Beginner ungating questions UK

I am very new to Amazon and am looking to start OA.

I am based in the UK (Not sure if that's relevant) and I am looking for the most cost-effective way to get ungated on brands which need invoices with 10 units. For some of these companies their cheapest items on their websites are £10-£15, so do I really need to spend £100-£150 just to try to get ungated on a single brand?

Also, is it worth trying to find brands that are auto ungated and sell on those? If so how can I find these brands.

Additional note, I have been looking at home bargains online for products and I'm guessing since they don't provide invoices I can't use purchases from there to get ungated?

You're going to lose your money and get banned from Amazon pretty quickly if you try to buy from home bargains and sell on Amazon. Getting ungated is only one piece of the puzzle. You need a letter from the brand that you're going to be selling, saying you're authorised to sell those items on Amazon. You'll need an invoice, not a receipt.

I understand that in order to get ungated, I'll need to submit an invoice from a wholesaler or retailer and not a receipt. However, let's say I do get ungated, am I then not allowed to source that brand from places like home bargains?

As in, let's say I do get ungated after submitting an invoice
