What’s Going On When Amazon Rejects Your Invoice?
You’re trying to sell a gated brand or your ASIN was blocked, and now Amazon is requesting invoices. You upload what you think is a perfect invoice… and then you get the dreaded message:
“We cannot accept this invoice because it identifies an unverifiable supplier.”
Or your request to sell a brand simply stays in “Pending” or gets denied without a clear explanation.

What Amazon Wants to See on Your Invoice
- Authentic & unaltered (no Photoshop, no cropping).
- Issued within 365 days.
- Supplier must be verifiable (website, phone number, physical address).
- Your name/address must match your Amazon account.
- Clear product descriptions: brand + quantity + identifiers.
- Minimum quantity usually between 10–30 units.
- Readable format (.pdf, .jpg, .png).
Optional but Recommended: LOA
A Letter of Authorization dramatically increases approval rates for high-profile brands.
Why Amazon Rejects “Good” Invoices
- Supplier is not easily verifiable online
- Invoice older than 365 days
- Name/address mismatch with Seller Central
- Retail sources instead of distributors
- Generic product descriptions
- Low-quality scans or edited documents
Step-by-Step: How to Submit Your Invoice
1. Gather your documents
- Recent invoice(s)
- Optional: LOA
- Optional: product packaging photos
2. Submit through “Apply to Sell”
- Seller Central → Inventory → Add a Product

Are retail receipts accepted?
No — Amazon only accepts invoices from authorized suppliers.
