"I am totally lost. Please help. "

First, congratulations on coming here FIRST! That puts you light years ahead of most rookies.

In addition to what @Seller_ImP1urpxemf0Asays about Seller U spend HOURS here reading about all the creative ways that sellers find to get suspended.

If you have (hopefully) NOT created any ASINs at this point you can get your money back for the $40 while you spend a couple months studying! Then, when you are ready you can start paying when you will actually have a chance of making some sales!

AMAZON FEE REFUND

From an answer by @Connor_Amazon about account fees here --

https://sellercentral.amazon.com/seller-forums/discussions/t/ca287378-1c18-46d3-a37f-ed4f81e6d419?postId=57262b55-916a-4c93-996e-6f0a8347b2cb

You can request for a refund by contacting seller support via this link:

https://sellercentral.amazon.com/cu/contact-us

But first, you will need to downgrade to the individual plan, follow the steps on this page: https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/G201710030

Once you do that, contact support and they will look into refund for you.

And, finally, I don't see any questions about sourcing or product decisions, but be aware that Amazon requirements change daily.

More and more frequently Amazon is taking a TWO STEP approach and you can easily get caught with not doing one of the steps (or either one!) There are still instances of Amazon NOT requiring the following but they are becoming more and more rare. Ignoring these is placing your account on the endangered species list if (when) Amazon asks for them.

DO NOT confuse AMAZON allowing you to list (or at least "ungate") an item or category and actually being APPROVED to sell a product. Amazon might ungate you for a CATEGORY, but there can be 100's of brands in the category and they ALL have their own restrictions.

AMAZON is only interested in FEES. They will allow a chimpanzee to list if it means they collect $$$$$.

Additionally, brands that you COULD sell yesterday may be restricted today or next week. Amazon is a moving target to deal with.

DO YOU have an LOA from the brand allowing you to sell on here?

If you have an LOA that specifically says you can sell on Amazon you MIGHT survive listing items.

More and more brands are providing a "whitelist" of their approved sellers and if YOU are NOT on the list you will be stopped in your tracks and probably hit with an IP violation.

DID YOU source from AUTHORIZED wholesale sources that your rep at the brand says are OK? You DO have a sales rep at the brand, don't you?

Good luck, and be careful. You never know where a hidden landmine is on this site!
