Use it as it lasts. I’ve used it to ungate OTC and grocery. I bought 10 canned corn for $7.90 and got approved. This is the cheapest and easiest way to get ungate.
Yeah they can be purchased from anywhere that Amazon will accept an invoice from (you never know what they’ll accept until you try, they change on the daily!)
I only get options for free shipping . It’s an Amazon business prime account I have done multiple items now and I cannot select a non-prime shipping option at all for these items. Any ideas?
Hello, thanks for the video. I tried a couple a of brands and when I try to apply to sell it says "your account does not qualify", do you know why and how do i solve this? thank you
@@ProfitGuru1 thanks for the heads up, i tried some other brand and some allows me, just need me to provide a purchase invoice and a letter of authorisation, i went on and email the brand hopefully they can provide me with the letter. my account is new i been only selling for 6 months and mainly my own private label products. i learned about wholesale recently and wanted to give it a go, just wondering with your experience do you know how well i need to perform to let Amazon to sell those locked brand? if i am able to get a letter of authorisation from those locked brand do you know Amazon will give me a green light to resell? thanks
People have had their invoices rejected when ordering through Prime.. but for some reason Amazon accepts the invoice if it’s not prime .. it’s just part of the game 🤷♀️
Yes. If you find one that is profitable to ungate with, great! But lots of times they’re not profitable, but they do open up the door to now selling that that category/brand and making money!
As long as the brand is accepting applications! Nothing is ever a guarantee when ungating- Amazon plays by their own rules. But I’ve had success personally with this method.
I just watched your video which is very interesting for unlocking marks, but I have a question. Do you have any problem with Amazon invoices for the 10 units purchased, to then send them to Amazon to unlock the brand in question. Doesn't this pose a problem knowing that the invoices come from Amazon? Thank you,
I bought excedrin on Amazon, qty of 10, Attached the fda doc, attached copy of the Amazon online order. I got denied, said it isn't an invoice. I waited a day and tried again. Denied again, same reason, it isn't an invoice. I just did it again. Keeping fingers crossed!! Are they not accepting trying to ungate like this anymore?
Amazon is SO black and white!! There are no clear guidelines to what they do and don’t accept.. and what they accept for one seller, they might not for another. Ungating is one of the biggest struggles as a seller because there’s no sure fire way to do it.
I watched your video today that posted yesterday, you with 2 guys. It was great! You made a comment how you got ungated & someone tried it the same way but it didn't work for them..... I'll keep trying and trying till it works!!!
I don't understand why so many people are getting upset at the creator of this video. The easiest way to get ungated if people can not accomplish the tasks in this video is have major sales on Amazon and Amazon will ungated you no questions asked.
Some are upset that I just showed the PROCESS,and didn’t tell them an EXACT product and orange book to make it extra easy- so they didn’t have to do any of their own research. I clearly stated several times that whatever you choose has to match the orange book dosage and form exactly- but some chose not to do that, order a product that didn’t match the orange book, and come back as keyboard warriors 😇
@@ProfitGuru1 Keep up the good work it has taken me 3 years to finally get ungated in 90% of products on Amazon minus the private brands. The more revenue you sell the more that unlocks for you. I never had to request to get ungated in otc one day it just was available. Getting ungated is half the battle the 2nd half is every body wants to send you a letter saying they will sue you if you don't stop selling their products witch is ridiculous. I'm very proud of what I have accomplished so far if people would put in the work Amazon is an amazing money maker way superior to anything else out there. I do 3 times more revenue on Amazon then ebay
@@ta1000 That's awesome! And you're so right.. start selling where you're ALREADY autoungated.. and eventually as you prove yourself more and more will autoungate!
Hi, I’m confused about the switching account. I have a seller central account and then my personal. What should I do? Also can I buy everything from Amazon to get ungated?
You’ll create a new one- business account! Google “Amazon business account” you’ll see the link come right up to sign up for one. Yes many sellers use it over and over to get ungated in different brands and categories- is it GUARANTEED to work? No, nothing ever is on Amazon. But both me and my friends have been approved many times doing this.
It’s hard to say exactly because it’s different for everyone! The best advice is to request approval for AS MANY brands as you can!! You’ll get a lot of applications that pop up (which you’ll have to provide an invoice to take that route) but you’ll also start to see more and more auto approvals the more that you request and the more that you actually start selling. Prove to amazon you’re a good seller and they start ungating automatically more and more. So request approvals as much as possible, and once you find things ungated, start selling them to prove you’re a good seller.

So basically I do not have to go to some other distributer website such as Eastbay? I can simply do this from an amazon business account (given it is not prime) and submit that invoice?
Did you ever figure this out? I resell Kate spade, Coach etc and was wondering the same thing
Hi! Thank you so much for this video. I’ve been reselling new with tag designer handbags, wallets etc such as Kate spade, Coach and Tory Burch. Will this work for them as well if I purchase 10 through Amazon? Thanks so much!
Thank you so much for shared that great information with us.
How does this method work if i am based in the UK and want to sell in US? I purchsed my inventory and i need to be ungated in creams & lotions category.
I followed your directions exactly, and I cannot find a matching FDA. I bought exactly the same Tylenol and nothing I seem to find matches. Can you help me? In the video, the FDA code you clicked on was not the same as the product. The product is for 500 mg yet there are no 500mg products listed. You even clicked on the 650mg product in the video. I followed this exactly and was denied. They stated incorrect FDA registration.
The video isn’t about buying THAT exact Tylenol. It’s to teach you the process of getting a product that you can find that DOES match the orange book exactly.
@@ProfitGuru1 You need to understand that the people who are watching your videos are most likely new to this process and when you walk them through step by step how to do something, they are going to follow in your footsteps thinking that they'll do it exactly as you did so that they do it right, given it may be their first time trying to get ungated. Expert sellers are not likely watching these videos. I realize that you are doing this to get views and make money, but try to be more clear and accurate in your videos in the future. This cost me time and money on a product that DOES NOT WORK to get me ungated. You made it look like everything was in sync, when in fact they were not.
Thank you for this informative video, very helpful. I am a new seller from Canada and every single thing is restricted for me at this time. Can I order any item from Amazon to get ungated? Thanks.
Hi! Thanks for the great information 😊 I can’t wait to try it out! After you purchase the 10 items are you able then to resell them to recoup the cost?
Yes once you’re approved you can list and send in to sell.
@ProfitGuru1 can u advise with a shipping address? I am not in US physically and in order to take photos I need to send products to the different address, than mentioned in my seller account. Can it be an issue? What would u advise? Thx
Hello. I use my business account Prime. I saw that you are not using prime membership. Does being Prime cause problems when opening the invoice of the products I purchased? Why not use Prime?
I’m not sure why using Prime doesn’t work. But I always use not prime, and it’s worked for me.
@@ProfitGuru1 If I buy it with Prime, won't Amazon accept the invoice?
Thanks for the info. What would you do if you can't find the exact product in the Orange Book? Even in the video you couldn't find the 500mg Tylenol.
I used the ibuprofen to ungate. Don’t purchase the product unless you’re able to find it in the orange book first.
Hi. Do I need to get ungated from Adidas ? Buy 10 Adidas product take pic of all 10 and inventory receipt ?
Yes! Kohls invoice worked for me recently! East Bay is good too.
Would this worth the same way if I purchased from the manufacturers Amazon listing? Like if Tylenol has a listing and I choose their buy box variation
Hello, Cassondra. Thank you for all your great videos. They're very informative, and not trying to push a multi $1,000 class, LOL. We started our business 3-4 weeks ago, we're still just learning at this point. After watching this video, I hope we'll get ungated in a few categories. I just ordered 10 units in a few categories last night. Already received 1 order today, but it didn't work out. It's a sponge for fish tanks, it was VERY cheap, .78 per filter. However, it's flagged as a pesticide? No big deal, I'm in for
Technically the answer to that question is no, you don’t have to sell what you use to ungate. 😊
And thanks so much for watching my videos! I’m so glad you’re finding them helpful! 🥰
Hi Cassandra, what do you mean by your personal and business? do you mean your seller account? or do you need to create a new amazon business account to purchase?
Yes the business account would have its own separate email. So you’d create a new account and make sure it’s a business account. Just google “Amazon business account” and the first link should bring you to the sign up.
@@ProfitGuru1 the business account must not be prime right? or does it not matter? whats the procedure in that case?
@@sayednkhiam9340 Correct- don't select prime shipping.
@@ProfitGuru1 so its just the shipping that must not be prime or the entire account?
Hi,
Super helpful informative video. Thank you for helping 🙂
When you say to purchase from business account, is that your account that you use for selling on Amazon or a separate business account?
It’s not the selling account. Most people have a regular Prime account they buy products from on Amazon for their personal use… but you can create a new account in your settings and open up a business account for purchasing on Amazon! Just make sure the info matches what’s in your Amazon seller central account for name, address, etc 😊
hi, they don't let me buy more than 8 units per item in the online store. Can I buy 2 different products from the same brand and get rid of 2 products (8+2=10)?
Yes, I’ve known people to do that.. as long as it’s the same brand!
Hello 👋 madam thank you so much for best video I have a question
If I ungated a brand, am I required to purchase the product from the manufacturer or distributor later or can I purchase it from a wholesale market and sell it to that brand? Will Amazon require me to invoice again?
Thank you for this video. In "Document must meet the following requirements", now amazon added 😖:
If providing an Amazon Invoice or Order confirmation please show a combined and fulfilled purchase of at least 50 units. For all other invoices show the combined and fulfilled purchase of at least 10 units.
Which other store allows purchasing only 10 units to unlock an Amazon account (non-LLC)?
hey man did you order from a third party brand or amazon as the seller did it ever work out for yah?
Cassondra, Thank you. Do you have the free business account connected to your prime?
You log into your prime account and from there you open up a new business account 😊
Hi Cassondra what if you have a product that has a specific brand on it, but it's not selling on Amazon as that brand, and there are others that are the same item under a private label? Can you start a new listing then, since it's a different brand?
As long as you’re ungated in that brand, you should be able to. You might run into an issue listing it with the barcode if the other users have already used the same barcode. But you can always give it a shot. That’s why they might have listed it in another way.. because the original barcode might already be used on a listing
Hello, Followed through your video to ungate in OTC which was very clear and good. I bought Benadryl Allergy Liquigels 24caps 25mg. Can not find it in the Orange Book. When I search Benadryl only get a couple of results which seems odd and all are discontinued. Did I pick the wrong product?
I start in the orange book first! Find a product and then go to amazon on my business and account and see if Amazon.com is a seller of it. Not all products are in the orange book. Always check the product IS there before ordering .
@@ProfitGuru1 As long as you can find the NDC (which should be listed on the product) you will be able to find and send in a screenshot from the FDA site. I had to do this for the 500mg Tylenol that was not listed in the Orange Book.
I'll be honest with you, getting ungated is impossible! This process with Amazon is so subjective. I am sure it does not help these people are not States side. So I am sure there is no standard. I have been trying three different times to ungate Starbucks with no luck. I bought the 50 products, did the Amazon invoice (sell by and fullfilled) and NOTHING! I keep getting the nasty gram...
"You have provided an online order confirmation file. We are unable to accept retail receipts, online order confirmations, packing slips, sales orders, pro forma invoices, or sales quotes for approval. Provide an invoice from a manufacturer, distributor, or your supplier that reflects the itemized list of goods that you bought".
Like someone else said in here, Amazon does not even take their invoices...? I am at a loss, do you have any other suggestions? Thank you...
Do you have many categories ungated right now? Starbucks is a pretty big brand name, and I don’t see Amazon approving new sellers until they’ve proved themselves to be a good seller.
@@ProfitGuru1 I do not. I'm pretty much set with Starbucks. I'll be honest, I was hoping to just focus on selling mugs as I live in an area where the mugs are wanted. eBay is ok, but I feel that people selling on eBay lowball themselves. Not sure if it's on purpose and a $5-10 profit is sufficient for them. Amazon, with the right mug, would provide a better profit margin than that. My friend got in a few years ago when Amazon/Starbucks was not so impossible to get un-gated. Anyways, do you think that using the other vendor online (Bulk Supply Office) options invoices (just buying 10 items) might be better idea?
Hello, very helpful video, but it’s as easy as just ordering said product from Amazon on a business account, Amazon gives an invoice?
I screen shot the order confirmation they send to my email and submit that with the application.
@@ProfitGuru1 hey so I just submitted a kohls packing slip cause I see everyone say this works for adidas, I got rid of the word receipt and it literally looks like an invoice, what do I do, this is the 4th time they declined me
Anyone successful in Dec 2023? Name and address of manufacturer or distributor is required but not listed on AMZ Order Summary. I have been denied, for another category, was told that email confirmations were not acceptable and documentation must state invoice.
What if you can’t find the product on orange book? But the brand has other listed products with the same active ingredient? Should I choose my otc product based on what is listed on orange book?
Yes, for ungating purposes you just need to find a product that IS exact in the orange book.
Hello so you have to order the products not on your Amazon seller account but on a different account? Also after you get approval, do you have to repeat this process for a manufacturer or distributor you find where you can buy the same product at wholesale price?
Order through your business account, not your personal account. You might have to repeat for a different brand.. but you won’t have to repeat for the same brand again unless Amazon regates you ( sometimes they will regate a brand you were previously ungated in)
@@ProfitGuru1 why would they do this, is it common?
I can’t find the number for 500mg. Somebody can help me?
Good evening, Cassondra. I have used this to get ungated a few times now. When I get ungated for a brand in a category, am I also ungated in the category? I guess I would have to be, but just wanted to make sure. I know being ungated in a category doesn't mean I'm ungated for every brand in a category, but just checking about the other way around. Now that I'm typing this out in a question, it only make sense I would be ungated in the category if ungated in a product in the category. 😀
Hahaha I love this comment. Yes, you’re correct.. you will be ungated in the category, but not all brands.
@@ProfitGuru1 Thank you, Cassondra. When I go to Selling Application Status, and click on "Approved" tab, I can, of course, all for which I am approved. When I click on the "Category" tab, it's not showing approved in any category. I've been buying lots of 10 for various categories. Each of the approved applications is for a different category. Shouldn't the categories also show approved in the categories tab? Maybe I'm thinking about this too much, LOL.
Very well stepped thru. Thank You Dear.
I’m glad you found it helpful!
Thank you for all the information! However, my business account was created linked with my personal account and I just can not switch to business and buy. I tried to separe but it seems its not possible. Could you please give some advice?
When logged in to the personal prime account, go to the top right corner and click your name, then from the drop down you should see it say switch account. Then switch to the business one.
Ok so to be clear as I'm still confused on which acct to buy from. I have a regular (personal) acct. That I could turn into a business acct bc AMZ sends me those emails. Then I have my seller central acct...now am I supposed to tien my personal acct into a business one & then go & order 10 of whatever & use the invoice in my seller central acct to get ungated...provided this method still works?!?! Don't mean to sound silly but whenever I ask this in discord groups, FB, etc ? people like to go on a wild tandem explaining everything but its never the meat of what I'm needing lol. Thanks in advance!
Well you don’t turn your personal account into a business one. You still have a personal account, but in the settings you ADD ON a business account. So they’re technically two separate accounts, two separate log ins.. but they’re both associated to you. So yes keep the personal .. and yes sign up for a business account, order the products through the business account.
So you can ungate a brand by buying it through amazon and not from the manufacturer themselves? If so that would be very helpful information!
Looks to be what she showed
.. that's crazy
The strength and dosage you have used in the example is not listed on Orange Book. how would you ungate if the Tylenol is not listed ?
For the actually ungating that I did previously I used ibuprofen 600 and found the match in the orange book with the dosage and submitted that. There are several that will work. Just be sure the brand and dosage match the orange book.
Hi Cassondra! Great video! I had purchased the item Tylenol Extra Strength Caplets with 500 mg Acetaminophen, but I can not locate this item in the FDA website to get the screenshot. Can you please point me in the right direction?
I did the ibuprofen to ungate because that was in the orange book.
@@ProfitGuru1 I appreciate the response but I cancelled my order. I could not find that item on the FDA website. But I came across your video on ungating 3 categories with 1 invoice. You have good content. One love.
Wow great info.
Please let us know if amazon accepts amazon. Business Invoices?
what if orange book doesnt have the same medication? cant find tylenol extra strength 500mg anywhere on orange book.😩
I used ibuprofen 500 for my actual ungating.. this video just shows the process to use.
Hello again, Cassondra. I requested something to be ungated that I wasn't sure if private label. It's a little confusing looking at the name of the store and the sellers (only a couple). I was approved. Does that mean it's not private label? Would Amazon approve me, by mistake, to sell a private label?
Just because Amazon approves a brand, does NOT mean the brand will allow you to sell their products (I know, that’s confusing). Check the historical sellers .. if there’s never more than 1-3 sellers on the listing then it’s probably an ip if you jump on the listing.
It did not work for me. Amazon said there was no Phone, Address, e-mail of the Authorized distributer.
You have to submit a detailed invoice from the supplier that has all of your info PLUS all of their info.
Some people get lucky using receipts or invoices that aren’t detailed .. but it’s a gamble. You can fix what they want and submit it again .. or you can attempt to resubmit what you already have and hope someone clicks approve.
Great video thanks. Got a question though, so I want to ungate for OTC but want to sell a certain product that is gated can I still ungate that product by buying the 10 Tylenol ? They’re same category ofc
Yes use the same strategy and submit the application for that product.
@@ProfitGuru1 I see, so submitting the application with tylenol product can ungate you to sell advil as long as is being submitted for advil application per say
Hi!!! I need help getting ungated from calvin Klein. Whats my best option?
Thank you for your time and help. Do you have any information about Transparency codes and how (or if) they need to be added to products bought at retailers? Also, did you have Kohl's send you a receipt to your email and you used that as an invoice? thanks again!
Some brands will require transparency codes. You’ll have to input the unique set of letters/numbers on each unit to prove their authenticity. The PG chrome extension warns you if items require the transparency code.
Yes I used the receipt kohls emailed to me after my purchase and it was approved. That was last year. But Amazon can always change their minds what they do and don’t accept.
Thanks! What is PG? Can I use the extension on my mobile chrome?
First, thank you for the making the video. Question, you state that you must make the purchase from a "amazon business" account, can I not make the purchase under the same account as my amazon seller account? I want to make sure I do this right so I have the best chance of getting ungated for a particular brand of products.
I’ve heard people order both ways and have success getting approved. But me PERSONALLY, I did it with a business account and got ungated.
Thanks for the insight.. However, using your example... this accounts for tylenol 500mg,and there's no current orange book entry to reflect that. I only came across the 650 mg. Does it matter? Will it apply to the product I'm using to ungate OTC even though the milligrams fro mthe bottle and FDA OB are different? Any advise on this?
It does matter!! It has to match exactly. I ended up going with Advil ibuprofen 200 mg coated tablets.
Ohh Josean good question.
Thank God I didn't oder this 500 mg Tylenol lol.
I was rejected, Amazon argued that the product submitted doesn’t match the Orange Book description, the only one difference was 600 mg. instead of 500 mg. Does anybody think, that it could be the reason?
AMAZON:
File name: FDA Registration
-- The registration type does not match the product for which you are applying to sell. Please provide an FDA Registration appropriate for the type of product you are applying to sell.
Everything match except the 500 mg. I submitted instead of 600 mg. on Orange Book.
Yeah don’t do that I followed the product and doc she showed and it got denied go with the exact one it’s requesting
To do the Amazon Business Account Method, do you need to use the same email as your Amazon Professional Seller Account?
Personally I created a separate business email for my business account.
Hello Profit Guru! What is the difference between an Amazon Business Account and an Amazon Seller Account? Thank you!
The business account is for making business purchases. A lot of listings will give extra incentives and bulk pricing on products when you’re using a business account. Where as your seller account is for listing and selling products.
@@ProfitGuru1 Thank you. 🙏
Can we use same Amazon account for buying that we use for selling?
On the same email?
Someone said it can lead to account suspension.
Also, when we purchase from Amazon Business account, does Amazon charges sales tax?
Or can we become tax exempt?
@@johnyhawkahsan You can use your personal account for buying and selling. Not sure why that would be an issue. You just cannot have TWO Amazon Seller Central Accounts and I would not have two Personal Amazon accounts (to be on the safe side). Amazon charged me tax on my Business order. They are legally required to charge taxes. I would recommend becoming tax emempt as you dont want to pay taxes on items you are actually selling to the public. For the purpose of ungating, pay taxes and pay shipping. Tax exemption is for buying products from a Distributor/wholesaler for products you are reselling to the public. Anything you buy on the Business account should be for business use only (i.e. paper, pens, supplies, etc).
I produce, duplicate and package my own instructional/educational DVDs. How do I get ungated to sell them on Amazon FBA?
They’re YOURS? As in, you own the brand name? You’ll just want to register for brand approval or brand registry through Amazon. Brand registry would require a trademark to be submitted. Then you’ll also need to purchase GS1 barcodes to place on the product.
Hi! Are you sure that Amazon invoice will be allowed to ungate a product/category? They ask for MANUFACTURER/DISTRIBUTOR invoice, but not Amazon definitely.
And, one more question - what would you do if you can see YOUR ACCOUNT DOESN'T QUALIFY? My account is few months old, and I can see that message on many listings/brands and there is nothing to do with that. What would you recommend?
Thank you
I personally had success purchasing with an Amazon business account- but they’re always changing their rules, and what works for one person may not the next! Ungating is always a gamble, and you just don’t know what will work until you try it 😊 if you’re not eligible for something you can’t change that- start where you CAN ungate, and as you prove yourself as a good seller you will see more and more open up!
Also make a video that how to get approval for "Pesticides and Pesticide Devices". I will really appreciate that.
It’s not an approval, it’s a training module
@@AJ_OnlyAmz thanks, I got approved
quick question! i have not made one sale, can i attempt to un gate right away or do i have to get my feet wet first before amazon will give me the opportunity? Thank you for the content!!
***DO NOT USE THE TYLENOL IN THIS EXAMPLE*** There should be a disclaimer added to this video...Pinned to the top if you cant add it into the video!!! I wished I had watched it again and read comments before ordering. My order comes in today, but I dont have the correct MG. $17 down the drain and still gated in OTC. There was an opportunitiy to correct this at the end of the video. There was an opportunity to correct this 3 mons ago when someone else advise it was incorrect info. To film one thing, then realise it w/wrong and never correct it isnt right and not doing your viewers any good.
Right the video is to show you an example of the process. And I say in it that you have to match the orange book EXACTLY.
Did you see that what you ordered matched the orange book exactly?
@@ProfitGuru1 No, match. Being new to this process I had no previous knowledge that a product would not be found in the Orange book.
The items do not have to be in the Orange Book but you will need the NDC number and you should be able to find the product on the FDA site. Worked for me getting ungating with Tylenol 500 MG
What if we dont have a Business account? I just went to create one, and its saying my application is pending. I put in my SSN as "verification" but i dont have a business or a EIN number. Im worried it'll fall through... also, could we return our 10 products after we're ungated since i dont really need them?
I’ve heard of people having success ordering without the business account .. but I only share what I PERSONALLY have experience doing, and in that case it was ordering with the business account. Best practices say do not return the products.
Hey Cassondra, why do i need to make a business account for this method to work?
It’s just how I heard about it.. and what I did and it worked. I’ve heard others say they tried it not on a business account and it worked for them. But I shared this method because it’s the one that I used and it worked. 😊
Before anyone runs out and buys Tylenol, like i just did, orange book ONLY has 2 oral and 2 rectal options....neither one being what i purchased... now i have tylenol that i don't even need. Purchased 500mg capsules and 650mg tablets were the only ones in the orange book. Really annoying overall.
As mentioned in the pinned comment and in several of the comments here, this video is to show the strategy. Then you can purchase any med that you find in the orange book to ungate.
are you able to ungate specific Brands buying from amazon? for example, Equate or Gerber? Thanks!
Yes 😊
So If I want to start selling nike products and If I want to be ungated I will have to go to Nike web purchase any cheap Nike products in quantity of 10 and that will ungate me?
Yes but you have to find an existing listing on Amazon that matches it exactly! I ordered Nike T shirts through kohl’s , and found the listing on Amazon.. and was ungated very quickly.
Hi, should the Amazon business account be created with a different email than the one I use for my seller account, or with the same email?
I set up a separate business gmail and used that.
thanks for the info but from many sellers i heard AtoA ungating is causing problems in the future from the brands and they dont recommend that in long term , what do you think about that?
Just released a new video on how to ungate OTC using another method if you’re afraid to do amazon to amazon.
do you need a subscription for that multi tool? and say if i find a product from a wholesaler that sells bulk brand stuff and get a invoice of that how will i get approved if i cant buy 10 pcs and can only buy a MOQ of say 200?
Multi tool was free, but someone say it’s paid now?? I downloaded it early on so I got it for free.
If it’s a supplier that Amazon accepts their invoice then you’ll be approved as long as you have a minimum of 10.
I went through the steps here using the packing slip from my shipment and I've been rejected twice. I'm trying to ungate Neutrogena.
"Hello Seller,
Thank you for your application to sell Neutrogena products. We have reviewed the documentation you provided and determined that it does not meet our requirements for the following reasons:
Invoice:
-- You have provided an unacceptable document. Please note that we are unable to accept retail receipts, online order confirmations, packing slips, sales orders, pro-forma invoices, or sales quotes for approval. To proceed, please provide an invoice from a manufacturer or distributor reflecting the itemized list of goods purchased and the terms of sale."
The second time the same person just closed the ticket because I did not submit new documentation.
Take a screen shot of the email order confirmation. That’s what I used. Also upload a picture of the front of all ten, and the back side with the ingredients.
Thanks so much!
The Tylenol product in this video, that's 500mg. Isn't on the orange book the one you clicked on was 650mg. Wouldnt it matter?
It DOES matter. This video shows you the process to take, not necessarily exactly what to get. Just as mentioned in the video, make the orange book and the product match EXACTLY.
Ok awesome, thank you!
I'm signed into my Amazon business email, would that be considered business account to get ungated?
Great video! The ones I brought doesn’t match any of the descriptions on the FDA website 😢
I went with the ibuprofen!
Me either. I picked the one in the video. So I have to return them and buy something different.
@@anncleveland7934 same but I still keep getting denied 😅
Why should I order from a business account? What's the point of ir, can please explain?
I answered in your other comment 😊
What about if you want to sell second hand books, but you're only allowed to sell new ones and you can't just apply for it because they say it's blocked?
If you try and ungate somethings and applications aren't being accepted for that category at that time, there isn't a way around that. Start where you can get ungated, and work from there. Step in where you can, and over time you'll start to see more and more become available!
Would this apply to suplements also? Thank you.
Yes, the same process will apply to most categories and brand ungating.
Thank you Cassondra. I have some questions please.
I just start my amazon seller account and I have my own product with my own brand name and i want to sell it in the Grocery and Gourmet category. I managed to get gtin exemption for my product but they asked me to get an approval to sell in that category, and i couldn't get it. What I'm doing wrong? What are the steps that I have to take?
Again thank you
Find a product in grocery and gourmet foods that you can purchase from the wholesale frontier co-op. Order at least 10, and use it to ungate the category.
@@ProfitGuru1 I found a product that I like and use but it is "36 Count (Pack of 1)" can i get an approval with that.
Thank for the info however isn't using Amazon as the supplier to get ungated a violation of Amazon's policy? Correct me if I'm wrong.
It’s a method that’s been working as of now 😊
Use it as it lasts. I’ve used it to ungate OTC and grocery. I bought 10 canned corn for $7.90 and got approved. This is the cheapest and easiest way to get ungate.
Do you have to buy the ten items from Amazon? Can’t you buy it from in store or another website
Yeah they can be purchased from anywhere that Amazon will accept an invoice from (you never know what they’ll accept until you try, they change on the daily!)
I only get options for free shipping . It’s an Amazon business prime account I have done multiple items now and I cannot select a non-prime shipping option at all for these items. Any ideas?
You’ll want to find the products that do offer regular shipping , and not prime.
Hello, thanks for the video. I tried a couple a of brands and when I try to apply to sell it says "your account does not qualify", do you know why and how do i solve this? thank you
Amazon doesn’t want you to sell due to your history of performance metrics ☹️
@@ProfitGuru1 thanks for the heads up, i tried some other brand and some allows me, just need me to provide a purchase invoice and a letter of authorisation, i went on and email the brand hopefully they can provide me with the letter. my account is new i been only selling for 6 months and mainly my own private label products. i learned about wholesale recently and wanted to give it a go, just wondering with your experience do you know how well i need to perform to let Amazon to sell those locked brand? if i am able to get a letter of authorisation from those locked brand do you know Amazon will give me a green light to resell? thanks
Great video! If you get ungated for Nike does that mean you are ungated for all shoe brands or just the Nike brand.
Just that specific brand!
Why not order the ten units with prime instead of paid shipping ??
People have had their invoices rejected when ordering through Prime.. but for some reason Amazon accepts the invoice if it’s not prime .. it’s just part of the game 🤷♀️
@@ProfitGuru1 ok thanks for the timely response great video btw
Did I understand right? So we buy from Amazon just for the sake of getting ungated but even though there might not be profit for us by doing so?
Yes. If you find one that is profitable to ungate with, great! But lots of times they’re not profitable, but they do open up the door to now selling that that category/brand and making money!
Hy
Can we buy from distributor and upload invoice?
As long as it’s an authorized distributor that amazon accepts their invoices! And you don’t really know who they’ll accept until you try.
@@ProfitGuru1 if we try authorized verified amazon fba distributor from wholesale central than is it ok?
Your videos are excellent. Using your procedure to ungate a couple now. Wish me luck.
Good luck! 😁
@@ProfitGuru1 The FDA application number description does not exactly match the product purchased. Does it matter?
Hi. What would be required to do this Wholesale? Thanks
To purchase through wholesale MOST will require a resale certificate and EIN number at the bare minimum. Having an LLC is an extra benefit.
@@ProfitGuru1 Thanks, keep Rockin' those wonderful tresses! 🤘😀
Hi. Can i ungate with any products using my Amazon Seller Acct, as long I purchase 10 items ? Looking to sell Dove soap.
As long as the brand is accepting applications! Nothing is ever a guarantee when ungating- Amazon plays by their own rules. But I’ve had success personally with this method.
Can you order from a Business Prime account?
That’s what I did to ungate and was successful.
Would this method also work in getting ungated in the BRAND Arm & Hammer?
Yes, it should work for really any brand.
@@ProfitGuru1 thank you 🙏🏼 you’re changing lives with your shared knowledge.
Hi Cassandra, will this method still work? or is there some new or alternate strategy.
It should still work! Just make sure the product and orange book match exactly for whichever product you pick 😊
I just watched your video which is very interesting for unlocking marks, but I have a question.
Do you have any problem with Amazon invoices for the 10 units purchased, to then send them to Amazon to unlock the brand in question.
Doesn't this pose a problem knowing that the invoices come from Amazon?
Thank you,
I ordered from “sold and shipped by Amazon.com” with my business account to ungate OTC and Hotwheels, and both times I had no issues.
I bought excedrin on Amazon, qty of 10, Attached the fda doc, attached copy of the Amazon online order. I got denied, said it isn't an invoice. I waited a day and tried again. Denied again, same reason, it isn't an invoice. I just did it again. Keeping fingers crossed!! Are they not accepting trying to ungate like this anymore?
Amazon is SO black and white!! There are no clear guidelines to what they do and don’t accept.. and what they accept for one seller, they might not for another. Ungating is one of the biggest struggles as a seller because there’s no sure fire way to do it.
I watched your video today that posted yesterday, you with 2 guys. It was great! You made a comment how you got ungated & someone tried it the same way but it didn't work for them..... I'll keep trying and trying till it works!!!
@ProfitGuru1 I tried one more time... their reply... they declined it and said to NOT reapply for it again.
Thank you for the great informations,
I don't understand why so many people are getting upset at the creator of this video. The easiest way to get ungated if people can not accomplish the tasks in this video is have major sales on Amazon and Amazon will ungated you no questions asked.
Some are upset that I just showed the PROCESS,and didn’t tell them an EXACT product and orange book to make it extra easy- so they didn’t have to do any of their own research.
I clearly stated several times that whatever you choose has to match the orange book dosage and form exactly- but some chose not to do that, order a product that didn’t match the orange book, and come back as keyboard warriors 😇
@@ProfitGuru1 Keep up the good work it has taken me 3 years to finally get ungated in 90% of products on Amazon minus the private brands. The more revenue you sell the more that unlocks for you. I never had to request to get ungated in otc one day it just was available. Getting ungated is half the battle the 2nd half is every body wants to send you a letter saying they will sue you if you don't stop selling their products witch is ridiculous. I'm very proud of what I have accomplished so far if people would put in the work Amazon is an amazing money maker way superior to anything else out there. I do 3 times more revenue on Amazon then ebay
@@ta1000 That's awesome! And you're so right.. start selling where you're ALREADY autoungated.. and eventually as you prove yourself more and more will autoungate!
Hi, I’m confused about the switching account. I have a seller central account and then my personal. What should I do? Also can I buy everything from Amazon to get ungated?
You’ll create a new one- business account! Google “Amazon business account” you’ll see the link come right up to sign up for one. Yes many sellers use it over and over to get ungated in different brands and categories- is it GUARANTEED to work? No, nothing ever is on Amazon. But both me and my friends have been approved many times doing this.
Hi, I am able to see only products that say "You need approval to sell in this brand" . How do I find products that will ungate me in category?
It’s hard to say exactly because it’s different for everyone! The best advice is to request approval for AS MANY brands as you can!! You’ll get a lot of applications that pop up (which you’ll have to provide an invoice to take that route) but you’ll also start to see more and more auto approvals the more that you request and the more that you actually start selling. Prove to amazon you’re a good seller and they start ungating automatically more and more. So request approvals as much as possible, and once you find things ungated, start selling them to prove you’re a good seller.
