Field notes
The checker asks what the visitor plans to sell and whether it is private-label, resale, homemade, or used, then presents a new-account verdict and related documents, cost floor, and launch order. The page lists 22 gates—12 categories and 10 product types—and says its answers remain in the browser. It distinguishes category-level guidance from brand-level requirements, which it says vary by account and change weekly.
