Show the combined purchase of at least 100 units | Ungating Reebok
I am currently trying to ungate the Reebok brand and run into a significant roadblock. I need to show the combined purchase of at least 100 units from the supplier, but Reebok doesn't accept bulk orders either online or in-store. Additionally, they don't work with any distributors.
I reached out to Reebok via instant chat because that is the only option to contact with them. They advised me to take screenshot of the conversation as evidence.
Has anyone faced this issue before? If so, were screenshots of the conversation is enough or is there another way to meet the requirements? Any advice on how to navigate this would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your help

Wow just wow! I am a new seller and I spend many hours each day reading forums and watching videos In Amazon University. And these same questions are posted endlessly. As a new seller I will go out on a limb here and give some personal advice to Hunxo......
Hunxo, seems to me that you have NOT researched how to sell or what you can sell on Amazon. And after reading your dilemma it's obvious you have not done any research at all.
You CANNOT SELL REEBOK on Amazon without a letter FROM REEBOK corporate making you a legal distributor who can legally sell REEBOK BRAND on Amazon.
And you CANNOT get that authorization letter from a REEBOK retail store. It must come directly from REEBOK CORPORATE.
A receipt from a REEBOK retail location or online for a purchase you have made is not legal authorization for you to then turn around and sell your purchase on Amazon.
A retail receipt is NOT an invoice.
REEBOK instant chat is for retail buyers I assume to inquire about their retail purchases.
Just because you can buy a large amount of REEBOK branded products from an online or brick and mortar store and have a RECEIPT from REEBOK for that purchase, that does NOT give you legal permission to sell that REEBOK BRANDED product. Being UNGATED allows "distributors" with a letter of authorization from "REEBOK CORPORATE" to sell on Amazon retail marketplace.
You cannot just pick a BRANDED product to sell on Amazon without being legally authorized as a distributor with a letter of authorization in hand for that brand allowing you to sell on Amazon.
Everyone confuses being UNGATED with being legally authorized to sell BRANDED products on Amazon.
In your posted question you acknowledged that "REEBOK does not work with any distributors". Well that is your answer. You CANNOT sell the BRAND REEBOK on Amazon. I am sure REEBOK does this because they do not want anyone to sell counterfeit REEBOK products on Amazon or anywhere else.
My suggestion is to find an unbranded product to sell (tons of products from China) or create your own brand to sell on Amazon because you obviously cannot sell REEBOK on Amazon.
One last thing ....If you try to sell ANY BRANDED product on Amazon without a letter of authorization directly from the MANUFACTURER, Amazon will deactivate your selling privileges and you will NEVER and I seriously mean NEVER be allowed to sell anything on Amazon again. And their computers are better than FBI skip tracing.
Ok I think I answered the question

Actually, you cannot sell ANY brand on Amazon without a letter of authorization from the brand owner.

Hello @Seller_j4LzeXVVnOGQT, thanks for posting, and I'm happy to see some sound guidance in the comments from the community already!
You'll be interested in reviewing this Seller University video covering invoice requirements when you apply to sell, this detail on Letters of Authorization, and this overview of the entire Approvals process.
I hope this information proves useful, and thanks again for checking in with us here in the New Seller Community!
