First retail arbitrage listing inactive for 5 days need advice
Hey everyone, I recently uploaded my very first product on Amazon (doing retail arbitrage) and it’s been inactive for 4–5 days now. I didn’t create a new listing, I attached my offer to an existing, already listed product (same item, same brand) that’s ungated in my account.
All the info is filled out — price, condition, SKU, etc. My account health is completely fine, no policy violations, and I can’t figure out why it’s still inactive.
I’m doing retail arbitrage for now just to learn the system and get comfortable with Seller Central before I move into private label later on.
I’m just not sure what to do next: • Should I wait longer for it to become active? • Should I delete this offer and try uploading another product (maybe a non–skincare item)? • Or should I list another product while waiting for this one to activate?
Since this is my first ever listing, I’m trying to figure out the right move without messing anything up. Any help or advice from experienced sellers would be really appreciated!
Thanks in advance
