AMZ no longer accepting applications to sell?

[woodyhtc]

I just found out AMZ has brand gated me to sell all LEGO products without any explanations, remedy or timeframe. I don't even have an "apply to Sell" button when I tried to add a product.

I have been selling for years and over 1000+ sets and my acct health has always been in good standing with only a handful of returns. I really don't understand where this is coming from. Does anyone have a similar experience? Any help would be much appreciated. THX!

 

Here is a screenshot when I tried to "request for approval":

Did you have sets already at amazon or did you try selling now after a break? There were a few waves of amazon gating people recently out of the blue, and making them recall their inventory.

No I had sold all of my sets at AMZ and took a 11 month break. I still have them in my listing but absolutely nothing in my inventory. Thanks for your reply!

A month or so ago, Amazon starting brand gating sellers that had been inactive for some period of time along with new sellers.  It's not clear whether it is temporary and will lift after Q4 or is permanent (or at least as permanent as Amazon ever is).
