Inventory stuck at FBA warehouse — listing went inactive after receiving, brand not accepting approval applications. What are my options?

I sent inventory to FBA for an asin. Created my offer, shipped it in, and everything was fine until the inventory was received and checked in at the warehouse. At that point my listing went inactive and I got this error in Manage Inventory:

So now my inventory is sitting at the warehouse and I can’t sell it. When I try to request approval, the brand isn’t accepting applications.

I checked eligibility before purchasing and it showed I was eligible to sell, but it seems like the gating changed after I already had inventory inbound.

What are my options here? Has anyone dealt with this? From what I can tell my choices are:

1. Create a removal order and eat the cost of shipping it back to me
2. Wait and hope the brand opens up approval applications
3. Open a case with Seller Support (not expecting much)

Is there anything else I’m missing? Has anyone had luck getting approval when the brand shows as not accepting applications?
