I believe that many sellers have experienced receiving emails from Amazon for a second review. It is easy to be caught off guard and difficult to deal with when you encounter it for the first time. So what is Amazon’s second review? What is the difference between the first and second trials on Amazon? Please look down.
Different review contents
Amazon's first instance mainly examines information such as the legal person's ID card and business license. The first instance can also be said to be a review of the registered sales authority.
The second review is an examination during the store operation process, generally reviewing the operating hours, invoices, inventory, etc.
Different levels of strictness
It is relatively simple to pass the first review on Amazon, you just need to provide the relevant information.
The second review is very strict and is an audit of the store.
Different information required
Information required for the first instance:
1. Independent and clean computer and network (no Amazon seller or buyer account logged in)
2. Scanned copy of the business license (for companies in mainland China or Hong Kong)
3. Dual currency credit card (for monthly shop rent, usually VISA or MasterCard dual currency credit card)
4. Email (Note: It is recommended to use a dedicated dedicated line for computers, Internet and email, and do not use it with other e-commerce platforms)
If you apply through an Amazon investment manager, you also need to prepare the following materials in advance (mainly for enterprises):
Information required for the second instance:
(1) A valid business license corresponding to the background.
(2) Paper or electronic address bills, including any type of water, electricity, coal and telephone network bills. Credit card bills or p-card bills are not allowed. Property bills are not allowed. The subject can be a company or legal person. If the bill subject is a third party, corresponding valid supporting documents must be provided. (e.g. rental agreement) (note that a bill is not an invoice, all documents with the word "invoice" on the title will not be accepted) (not available for all properties);
(3) Sellers who have created listings need to provide the corresponding VAT invoice.
(4) The store’s operating hours.
(5) Purchase invoices within 6 months. (Used to prove your purchasing channels)
(6) Information about recently shipped orders.
(7) Product website.
(8) Other product sales websites.
(9) Local inventory locations and physical store addresses. (You can fill in the company's address here)
Remark:
1. You must use a machine-printed VAT F invoice or general invoice. If the seller uses a purchase order, shipping order, contract or other documents, it is not acceptable.
2. The products on the F ticket must be products that the seller has put on the shelves, and the products must correspond.
3. The date of issuing the F invoice must be earlier than the time when the product is listed on Amazon. This is very important. Of course, many sellers issue the F invoice later, so remember to indicate on the F invoice that it is a reissue.
4. The quantity of each sku should be greater than the quantity when it is put on the shelf.
5. Sellers who have the conditions can use one F ticket for 3-5 SKUs.
6. If Amazon requires an English version of the F invoice, the seller can directly download the template online, and then remember to stamp it with the official seal and submit the Chinese VAT F invoice together with the English version.
7. The purchaser’s company name and address must be consistent with the company registered on the Amazon account
