Getting category approval on Amazon can be a tough challenge, especially when Seller Support fails to provide a resolution. One of my recent clients was struggling with category approval for their product listing. Despite multiple attempts and back-and-forth conversations with Amazon Support, they couldn’t get the necessary approval. Frustrated and running out of options, they reached out to me—and I successfully got their product approved in the right category, allowing them to start selling immediately.
The Client’s Challenge
The client wanted to list their product in a restricted category, but they faced multiple roadblocks:
Repeated rejections from Amazon
No clear guidance from Seller Support
Necessary documents not being accepted
Delayed approvals affecting business growth
Even after submitting multiple requests, Amazon’s system kept declining the approval. The client was on the verge of giving up before seeking my expertise.
How I Got the Category Approved
To navigate this complex process, I followed a systematic approach:
Step 1. Identifying the Root Cause
Step 2. Preparing & Submitting the Right Documents
Step 3. Contacting Amazon’s Internal Teams
The Results: Category Approval Achieved!
Amazon approved the category within 48 hours
Client’s product went live, allowing immediate sales
Increased visibility in the correct category
Client was thrilled and left a 5-star review
Preventive measures implemented to avoid future approval delays
