Documentation needed for category approval
 

I am trying to list topical products, but I can't as I need to request an approval.
Invoices are no problem, as I own a real company who makes real purchases from real suppliers.
The problem is that they ask me to submit 1 of the 3:

Certificate of Analysis (COA)
FDA Orange Book Application Number
Good manufacturing practices (GMP) certificate

I don't even know what is this..
I am feeling so stressed to start on amazon.. I thought ebay was hard.. ebay it's heaven compared to this so many burocracy.

Ask from manufacturer they will know

Most people who trade items, also buy from traders, wholesaler's etc..
Even if I email manufacturer, they will never answer when we talk about big brands.

AZ it's just stupid.
They are just doing some sellers to give up, and others to find schemes, *** documents, pay experienced people to do that for them and etc.. to be able to list. When you forbid/ make it hard, you just welcome black market and dark things to come in all the way...

The Sad Truth

Let me know if you find someone who does those

Basically what they're asking for is some proof from you that your products aren't toxic. It's something your manufacturer gets after paying a lab to analyze their product to see if it has lead, contains known allergens, etc. Most legitimate manufacturers should provide them to anyone who asks.

Amazon does this to cut down on small sellers and scammers. I'm a manufacturer, and I had to pay $500 to ungate my product and had to send in almost $2000 worth of product samples.
