I recently received an email from Amazon. This is part of a longer message:

To ensure a safe and trustworthy shopping experience, we are implementing additional qualifications to sell [BRAND NAME] products given the sensitive nature of these products. Specifically, we are now limiting offers to domestic sellers with a track record of steady availability and sales of significant inventory supply. To determine whether you will remain qualified to sell these products, we are now requiring sellers to provide evidence of a supply chain greater than 100 units of inventory from a verifiable supplier. If we do not receive supply chain documentation that meets these requirements by 04-29-2025, we will remove your listings.......you will be required to provide all the requested information and documents for the specified listings:
-- Copies of invoices from your supplier issued in the last 180 days that show a quantity of items of at least 100. You may remove pricing information, but the rest of the document must be visible.
-- Contact information for your supplier, including the business name, phone number, address (where applicable), email, and website. We may call your supplier to verify the documents. We will maintain the confidentiality of your supplier contact information.
You can send .pdf, .jpg, .png, or .gif files. These documents must be authentic and unaltered, other than removing or redacting pricing information.

I am selling used cellphones of different manufacturers, which I bought in bulk from another company. I have been selling them for years. I can send the invoices to amazon but before I do, I need advise from someone who has gone through this before. My questions is: When Amazon says that the invoices need to "show a quantity of items of at least 100", what exactly does it mean? Does it mean the quantity of all items of different models and brands, or all items of the same brand in question? Or 100 is the minimum quantity purchased for every item that I am selling?
