I was approved to sell a product now I'm not and it says they are no accepting applications to sell
Not sure why I was approved to sell a product and now I’m not! I can’t even apply! What I do now?

More and more frequently Amazon is taking a TWO STEP approach and you are probably caught with not doing one of the steps (or either one!) There are still instances of Amazon NOT requiring the following but they are becoming more and more rare. Ignoring these is placing your account on the endangered species list if (when) Amazon asks for them.
DO NOT CONFUSE AMAZON allowing you to list (or at least "ungate") an item or category and actually being APPROVED to sell a product. Amazon might ungate you for a CATEGORY, but there can be 100's of brands in the category and they ALL have their own restrictions.
AMAZON is only interested in FEES. They will allow a chimpanzee to list if it means they collect $$$$$.
Additionally, brands that you COULD sell yesterday may be restricted today or next week. Amazon is a moving target to deal with.
DO YOU have an LOA from the brand allowing you to sell on here?
If you have an LOA that specifically says you can sell on Amazon you MIGHT survive listing items.
More and more brands are providing a "whitelist" of their approved sellers and if YOU are NOT on the list you will be stopped in your tracks and probably hit with an IP violation.
DID YOU source from AUTHORIZED wholesale sources that your rep at the brand says are OK? You DO have a sales rep at the brand, don't you?
NOTE the verification is required from the brand that the source is legitimate and authorized, NOT from one of those touted on TikTok and YouTube as having "thousands of brands and products" that assures you that they are authorized.
If you have watched any YouTube or TikTok videos FORGET everything you saw there.

Good Afternoon @Seller_P14lCrV771reo,
I wanted to reach out to see if you have tried listing the product recently? I just took a look at the ASIN associated to CASE ID ending in 9921 and I do not see any blockers that would prevent you from listing the ASIN at this time.
Please follow up with us when you have a chance. I hope you have a marvelous rest of the week.
Sincerely, Cooper_Amazon

At this point the best advise is to save yourself and add some years of your life, go sell elsewhere where you will actually receive support that helps. Amazon will do nothing but hurt, or make it painful to even get there.

Approval to list and approval to sell are very different things. You can add a listing for almost anything. Amazon can then take away your ability to sell that item immediately. Depends on the brand and product that you wish to sell and what paperwork Amazon requires from you.
