Can I still use amazon mcf to distribute the inventory tied to inactive lsiting ? (detail paged remove due to the lab request)
When I initially created the listing, everything went smoothly with the previous skin lightening policy. I sent 500 units to Amazon's inventory. However, my listing was recently deactivated due to new safety and compliance requirements.
I completely understand the importance of these regulations and had prepared all the necessary documents before launch.. However, the new policies now require additional testing for metals, pathogenic organisms, and chemicals, which were not part of the requirements when I launched.
I reached out the labs listed on amazon policy page, and the cost of these new tests is $3,200. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds to cover this at the moment, as my resources are tied up in fab inventory and the other half at my home.
My question is
1. Can I still use mcf to distribute my inventory that tied to the blocked , detail paged removed, inactive listing? I am thinking about selling on my own site and promote on other social media platforms.?
2. For my upcoming product, is it possible to use Amazon MCF for fulfillment without listing it on the Amazon marketplace? If possible, how?

Hi @Seller_9yrijB4kOeltg,
Some of these questions are answered in the MCF program page FAQs:
- If you are an Amazon seller using FBA, your inventory can be used to serve both Amazon customers and customers from your MCF sales channels
- MCF is open to all businesses, whether or not you sell on Amazon.
- MCF is a third-party logistics (3PL) service that fulfills orders for any off-Amazon channel, including brand websites, social media stores, and ecommerce marketplaces. If you’re selling on an ecommerce marketplace or social media store, we recommend that you check their guidelines to ensure you adhere to any 3PL requirements for that sales channel.
I recommend viewing that program page for more info, but you should be able to follow the path you're asking provided the requirements mentioned are Amazon-specific for the platform and not applicable to other channels.
Regards,
Topher
