Unable to add product to inventory even though I was approved.
I have been approved to sell Adidas and have had no trouble listing products unti I tried to list under the ASIN B0BZ5BV1L1. I haven’t add any problems with listing any other adidas products. Does anyone know why this specific ASIN is currently restricted for me and how I can fix it? I have 11 pairs of these shoes that I want to list but for now I can’t list them.

HINT #3 -- start preparing your "please help with my Section 3 suspension letter' since you will likely need it soon.
HINT #4 -- search the Forum for the dozens of seller suspended for Adidas attempts.
You are confusing AMAZON allowing you to list (or at least "ungate") an item or category and actually being APPROVED to sell a product. AMAZON is only interested in FEES. They will allow a chimpanzee to list if it means they collect $$$$$.
You really need to go study Seller U instead of TikTok and YouTube before your account gets kicked to the curb permanently.

Here are the NEW rules for selling on the ‘new and improved’ Amazon. Only you can tell us if you meet the requirements. If they are rejecting your "invoices" my guess is that you do not.
The first question is -- Are you authorized IN WRITING by the BRAND to sell their items on Amazon? That means from the BRAND, not some random wholesale source that can NOT authorize anything – they only SELL.
More and more brands have provided 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.
The second (and probably more important) question is -- Where are you sourcing your products? Are you buying direct from the brand or through an AUTHORIZED wholesale source?
Have you verified with the BRAND that your distributor IS an authorized wholesale distributor for ALL of their products. Some wholesalers are only allowed to distribute portions of a product line.
NOTE – FOR 'GATED' CATEGORIES' DOING RA IS NOT PERMITTED ON AMAZON. PERIOD. If you have to 'apply to sell' you WILL need an INVOICE from an AUTHORIZED distributor and not a receipt.

Nobody is allowed to sell Adidas. Those you still see just have not yet been caught. Unless you have a written "Letter of Authorization" from Adidas and a contract for many, many thousands of $.
Take all your Adidas listings down if you want your seller account to survive.

Greetings @Seller_iVxDj1FAhGPql,
In general Amazon requires approval some products and brands. In order to sell these brands you need to be approved. As our catalog grows, we continuously make new determinations for which products should be restricted based on a number of factors. Even if you were selling your product before, you may be subject to new restrictions for the following reasons:
- We have placed new restrictions on existing products that either require you to apply for approval. In some instances, we may not accept applications for review.
- You have received a performance notification related to your product and are required to provide additional information before you can sell it again. You can view these notifications through your Performance Notifications or your Account health page.
If you would like to review and see what options, if any, exist for your application, please reply with your most recent Seller Support case on this issue. Thank you for your understanding.
-Glenn
