| 0:00.0 | There are certain categories that require you on Amazon to obtain pre-approval before you can list in those categories. |
| 0:08.7 | Now, going through the pre-approval process can be kind of a pain and it can take some time. |
| 0:14.1 | So if you're not prepared for that, you could be, you know, at a roadblock down the road waiting to be approved. |
| 0:20.5 | And if you don't get approved and you've already placed orders and done all this crap, |
| 0:23.7 | it could be a sticky situation. |
| 0:33.0 | What's up, guys? You're listening to another episode of selling on Amazon with Andy Isam. |
