Selling MS products on amazon
 

Hi,

I am looking to sell microsoft branded products on amazon but it asks for this?

At least 1 purchase invoice for products from a manufacturer or distributor


How about would i go about getting one to satisfy this requirement?

The person i get the codes from cant provide me one…

I would recommend not selling these types of products on Amazon, you can have big headaches.
On the other hand, if you do it anyway, try to find invoices with real stamps that look real...
and sell physical products not codes

Why headache?
Well all the codes i have are just digital codes so it wouldn’t make sense to send out physical ones…
Can you point me to any direction that i can sort out the documents required?

Your account most likely will be banned, it's so risky to sell MS stuff and they'll really vet you to make sure you are a legitimate reseller.

And you're not even selling a tangible item.

Oh wow lol so i guess its going back to eBay ����

Re: Selling MS products on amazon
 

eBay is also strict with these items in their own way.
but I think you have a slightly better chance, not a good chance, just slightly better chance than Amazon on stuff like this.

Just to get your mentally prepared, what I have seen often is a seller list the product, then eBay pulls the product down and you either get 1 strike or suspended .

I just don’t understand it,
There are loads of people selling the exact same codes as me on ebay?

Re: Selling MS products on amazon
 

It looks like Ebay will pull the plug once someone places an order,I bought a MSFT key one time,then the seller listing was cancelled .The seller still deliver the key and keeps the money but the listing is gone.Also,you know there is no seller protection as you have no tracking to show you have shipped the item,someone suggested you mail a thank you card with tracking to protect yourself,but it could wipe out your profit,in USA,the cheapest is $4.02 first class mail with tracking

read around the forum for various posts on the same subject and you'll see why it is a headache...

you'll need direction from seasoned veteran sellers but i kind of doubt you'll get free advice....

AZ is no longer a platform for selling high end name brands. Almost locked up tight for many brands like MS and APPLE.
That is why more people are leaning towards private label items.

The list of companies/manufacturers that will put the squash on these type of sellers is large and frequent.

Even smaller brands have to be researched before trying to sell, and no guarantee you won't get hit or shut down.

Since AAPL starts selling on AMZN,AMZN threw out 2 large AAPL sellers of refurbished Iphones,they went to Ebay.
I guess this is what they call AMZN loss and EBAY gain.

Digital stuff is always very risky, and only because some people are getting away with it, doesn't mean you will.

Re: Selling MS products on amazon
 

In Amazon we recommend selling this type of item, its very restrictive with this type of brand and product.

Re: Selling MS products on amazon
 

Did you manage to do it on eBay?

Re: Selling MS products on amazon
 

You advice seems to differ from other posters. Whilst I agree it would potentially be a good little earner are you sure it is a good idea to try and list digital keys?
