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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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 😊
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)?
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 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 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
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
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.
Hello Cassandra, I am confused. I am now restricted on a brand that i am currently selling on my Amazon FBA/FBM. Please help me to unrestricted 🙏🙏🙏Best, Maria
Amazon can reverse your prior approvals in brands and categories. First check to see that they’re accepting applications for that brand- if they are then go about purchasing ten from an authorized supplier. Then submit the application, product images, and invoice.
I appreciate your reply. But I missed to elaborate my situation. Yes I tried to apply again in different ways , Unfortunately, most of the ibrand item " Not Available " to apply . Then I tried to create a new listing product which I thought will allow me, Unfortunately only says you need approval. But I have no access to "Apply to Sell" . It has been a month now since restricted . My concern is, does my items currently selling on my FBA is at risk of deactivation. If so, are my items will return it to me? But I am positive you can help me out of this. Is there anyway I can reverse to unrestricted on this brand? Please help. Thank in advance.
@@rimamcgroarty3275 Unfortunately if the brand isn't accepting applications to sell, then there isn't a way around it- you can't sell their branded products or apply to. If they're issuing IP violations to you because you still have stock active on the listings, or if Amazon has your stock- you can get it sent back to you for a price. Go into your seller account and create a removal order for the product(s). During the removal order process you decide if you want the products thrown out, liquidated, or sent back to you.
@@ProfitGuru1 HI Cassandra Thank you so much for your help. I do appreciate it so much. now it's happening! My FBA inventory has now started placing inactive on brand that I become restricted. I felt down. I would like to know if there is someone I could ask for help to ux my issue rather than calling Seller support.
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.
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 🤷♀️
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, 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
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. 😊
@@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
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.
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)?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 am i able to snyc up the business email with my already made seller account? Im just wondering if the business email being a business email is necessary.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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!
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)
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!
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 for sure. As a new seller you will not be ungated in a lot! Keep requesting approval for every product you see. Figure out which categories and brands ARE ungated for you, and start there. You will have to just start where you can... prove to Amazon you are a good seller.. and little by little you will notice over time new categories and brands will open up for you to sell in :) Common categories you will probably be ungated in is crafts, office supplies, and pets.
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.
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?
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!)
No, make sure they match! I ended up using advil 500! Amazon sold and shipped it and the orange book had the ibuprofen 500 active ingredient so they matched.
@@chrisp9349hi there. I also have been trying to locate the extra strength Tylenol 500mg tablet /capsules without luck on orange book. I also searched under advil and can't locate this milligram. Please help.. I'm wracking my brain trying to locate. I've also searched under Acetaminophen. The only 500mg I can find is intravenous.. Your help is appreciated
Does the Amazon Business Account Name need to match the name of my Amazon Seller Account? I heard that information on invoices need to match back to your seller account?
Not the store name- but the name you used to create your account (your legal name) needs to match up. And the address that you used on your Amazon account.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Also do we need ungated on the main category or sub category? as you showed in OCT as subcategory.right? if i have a bundle, how does it work and i will have private label on this.
Use the same process to ungate either a category or subcategory’s depending on what you’re selling. Private label for otc? Be aware of the safety data paperwork you’ll need for products like that. You’ll have to send the products out for lab testing and get certification that they’re safe.
@@ProfitGuru1 hi thank you. it is a foot cream actually. i just need to sell under my brand. it is ungated and i am based in thE UK and not US.I cannot but stuff and do t his method. we do need to be gated in beauty ( on the manin category ) o r in the relevant subcategory? Can I just simply find a simialr item and apply for that?
Private label means you manufacture them yourself. Which is hard for shoe private label because with shoes you’ll have to produce several different sizes. To ungated means you’re selling shoes that are already manufactured and are branded. Several shoe brands will make you ungate to be able to sell their brands.
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).
I saw a video that said to get ungated in OTC you have to do it from a personal or business account that u cannot do it from a seller account, however I’ve ungated plenty things thru my seller account so I’m confused on wether this is true or not?
I’ve heard people successful with both, but I personally used a business account. To avoid it all together you can try this ungating strategy instead EASY Amazon FBA Ungating! 3 Categories With ONE Invoice th-cam.com/video/Y2ayxzNr1U0/w-d-xo.html
I’m currently trying to ungate OTC… they’ve gone as far as asking for the business address and registration number, I sent both through the FDA drug establishment current registration site search…but now they’re asking for the “product” registration number not the companies which is super thorough.. and the Orange book screen shot doesn’t show that… have they ever asked u for this thorough of a screen shot?
@ProfitGuru This different email on the business account used to buy.. Shouldn't the invoice/receipt match my name on the seller account? I mean name not email name. Trying to understand this better please.
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
I’ve heard people have luck using both their business and their personal accounts. I personally did it purchasing with my business account and was ungated.
@@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
Thank you for this video! I opened a business account yesterday, I used the email associated with my seller account. I upgraded it to a business account. Is this what you mean by using a business account? I heard from another youtuber that the business account could not be associated with your seller account, is this true? I thought the address had to match your seller account to request approval in an area
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.
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.
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,
Thanks for being here!

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.
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.
OMG Cassandra you ROCK! People are charging crazy money for this. Thanks sweetie.
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!
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.
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 😊
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?
Your are a genius! Keep it up, I will be coming back for more.
Hello! I did everything u said to do in the video but when I went to get fda information, 500 mg Tylenol wasn’t listed….
That was just as a broad example of the steps .. the exact product I used was ibuprofen 500mg.
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
I’m not an expert but I feel like the only reason this works is because Amazon is a reputable seller other sellers are just nobody’s
hey did you try the third party seller thing did it work
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 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?
@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
thank you for the detailed explanation. I will definitely use this.
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 😅
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
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.
Hello Cassandra, I am confused. I am now restricted on a brand that i am currently selling on my Amazon FBA/FBM. Please help me to unrestricted 🙏🙏🙏Best, Maria
Amazon can reverse your prior approvals in brands and categories. First check to see that they’re accepting applications for that brand- if they are then go about purchasing ten from an authorized supplier. Then submit the application, product images, and invoice.
I appreciate your reply. But I missed to elaborate my situation. Yes I tried to apply again in different ways , Unfortunately, most of the ibrand item " Not Available " to apply . Then I tried to create a new listing product which I thought will allow me, Unfortunately only says you need approval. But I have no access to "Apply to Sell" .
It has been a month now since restricted . My concern is, does my items currently selling on my FBA is at risk of deactivation. If so, are my items will return it to me?
But I am positive you can help me out of this. Is there anyway I can reverse to unrestricted on this brand? Please help. Thank in advance.
@@rimamcgroarty3275 Unfortunately if the brand isn't accepting applications to sell, then there isn't a way around it- you can't sell their branded products or apply to. If they're issuing IP violations to you because you still have stock active on the listings, or if Amazon has your stock- you can get it sent back to you for a price. Go into your seller account and create a removal order for the product(s). During the removal order process you decide if you want the products thrown out, liquidated, or sent back to you.
@@ProfitGuru1 HI Cassandra
Thank you so much for your help. I do appreciate it so much. now it's happening! My FBA inventory has now started placing inactive on brand that I become restricted. I felt down. I would like to know if there is someone I could ask for help to ux my issue rather than calling Seller support.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
Did you ever figure this out? I resell Kate spade, Coach etc and was wondering the same thing
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?
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.
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!
Full of value nuggets in your video. Keep adding the valuable stuff.
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?
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
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?
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.
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
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
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
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. 😊
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
AS A BEGINNER WITH LOW BUDGET WHAT TOOLS WOULD YOU SUGGEST IN TERMS IF APPS FOR AN FBA SELLER?
Just google it bro it’s not hard
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
Please let us know if amazon accepts amazon. Business Invoices?
What do the different selling limitations mean on amazon when applying to sell??
That you can't list and sell the items in those conditions.
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?
Thank you for this video. I learned a lot! Awesome!
How do you ogin to your buissness account on regular amazon?
Sign up for a brand new account with a new email. Set up a business email and then set up an Amazon business account with the business email.
@@ProfitGuru1 am i able to snyc up the business email with my already made seller account? Im just wondering if the business email being a business email is necessary.
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.
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.
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.
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! 🤘😀
are you able to ungate specific Brands buying from amazon? for example, Equate or Gerber? Thanks!
Yes 😊
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.
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.
Can you order from a Business Prime account?
That’s what I did to ungate and was successful.
do i have to buy on personal name or business
I’ve heard people say it worked both ways. But personally I did a business account and can say first hand that worked.
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.
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?
Why should I order from a business account? What's the point of ir, can please explain?
I answered in your other comment 😊
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!
Thank you so much for shared that great information with us.
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.
I've gotten far as finding a product to sell but I have to apply to sell but there's restrictions...🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Yes for sure. As a new seller you will not be ungated in a lot! Keep requesting approval for every product you see. Figure out which categories and brands ARE ungated for you, and start there. You will have to just start where you can... prove to Amazon you are a good seller.. and little by little you will notice over time new categories and brands will open up for you to sell in :) Common categories you will probably be ungated in is crafts, office supplies, and pets.
So I'm assuming I need to register my business name to get a proper business entity etc in order to make a business account on Amazon
No. You don't need to register a legit business to open up an Amazon business account. They don't ask for any business documentation.
Does this work for amazon business invoices of purchases made from fba 3rd party sellers?
I haven’t tried that out. I wouldn’t think it would work as easily, if at all. But you never know with Amazon!
I just tried it and it worked thank gd!
@@BeautyDiscounter heyyyy so it worked buying from a 3rd party seller???
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.
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 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!)
From Orange Book it said the strength is 650mg while amazon said 500mg would that work?
No, make sure they match! I ended up using advil 500! Amazon sold and shipped it and the orange book had the ibuprofen 500 active ingredient so they matched.
Yeah I also can’t find Tylenol 500mg in orange book.

@@JSmitty33349 look up the NDC number. I was able to find mine and get ungated.
Does the Amazon Business Account Name need to match the name of my Amazon Seller Account? I heard that information on invoices need to match back to your seller account?
Not the store name- but the name you used to create your account (your legal name) needs to match up. And the address that you used on your Amazon account.
I can’t find the number for 500mg. Somebody can help me?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Also do we need ungated on the main category or sub category? as you showed in OCT as subcategory.right? if i have a bundle, how does it work and i will have private label on this.
Use the same process to ungate either a category or subcategory’s depending on what you’re selling. Private label for otc? Be aware of the safety data paperwork you’ll need for products like that. You’ll have to send the products out for lab testing and get certification that they’re safe.
@@ProfitGuru1 hi thank you. it is a foot cream actually. i just need to sell under my brand. it is ungated and i am based in thE UK and not US.I cannot but stuff and do t his method. we do need to be gated in beauty ( on the manin category ) o r in the relevant subcategory? Can I just simply find a simialr item and apply for that?
Hello! How do i sell private label shoes on amazon? Do i need to do ungated as well? May i know the documents needed?
Private label means you manufacture them yourself. Which is hard for shoe private label because with shoes you’ll have to produce several different sizes.
To ungated means you’re selling shoes that are already manufactured and are branded. Several shoe brands will make you ungate to be able to sell their brands.
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 saw a video that said to get ungated in OTC you have to do it from a personal or business account that u cannot do it from a seller account, however I’ve ungated plenty things thru my seller account so I’m confused on wether this is true or not?
I’ve heard people successful with both, but I personally used a business account. To avoid it all together you can try this ungating strategy instead

I’m currently trying to ungate OTC… they’ve gone as far as asking for the business address and registration number, I sent both through the FDA drug establishment current registration site search…but now they’re asking for the “product” registration number not the companies which is super thorough.. and the Orange book screen shot doesn’t show that… have they ever asked u for this thorough of a screen shot?
thanks for the advice. Is the business account separate to my seller central account? And can i use this method for all categories ?
what i meant to say is does the email i use for my business account need to be the same as the email i use on my seller central account ?
No. I have different emails for both.
@ProfitGuru This different email on the business account used to buy.. Shouldn't the invoice/receipt match my name on the seller account? I mean name not email name. Trying to understand this better please.
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!!! I need help getting ungated from calvin Klein. Whats my best option?
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?
Im confused do I use my seller account to buy these 10 items to unggated or I use my personal account?
I’ve heard people have luck using both their business and their personal accounts. I personally did it purchasing with my business account and was ungated.
@@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
Thank you for this video! I opened a business account yesterday, I used the email associated with my seller account. I upgraded it to a business account. Is this what you mean by using a business account? I heard from another youtuber that the business account could not be associated with your seller account, is this true? I thought the address had to match your seller account to request approval in an area
I had my business name on my Amazon account, and the same name in the business account.. so all of mine matched.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 😊
