It's a listing where two or more complimentary items are sold together (examples would be a needles and thread for sewing or a coffee bean grinder and a bag of coffee beans etc.) Is it safe to sell bundles on Amazon? Is it within Amazon policy to combine complimentary items and create a new listing? Can I include brands I don't own? What are the risk? Is this idea dead without a letter of permission from the brands I sell? (also called an LOA or Letter Of Au...

You don't have to look far to find plenty of ideas from sellers on the topic of "how to make Amazon selling better", but we have to keep in mind that Amazon has multiple parties to keep in mind!
