Amazon is continuing to add more brands to its gated and restricted products list.
In addition, companies are increasingly taking action to protect their brands from intellectual property violations.
Amazon will still let you list certain brands, however, the actual brand owners can still take legal action against you.
This gray area is where a lot of sellers are getting caught out, resulting in their Amazon account being blocked or suspended.
This is why we have compiled a list of the current Amazon restricted products, so sellers will always know which brands to avoid listing.

How to Use Our List of Restricted Brands on Amazon
Our list includes brands gated by Amazon. It also includes brands where the owner has filed an intellectual property complaint in the past and so trying to sell their products still poses a risk.
All brand names on our list have either been provided by Amazon sellers or we have had problems with the brand owners ourselves.
Personally, I think it is not worth the risk of selling any of the brands listed, particularly if you are a new seller.
Amazon restricted brands can vary from country to country, so, for example, you might be able to still sell on Amazon UK but not Amazon US. However, if a brand owner has taken action in one country, it shows they will take action, so we tend to avoid listing their products.
Amazon sellers can get caught holding lots of stock once the brand owner turns their attention to the country they are selling in. This could then also result in an Amazon policy warning or even account suspension.
A good example is Lego. At the time of writing, you can still list and sell Lego in the UK, but not in the US. We would presume it is just a matter of time before Lego is also gated in the UK.
We recommend sellers avoid stocking up on the riskier brands which you might then have to remove from Amazon FBA and sell on other marketplaces like eBay.
We have also included variations on brand names in our Amazon gated brands list. Sometimes, due to mistakes, there can be listings with a slightly different version of the brand name or trading name for the same company. We thought it would be best to include all these variations on one list.
We are constantly updating our list of restricted products on Amazon with the help of other sellers and members of our Facebook Group. We are always adding more details which will show which are gated or restricted in different countries and also what action the brand owner has taken.
Remember, if you really wanted to play it safe, you would avoid all the brands on this list.
We can email you our full Amazon gated brands list in a spreadsheet. You can then refer to this list when sourcing products.

I just received a letter from Pela (Open Mind Developments Corporation).
Thanks Danielle – will get them added to the list 🙂
If you added features to filter your list by categories, this would be a much more useful tool, but as it is, thank you – it’s awesome!
Hey Brian – great idea. As the list keeps growing we need a way to make it more manageable so will look at options for this. You can download the list and then open it in excel or google docs to do filters etc if required.
Supergoop- will file an IP infringement 😅
Hey Joe – thanks for the information. I have now added Supergoop to our brands list.
Legal action from Bethesda / ID Software.
Truly an invaluable resource. Thank you!

Are these company warnings for wholesale as well?
If you are buying from an authorised wholesaler then you should be able to get permission to resell the brand on Amazon.
