Hi everyone. I’m a newer Amazon seller trying to get ungated in Beauty & Personal Care and Grocery.
I’ve already tried applying with retail invoices, but Amazon rejected them. I don’t have an LLC yet and I’m trying to understand what actually works for newer sellers in 2026.
For those who successfully got ungated:
Did you use wholesalers or authorized distributors?
Which type of invoices were accepted?
Did you start with a specific brand/category first?
Any beginner-friendly distributors you recommend?
I’m not looking for fake invoices or anything against policy, just trying to learn the correct process. Thanks in advance.
