First time seller
Hi all,
I'm having a problem creating a listing to sell products. I've located something I'd like to resell from Alibaba with a fairly decent margin (including all fee's). However when trying to sell a product, it is asking for proof of the following (see image). Now i'd imagine this isn't the first time you've all seen this, but my issue is: If I can obtain such products at a cheaper rate compared to original listing, why would they allow me to resell? Or is it Amazon who approves and not the individual seller? Lastly, if my manufacturer can't provide the proof required, is it a simple case of, I can't list the item?
TIA!!

What do you mean by the above? Are you creating a brand new product that no-one else sells on amazon? Or are you trying to sell on an existing listing?
If its the second - beware - the product needs to EXACTLY match the listing, and that includes the brand name. Given you say you are buying from Alibaba - that may not be likely.
With regards to if you can't get proof - you would be correct in that you can't list the item.

If you want to sell toys and if you are buying from Alibaba, be aware that not all CE marks are the same.
See below. One is a genuine European CE mark, the other is a copycat "Chinese Export" logo which is worthless.
