If you submit an invoice for an ungating request, it INSTANTLY gets rejected now with this message:

This email came in literally seconds after pressing submit. It’s unlikely that even an AI review was done. I submitted the document in the case log as instructed but I’m getting the impression that they’re going to reject it again and that they’re not actually approving anybody.

Same thing. We are an authorized dealer of the product in question and got instantly rejected. Resubmitted with literally 10 different forms of verification and now “pending”…

We shall see.

It looks like it might be Amazon’s (very ineffective) way of routing to a new process for approvals.

They can’t just make an announcement and post a link.  
/s 🙄

Seems more like denials, but yeah, pretty much.

Woke up this morning an denied again.

In usual Amazon fashion, instead of providing an constructive feedback, so one can address the issue at hand, they respond in cut and paste…

I ever mention I hate Amazon? Lol

Maybe it’s just a way to eliminate, even if it’s a small percentage, the number of applications?  
I guess some sellers won’t take the next step to submitting again therefore reducing the burden on whomever reviews.

It probably eliminates a large % of applications. A lot of sellers just won’t submit the documents again.

This has been my co-owners reply to all Amazon marketing emails recently.

 ![Incompetent](https://sellersasksellers.com/uploads/default/original/2X/e/e9d9dea52bc3d6082beb193c6adcb9635b132041.png)

Amazon Europe- Denied for excessive incompetence  
FBA expansion - Denied for excessive incompetence  
AGL use - Denied for excessive incompetence  
MFC- Denied for excessive incompetence

Told the SAS marketing person on the phone “We have basic core issues that if you cannot guarantee to be addressed, we have no interest.” They replied they could not guarantee the issue will be addressed, so we told them “Unfortunately your compensation for service needs to be tied to that resolution, otherwise we don’t need you.”

I phrased it a little differently but I said the same thing. They didn’t like it much.
