Lately, many people have encountered a serious problem on Amazon.com that affects those who deal under the Wholesale model and online arbitrage in the USA. But it is worth noting that those who sell Private Label may also face this problem if the product in the USA falls under the "Pesticides" category.

In this article, we will look at how to avoid restrictions and successfully sell branded goods on the popular Amazon.com platform.

"Your Account Does Not Qualify" - What does this mean?

So here's the gist of it: if you're not registered as a USA resident or a US entity, Amazon, when you add many brandedlistings to Amazon.com, you'll get a "Your Account Does Not Qualify" message. Many people have probably seen it more than once: Screen link.

This is because now Amazon does NOT allow anyone other than USA companies and USA residents to sell a large number of brands. To be more precise, Amazon gives such an opportunity to accounts originally registered in the USA on the territory of the USA physical persons (residents or citizens of the USA), as well as, accounts opened for a U.S. company. 

Exceptions for USA accounts

Amazon gives this opportunity sell without restrictions accounts originally registered in the USA in the USA on American individuals (residents or USA citizens), as well as, accounts opened for a USA company. Previously worked "scheme" with European accounts, and even the transfer of the old NOT Americanaccount on LLC (with long correspondence with the support, which very rarely changed anything), now it almost does not work. Just transferring account from CIS and even Europeaccount to LLC and letters to the support - no longer guarantees that your account can be made unrestricted. We noticed that towards the end of this summer, the amazon system added a large number of ASINs as unavailable to be added to all those who used to be able to do this on European and some "CIS" accounts.

How to solve such a problem

We spent a bunch of time trying to resolve this with Amazon support, but the result was only opening the "pesticides" category after 4-6 months.

Recommendations for registeringa full-fledged USA account

To avoid such difficulties on the USA marketplace, we strongly recommend opening Amazon accounts for a USA company. It should be done initially for the company, and it should be done competently. The process is not quick, and there are many different nuances if you really want everything to be done the way it needs to be done for the account to work correctly. I will say here that buying an account on some American is a so-so scheme, and definitely not a white-hat one. It works until the first video verification, which Amazon will request sooner or later, and you will lose both the account and the money you can't withdraw (there are tons of posts on FB and Telegram with such cases).

So, we all understand that in order to sell on Amazon.com legally and without unnecessary complications, you need a fully US account so that there are no restrictions. And such an account can still be registered by any non-USA resident. 

Once again, we do not recommend buying accounts from Americans, as a quality account will cost a lot, somewhere around $2000-$3000, if you are lucky and it will be sold by an American, and not a "registrar" of the account on the purchased documents. Well, cheap accounts are bound to have limitations.
