FAQ

Why was my Amazon listing suppressed for compliance?+

Check the request text and compare it with the document type, product identity, and rejection reason.

Can Listara reinstate my listing?+

No. Listara helps organize evidence gaps and next actions; marketplace decisions remain with the platform.

What is the value of a SKU evidence record after suppression?+

It prevents teams from repeatedly searching folders and helps show which evidence area is actually blocking progress.

Should I upload every document I have?+

Usually no. Start with the requested document type and then add supporting evidence only when it helps connect the file to the product.
