You Can’t Just Sell Anything On Amazon
You can’t just sell any old thing on Amazon. That’s because Amazon creates an environment or trust where customers can always confidently make their purchases.
Comply With Laws, Regulations, And Policies
When you offer products for sale on Amazon, they must comply with all laws and regulations, and with Amazon’s policies. Amazon strictly prohibits the sale of illegal or unsafe products and anything on their restricted products list.
Common Products You Cannot Sell On Amazon:
- Lock Pick Sets
- Ultrasonic Pest Repellent
- Magnet Toys
- Guns
- Prescription drugs

Some Of The Problems You Can Cause Yourself
Maybe you’re like me, and laws and regulations make you feel rebellious. But not complying is one of those “shoot yourself in your own foot” situations.
Here’s a quote from Amazon, “we will take corrective actions, as appropriate, including but not limited to immediately suspending or terminating selling privileges, destroying inventory in our fulfillment centers without reimbursement, returning inventory, terminating the business relationship, and permanent withholding of payments. The sale of illegal or unsafe products can also lead to legal action, including civil and criminal penalties.”
Just Don’t Do It
Yeah, you don’t want any of these kinds of things.
- You don’t want the problems.
- You don’t want to have something dumb get in the way of building a business.
- What’s the point in stupidly rebelling when you’re the only person getting hurt?
