Supplier Verification on Amazon: Don't Get Stuck in a Jam


Vova: David, welcome back to the channel!


Let's jump right in and talk about what to do when Amazon has trouble verifying a supplier.


David: Thanks for having me again, Vova.


Dealing with supplier verification on Amazon is an ongoing challenge for sellers.


It's been a concern for a long time, and things haven't gotten any easier recently. 


In fact, I'd say Amazon is being even stricter than ever before about making sure sellers source their products from legitimate suppliers.


As I've mentioned in several videos on my YouTube channel, the basic rules still apply.


The key is to ensure your supplier is a reputable company. 


Look for strong recommendations from others, and don't hesitate to check online reviews to see if there have been any past issues.


One important tip: When your supplier sends you invoices, don't just file them away and forget about them until there's a problem.


Take a moment to review them carefully, especially the first few you receive.

Double-check all the information they contain.


This includes their company name, address, email address, phone numbers, and website address. 


Take a few minutes to compare this information across several sources.


Make sure everything matches up exactly on their website, through a Google search, and on the invoice they sent you.


Next, carefully review the invoice itself to ensure all the items are listed clearly and in detail.


If you were to submit this invoice to Amazon for verification, would it be easy for them to understand exactly what products you purchased?


For instance, an invoice that simply says "Nike" wouldn't be sufficient.


It should specify the type of Nike product, like "10 Men's Nike Air Max Running Shoes (size 10)."


The invoice should also clearly state the quantity of each item you purchased, and this quantity should match what you actually ordered. 


Amazon frequently double-checks these quantities against your sales data to make sure everything adds up.


By being thorough at this stage, you can help prevent any unnecessary delays or complications down the road.


See, Amazon's verification process isn't always perfect. 


Sometimes mistakes are made, and legitimate sellers can get flagged incorrectly.



This can be especially frustrating when you've purchased a product from a reputable supplier, but the invoice they provide isn't detailed enough for Amazon's standards.


In these cases, it can lead to unnecessary delays while you wait for the supplier to reissue a corrected invoice.
