hi and welcome back to another amazon selling video my name is nikki kirk and i've been selling
on amazon for three years doing retail arbitrage selling on amazon all from this rv i have sourced
in i think it's 44 45 states now and we are headed on to a new state where i've never sourced so
that'll be exciting so if you're familiar with my channel then you know that i have on gating
guides and one of the questions i get asked a lot is just the process of the ungating so i'm going
to go ahead and walk you through the process it is not the entire like easy step-by-step process that
is in the guides and the guides do include the whole sellers you don't ever have to have sold
a single thing and you can get ungated you can get as a new seller like brand new right out the gate
you can definitely get ungated if that is what you want to do my guides are helping new sellers
just like you getting gated today so definitely check that out if that's of interest and today
i'm just going to walk you through after you've already got your invoice so you have to get the
invoice and that is really where my guides come in handy because they're telling you how to do it
how to set up your account how to order all that but once you have your invoice here's where the
video comes in now when i first started selling i was gated in everything just like you are i
was gated in grocery i was gated in beauty i was getting them topical i was gated in toys
uh star wars all that kind of stuff lego the big toys that make so much money i couldn't sell
them then when i learned how to get on gated for grocery i still didn't order i waited and dragged
my feet for a couple more months because i just couldn't justify spending that 200
i thought it would have been a waste of money but lo and behold once i finally did spend the 200
on the minimum order to get ungated and grocery just grocery i was kicking myself for waiting
so long and i've had other members of the group say the same thing like they should they waited
too long or it was the best money they've spent as of everything in life you kind of have to learn by
doing it but i will just if you want to listen to my advice i really regret not getting ungated and
that was just in grocery so much sooner so the great thing is that my guide actually for 200
you're not just buying 10 units of grocery you are buying 10 units of all different
categories and brands and you're getting gated in like 8-12 different categories and brands
just by one 200 order when i did it i got one item 10 of them and i had to get to that
200 threshold i have learned over the years and that's why i wrote the guide to really help you
get the most out of your money and get ungated in so many things and toy i have members in the toy
group getting ungated in the toy category and all the big brands for 250 to 400 so that is another
resource if you want it but i just wanted to share like how much things have gotten better for all
you new sellers because it really really has so really quickly here are the categories that you
could get ungated in personal safety and household topical otc grocery baby topical feminine hygiene
brands like adidas so you'll buy something from adidas and now you can sell adidas clothing and
adidas shoes and then also brands like dev colgate crest all those really great money makers when you
find them i was selling crest as of last month so i mean it's really worth it just that one okay so
you've got your invoice now you go to the amazon listing for the item that you have on your invoice
and you hit apply to sell so i always use ponds because i can't sell ponds and i know it's going
to be gated and that's why so you will go here you would add the item you want to sell pawns apply
to sell and it's going to say you need to request approval for the pawns brand and you just go ahead
and click that and now here's where it's asking for your invoices if you're applying for the
brand it's probably not going to ask for photos or any special documents if you're applying for otc
or feminine hygiene it's going to ask you for a document my guides tell you how to get that
document another question that comes up is like how do i get the brand letter you don't actually
need a brand letter it's either one so if you have an invoice you are good to go so i'm going
to say i have an invoice it has to be dated 180 days now if you're in another country your dates
are going to look different than we do ours in the u.s so you if yours is like that it's totally fine
you just want to make sure you spell it out for amazon i tell all the members of my group
you really have to dumb it down like like you're talking to a first grader explain everything write
it all out in the comments section make sure they know you bought 12 of the item
one dozen means 12. like you really got to dumb it down for them so that you'll get approved quickly
and hopefully on the first try so here's the date for if i was applying today it has to be 180 days
out so april 5th include your name and it must match the information on your seller account
it has to match your information on your seller account your legal information not your storefront
name unless that happens to be your legal name it has to be matching billy address everything has
to match now you can ship your order wherever you want but the billing address has to match and this
is key you guys i did this wrong i messed up my first time and luckily the supplier
helped me out and they fixed my invoice for me but you guys if you do this wrong
it is really difficult so you want to make sure you get it right the name and the address needs to
be on there of the distributor or manufacturer and that is because it's a legit invoice that you're
getting and they have their information on there combined units combined purchase of 10 units so it
has to be 10 of the item most often you're going to have to buy 12 because they sell them in dozens
but it has to be 10 at least now if the supplier is selling them in cases and each case is 12
you don't have to buy 12 or 10 cases you can just buy one case of 12 units if your listing
is for an individual item you need 10 of the item if your listing is for a double pack
you're going to need 20 of that item so that's just really how it's broken down and then it says
you can omit the pricing information and all that i never really do because i don't really care if
they see it or not but you can white it out if you want or whatever so you just check all these boxes
you would select here and drop the pdf i highly recommend pushing it to a pdf
and you just attach the pdf of your invoice oh i forgot the biggest part it can't be a store
receipt it has to be a legit invoice from a distributor or manufacturer or supplier
so if you're getting my guide you're getting a legit invoice you are buying it legitimately
like everything is on the up and up so you would do the invoice there
here in the comments is where i'm telling you to dumb it down so if your invoice says one case
and you know case is a dozen you need to write it out for them one case equals 12. 12 and a
dozen like screenshot the site if you need to when you upload your invoice you can actually
make it a couple pages so it could be like your pdf and then another page has the photos if you
have multiple photos so this is not asking me for photos but sometimes it will ask you for photos
and then you would put your email and all that and just hit submit that is really it now you
are off to the races and waiting on amazon to approve another question i'm asked is if i
guarantee i'm gating i wish i could guarantee you i don't hold the cards i'm telling you how to do
it but ultimately amazon is the one approving you and everyone seller account is different
i've not had anyone not get approved i can say that but as far as guaranteeing it unfortunately
i can't once you go ahead and submit your approval you don't actually have to sell the item if you
don't want to most of the time you're taking a loss because you just have to get the item
and get approved because what you want to do is be able to go find the stuff for cheaper at
retail arbitrage but sometimes you have to pay a little more to get ungated and
i'm telling you it is so worth it i have members of the group saying like they went out
sourcing right after getting ungated in just one of the areas like grocery or topical
and already it paid for itself so it is highly valuable and really worth it if you are making
a go at this amazon selling business if you get denied just submit it again just keep trying
if they told you what they denied you for make sure you address those issues if you're like i did
all that just submit it again keep trying again i made my guides for ungating affordable for new
sellers because i know how important it is and i know how limited your funds are i'm telling you it
is so worth it in the guides i walk you through everything you need how to set up the account
how to look for the items on the website how to search for them on amazon how to make sure you
have everything ready to go before you ever place your order because i don't want you wasting money
i just want you to get it all right so it's all in the guides walking you through step by step
all the mistakes i've made and i've seen others make so that you don't have to make them
you can get approved on your first try and if you didn't get approved and you did everything
right just keep submitting the guides also come with facebook groups they are free with the guide
so you can talk to other sellers who are going through the process if you have questions i'm
in there and they are all in there helping you so you can get quick answers to your questions
and really make a go of this i'm so honored that i've actually helped hundreds of sellers
get ungated and it means the world to me because i love helping new sellers and i love hearing about
all their successes so if you have a success story please let me know i'd be happy to share
it i love to share your guys stories i just really love selling on amazon so i hope this encourages
you to get out there and do it and answers any questions that you might have had as always i'm
