Decoding Amazon's Gated Products: A Reseller's Strategy for Success

Amazon FBA Gating: A Reseller's Guide to Navigating Restrictions June 2nd, 2025 marked the upload of a video by ResellRepublic, a UK-based Amazon FBA reseller, addressing a common challenge faced by online sellers: product gating. Gating, a restriction imposed by Amazon on certain product categories, limits who can sell them. The video provides a concise, practical approach to this issue. ResellRepublic explains, "If you're gated, there are only two things you can do: get ungated or move on." He emphasizes the importance of research. Before attempting to get ungated, he recommends calculating the cost, suggesting, "Go and do some research and find out how much it's going to cost you to ungate that brand." He uses the example of a £50 profit target, comparing it to the ungating cost. If the cost of ungating is less than the potential profit, he suggests it's worthwhile. The video's straightforward advice resonates with the challenges many Amazon sellers face. While not offering groundbreaking news, it provides valuable insight into a practical aspect of online retail. The video's popularity, with 333 views in a short time, reflects the demand for such practical advice.
