Could anyone confirm which of these scenarios are typically acceptable to Amazon?

Hello Everyone,

I’m looking for insights from those who have dealt with Section 3 issues or have knowledge in this area. Specifically, I’m interested in how Amazon typically handles and accepts documentation during the appeal process in the following scenarios:

  1. Sourcing directly from the brand with an authorization letter: We have both the invoice and the LOA.
  2. Sourcing directly from the brand with written email authorization as an authorized seller (since the brand doesn’t provide LOAs): We have the invoice and the email.
  3. Sourcing directly from the brand with only an invoice and informing them of our intention to sell on Amazon: We have just the invoice.
  4. Sourcing from an authorized distributor, with an email from the brand stating that the distributor is authorized: We have the distributor’s invoice and the email.
  5. Sourcing from a wholesaler who purchases from an authorized distributor, along with email confirmation from the brand regarding the distributor’s authorization: We have the invoice and two emails.

Thanks in advance!

It’s a completely random situation.

It’s random, all have been known to work and not work, it depends on the situation. #4 and #5 are ones that can be riskier if you do not have suppliers supplier unredacted invoices that lead directly back to the brand. Nothing is 100% foolproof. A brand can rescind their authorization at any time.

Depends on what the weather is doing outside and how many blue cars have driven by your window.

There’s no real rules when it comes to Amazon, seller central just make it up as they go along.
