Eligibility Module

Know whether you can sell it before you source it.

Listing Eligibility gives members a fast account-level read on whether a product or brand is open, blocked, or worth a closer review before it gets saved as a buy.

Decision States

Most checks end in one of four outcomes.

This module is less about theory and more about the next action. The useful part is knowing whether a product can move forward, needs more documentation, or should be removed from the sourcing list altogether.

Status

Open now

The product looks sellable on the account and can move to final approval or purchasing review.

Status

Needs review

The opportunity may still be workable, but it should not be treated as a clean green light yet.

Status

Probably gated

The product can stay on a watch list, but it should not sit in the active buy queue.

Status

Dead end

If the account cannot realistically move forward, the cleanest answer is to drop it and move on.

Eligibility review Brand and ASIN status
OXO Brand Open Move forward
Simple Modern Brand Review Needs documents
Hydro Flask Straw Lid ASIN Blocked Drop from queue
Contigo Kids Bottle ASIN Open Ready for margin check

This is the last filter before money goes out.

Demand and margin can both look solid and still not matter if the account cannot sell the item. Listing Eligibility exists to stop that exact kind of late-stage mistake.

The safest use of this module is near the end of the workflow. Once a product has already earned research time and margin review, this page tells you whether it belongs in the final buy pile.

  • Best used after: demand and profit both look acceptable.
  • Main input: the brand or ASIN you plan to buy against.
  • Main outcome: a clear keep, review, or remove decision.

Why sellers run this before the order

  • It keeps capital from getting tied up in products the account cannot list.
  • It removes dead-end items before vendor sheets turn into real purchase decisions.
  • It gives the buy queue a final quality-control pass.

Where it is still useful after the first buy

  • Rechecking replenishable products before the next reorder cycle.
  • Cleaning a shared sourcing list so the team is not reviewing blocked items twice.
  • Keeping final approval decisions consistent across weeks and buyers.
