Brand Approval denial and invalid return mail.
Hello,
I had applied for brand approval for a product under the Funko brand. However, I received an email from Amazon stating that I have submitted too many applications and requesting me to send the necessary document to this email: "merch.service05@amazon.com".
However, when I send the required document to this email, I receive an email from mailnull@amazon.com with the following content:
"

Don't try to sell Funko Pop. You need a "Letter of Authorization" from that brand, and you will not get it.
Type "Funko Pop" in the search bar on top and read the previous threads.
Even, if Amazon "approves" you to sell whatever brand, that does NOT mean that you are allowed to sell it. You will list and Amazon will suspend your account. So, be happy you were unable to list and could save your account.

Good Evening @Seller_7hCSCSH8ghDTI,
Without a CASE ID, I am unable to identify exactly what feedback the team has been providing you with.
Generally, I have seen sellers submit one brand selling application and then get feedback from the review team if more information is required.
Once rejected the team requests new or additional documentation on that same application. Continuing to reapply for the same brand on new cases may be the reason why you are receiving the auto-rejection notifications.
I did want to provide the a link for Amazon's Responsible Sourcing documentation request requirements. Listed below are the requirements for sourcing documentation request:
Copies of invoices, receipts or other similar documents that demonstrate where your products are produced or manufactured
These documents:
- Should reflect the sales volume of your product across all Amazon marketplaces in the last 365 days
- Should demonstrate your product’s full supply chain
- Should include contact information for the supplier(s) and the original manufacturer. We may contact suppliers or manufacturers to verify the documents
Your documents should be able to trace your products to the original manufacturer even if you did not purchase them directly from the original manufacturer. This may require requesting additional invoices or supply chain documentation from your supplier if you are not sourcing directly from the manufacturer.
You may remove pricing information, but the rest of the document must be visible to enable adequate review of the documents you provide. For ease of our review, you may highlight or circle the ASIN(s) under review.
Additionally as @Seller_rI7BZIczK8iAC mentioned, a letter of authorization can be a valuable to your appeal in these situations if you’re sourcing directly from the brand or their manufacturer.
I also wanted to share our Seller University resource that addresses Invoice requirements for when you apply to sell.
Please carefully review all the feedback the team and I have given you on your brand applications in order to continue moving forward in the application process. Let us know if you have any questions about any of the information provided above.
Sincerely, Cooper_Amazon
