Default Amazon Review question

I got a message from Amazon this morning saying that they were conducting a review of my selling account. It says that for them to complete the review they need invoices for one of the listings I'm selling.

My account is still running though and I am not blocked out of that listing. Do I have to respond back to them? Also if I just buy this item on eBay and sell it on Amazon, can I give them an eBay invoice as proof?

How do I even submit the invoices? It does not say where to send it or anything else. Anyone have any experience with this?

A professional letter has worked well but that invoice specific request...what kind of item? Risky potential?

To reply, just do an email reply from the email account you use (say gmail).

Make sure all image downloads etc are turned off.

This is the email.

Hello,
We are conducting a review of your selling account. To complete our review, we need to verify your inventory of these items:
ASIN: ******
Title: *******
Please reply to this message with this information:
- Copies of receipts or invoices
- Your distributor’s or supplier’s contact information (name, phone number, address, etc.)

You may obscure pricing information on any receipts or invoices you send. We ask that you do not obscure any other portion of these documents.

Account reviews support our commitment to improving the customer experience. These reviews are intended to ensure the timely shipment of orders, compliance with our selling policies, and the mutual success of buyers and sellers in the Amazon Marketplace.

Thank you for selling on Amazon.com.

Regards,

Seller Performance Team
Amazon.com
https://www.amazon.com


Its not a high risk item. Its a cell phone. Its obviously authentic but its purchased on eBay. I wonder if that would work as an invoice.

Did you list the phones as "new" or were they "like new"?

Normally they ask for invoices if they consider the items to be counterfeit, like DVDs for instance. I sold quite a lot of mobile phones when my account was under review and never asked for a single invoice. Guess I got lucky then sold mine as used mostly

Yes but it will get suspended if he does not submit the relevant evidence. Sending an ebay invoice is also risky. They like to see a proper wholesaler distributor

So it seems like a lose lose situation for me. Yes I have sold a lot (relative) but under different listings. Not just that specific one.

I am not sure if Amazon look at the invoices on face value or actually get them verified.

But always worth a try. When they want an invoice and you don't give it seems like you have something to hide which is more or less likely the death of an account. Sorry to say

So send in the receipts and see what they say.

This kind of request from Amazon is to weed out counterfeits - best to reply quickly, true. eBay invoice will likely not be sufficient - use a legit source

I submitted ebay orders for that item that I had purchased the last month. For that specific item I buy it on eBay and sell it on Amazon. What else would I be able to give to them?
