Hello,
for those of you doing Online Arbitrage (OA) and Retail Arbitrage (RA), how do you plan to provide supply chain documents if Amazon hits you with a Section 3 request?
I’m curious to know what your backup plan is.
In place of an invoice, I have always used retail receipts, shipping and delivery confirmations as proof of supply chain. Even a saved pdf of the oa website’s order details page has worked for me in the past.
For actual invoices, I scan all invoices pertaining to each shipment and save the file name as the Shipment ID. This method allows me to find a particular invoice quickly by cross referencing the shipment ID or file save date. I also save the hard copy as backup.

No plan. Just always ensure your admin is done on time so when asked for invoices, they’re ready to be presented along with your bank statements and delivery info.

Change the strategy now while your account is not suspended.

Don’t do online arbitrage these days.

So basically, you must store three things for each order:
- Invoice, receipt, order confirmation, etc.
- Bank statement.
- Delivery information.

I have my receipt organised but I mostly use giftcard which could be an issue.
Hmm, I was using gift cards but stopped because accounting and reconciling became an issue. So yeah, I understand your concern.
OA and RA are not recommended. Period.
