I am currently seeking approval for the Aveeno brand and need assistance with the required documentation.
I am currently seeking approval for the Aveeno brand and need assistance with the required documentation. The instructions specify: "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 shows the itemized list of goods that you bought."
The invoice I previously submitted is the original from the distributor, Bi-Lo Distributors Ltd., and includes all the necessary details. I purchased 11 units of AVEENO Naturals Moisturizing Bar for Dry Skin, 3.50 oz (Pack of 8) for sale on Amazon.
Could you please advise on the appropriate steps to take, considering that the documentation provided meets the stated requirements?

STOP!!!!!!
Why do you think it is advantageous to bypass the Amazon Seller University Training Videos?????? With your question alone you are already doing things wrong without even knowing it!!!!! What you are asking is not a minor issue....It's a major issue and the #1 reason Amazon deactivates so many sellers!!!! Sometimes yes there are stupid questions when all the answers are in the videos but you need to take the time to educate yourself!!!!!
Just because you have been ungated by Amazon does not mean you are legally approved to sell that product on Amazon. Being ungated/approved on Amazon to sell a specific BRAND is part of the process but not all of the process!!!!
You need to get legal authorization FROM THE BRAND to represent and sell the BRAND on Amazon.
That is the FIRST STEP!!!!! Do it FIRST BEFORE YOU EVEN ATTEMPT TO SELL ANTHING ON AMAZON!!!!!
You need permission from the BRAND to represent and sell AVEENO on Amazon....Your supplier cannot give you this authorization and being ungated by Amazon is also not an authorization from the BRAND. Contact the BRAND and ask them if you can sell their BRAND on Amazon.

Make sure you have brand authorization, in writing, for any brand you want to retail on Amazon. this is required now. Aveeno, like many others, ships to Amazon direct. That means you most certainly do not have brand approval.

You need to learn to make your own soap for dry skin and sell it as a handmade product under your own registered and trademarked brand. You aren't Aveeno and you'll never be approved to sell Aveeno.

DO NOT EVEN TRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EVEN IF YOU GET APPROVED.... YOU MAY GET IN TROUBLE!!!!!!
SORRY FOR UPPER CASE--- AND SCREAMNG.

Hello @Seller_ZX1Mq2NHOZRQT,
Amazon requires approval to sell in many categories, brands, and products. In most situations, a direct invoice from the brand is required. As @Seller_R6Pw3cjCRwLNP and@Seller_4zBzdtgCyS9EI said, it needs to be a valid sourced invoice directly from the brand with specific authorization from them.
A letter of authorization (LOA) can also be a valuable addition in these situations if you’re sourcing directly from the brand or their manufacturer.
You will find more details about this using the resources below:
