Selling on Amazon

[iantaylor197]

Hello, For anyone who sells on Amazon.

How long did it take for your account to be validated?

I submitted all my documents months ago, yet when I login I still have limited access while my account is "validated". So I cant sell. I have messaged them and they just send a generic response saying I just have to wait and if they need anything else they will be in touch.

But it feels as if nothing is happening.

Also as your products are printed yourself have you being able to successfully apply for GTIN exemptions?

Thanks for any help.

It took about 6-8 months to get my account validated. I'd almost given up on them when suddenly I got the approval email.

I think if I remember correctly the GTIN exemption was very quick, perhaps a few hours.

Thank you for getting back to me, hopefully not much longer then.

What do you have to provide for the GTIN exemption is it straight forward?

Fingers crossed for you

This is the info I saved for myself so not sure how helpful it is:

I need to apply for a GTIN exemption for each Brand and Product Category

Search then select i.e.


Home & Garden
Home & Garden
Home & Kitchen
Cooking & Dining
Tableware
Dishware & Serving Pieces
Cups, Mugs & Saucers
Coffee Cups
