Short answer: no.
This is one of the biggest things new sellers get stuck on. They open Amazon, check a few big brands, see “requires approval,” and immediately think:
“Everything is gated. I can’t sell anything.”
That’s not true.
The big brands are usually gated, yes. But there are still products you’re allowed to sell. The real game is finding those products, analyzing them properly, buying carefully, and building account history over time.
In this video I talk about:
- Why new sellers feel like everything is gated
- Why chasing brand ungating can waste months
- Why ungated does not automatically mean profitable
- How tools like CanFlip, Keepa Product Finder, and SellerAmp can help
- Why you still need product analysis before buying anything
- How your own ungated brand list grows as you source and sell
If you’re using “I’m gated in everything” as the reason you haven’t started sourcing yet, watch this one.
