1. Why does Amazon require category review?
For certain categories, Amazon wants to ensure that buyers have a good shopping experience on this platform, so Amazon only allows high-quality sellers with certain strength and compliance with the rules (screened through classification review) to sell these products, to maximize customer demand and provide customers with better services.
Certain categories are required to be reviewed in categories because these products in the categories that require review in categories best reflect consumers' concerns about safety, product quality, brand, and import and export restrictions.
2. How to know which categories need to be reviewed?
1. Brand Name location is different: For products that need to be classified and reviewed, the brand name of the product
Displayed above the product title; if the category to which the product belongs does not require classification review, the brand name of the product is displayed below the title with a by in front.
2. Search for similar products on the Amazon front page to see if you can follow the sale: If the detailed page of the similar products you searched does not have Sell on Amazon or Sell Yours,
If there is a follow-up selling button, it means that the categories of these products also need to pass category review before they can be sold.
