Sources and method
Every status on this site comes from a public page published by Amazon itself. We do not use forum posts, blogs or screenshots as a source. If Amazon publishes no readable statement, the answer is Unknown.
We read each source page, copy Amazon's own category label, and record which of Amazon's tables it appears in. Each record stores the date we last checked it and the URL of the page. The site is rebuilt from those records; no status is written by hand into a page.

Limits you should know
- Amazon's public tables are category-level. Approval for a specific product, brand or condition (new, used, refurbished) is decided in Seller Central.
- Required documents are shown only inside Seller Central after login, so we do not list them.
- The UK page is the source for the UK marketplace. Its category list may follow a shared Amazon template; we report it as published.
- Some labels appear in both Amazon tables (for example Grocery). We mark those Restricted and say so.
Updates
Sources are re-read monthly and the verification date on each record is updated only when the page was actually re-checked.
