Restricted Products on Amazon in USA Market Place
Before listing a product on amazon sellers should carefully do an analysis of the “Examples of Permitted and Prohibited Listings” sections in each Restricted Product category. If someone is going to sell a Restricted Product, amazon will immediately suspend or terminate the selling rights and destroy inventory in our fulfilment centres without reimbursement.
