Here is exactly what Amazon wants you to share with them. If you don't have this, your process
will be slowed.

#1 Product Title: Copy this exactly from Amazon's page AND make a note in the "Notes"
section if the title varies in the receipt.

#2 ASIN: Amazon should have provided you with this.

#3 UPC: This is on file for all products. Sometimes, you can find the UPC using
ASINtoUPC.com, but it isn't great. If you can't find it and your invoice doesn't have UPCs, you
can ignore this part.

#4 Supplier: The name of the product source. This does include retailers. If you feel more
comfortable putting "retailer" instead of supplier, go for it. If you purchased this from a retail
location like Target, you may add the city name to the Target. For Example, I may put "Target
Polaris" for an item I purchased from a Target in the city of Polaris. Whatever it says on the
invoice, put that here.

#5 Supplier Address: Don't leave this blank. If the item was purchase via online arbitrage, find
out where it shipped from.

#6 Supplier Tel: Find a working telephone number contact for the supplier. If you have a
contact person, that is a bonus. Add that in a note.

#7 Supplier Website: Regardless of where you purchased the item, put a website. If you are
buying from someone who doesn’t have a website, well, you’re doing it wrong!

#8 Date of Purchase: This is what is on the receipt. Don't try and avoid this if it's over 365 days.
Instead, work to explain why you have an older invoice. If it was because the item hasn't sold
since you made this purchase (or you purchased way more than sold) that may work.

#9 QTY Purchased: Amazon wants to know how many you purchased. Some invoices (stores
like Nike Outlet for example) have products that are not organized when they print. You may
have 12 of the same UPC scattered among 5 pages (or maybe 32 inches) of receipt paper. You
need to highlight and tally each one. The Qty you send them should match (within reason) the
amount that you have shipped them this year. If you cannot provide this for some reason, be
clear as too why.

#10 Link to Invoice: I include this to send my annotated images in a clickable way. You can't
attach images to your initial appeal, so I do this. Even on my next appeals when I do attach the
images as files (since you will be sending emails) I still include these links. I want to make it as
hard on Amazon as I can to say that they need more information!

#11 Notes: Here you should include anything that is relevant to the product and documentation
you're providing. Here I recommend mentioning who purchased the item and explain how you
can prove that the purchase was made with a card that you own.

If you have a receipt or invoice that Amazon is NOT accepting, you may need to provide them
with proof of your credit card ownership. Most receipts should have at the very least the last 4
digits of the buyers credit card number. You can send images of the last 4 digits and your name
on the credit card (assuming you did make the purchases).

Ok, so how about gift cards? You may ask…

It isn't ideal, but you may need to go as far as proving that YOU purchased the gift cards with a
credit card you own. It gets complex, but come on, it's your account. Do the work!
