amazon approval
when applying for approval for listing products we are stuck with the sub category grocery and gourmet food. we are able to sell the products as individuals but then cannot list because of the sub category . we have uploaded invoices from wholesalers but amazon are saying we need authorization individual manufactures. we buy from wholesalers not manufacturers ,, solutions please.

Buying wholesale doesn't bring an automatic right to be able to sell those brand's products via Amazon.
Some brands take active control of who can sell their products on Amazon, some don't. So the easiest option is to focus on the brands you can sell without brand authorisation while working with the gated brands to seek authorisation.
You mention selling as an individual but I assume that means you're intending to pay the fee per item sold rather than go on the professional selling plan. You'll certainly need to be registered on Amazon as a business to sell new items and/or items for profit.

Hi there @Seller_g2b8LmjAxqcW3,
I'm sorry you are having difficulties with your applications to sell products requiring approval. When Amazon requests documentation they are often attempting to determine the authenticity and source of inventory. You can review what Amazon expects via the Guidelines to source products to sell on Amazon and the Invoices for Selling Applications help page. Thank you for your understanding.
