Deep dives

Starting in Open Categories

The best approach for new sellers is to begin by focusing on open categories on Amazon, which do not require prior approval. Categories such as tools and home improvement, video games, fashion, and others are readily accessible. However, despite a category being open, it is essential to check eligibility for specific subcategories and brands, as not all may allow unrestricted selling. This careful selection helps maintain marketplace integrity and ensures that sellers do not inadvertently list counterfeit or substandard products.
