Ungating Max Factor
I've provided Amazon with a valid invoice from Notino for the purchase of 10 units. I know many others who have used them to ungate before. However I've been declined about 10 times in a row. I've even show in person product photos and bank statements but still declined. What else can I even do??

See this new Help Page from amazon - Introduction to Invoice Requirements.
They now state this line...
The following will not be accepted for review.
- Retail receipts, online order confirmations, packing slips, bill of lading documents, or any purchase document that is not an invoice from the product manufacturer or an authorized distributor.
While others may have been ungated in the past - this doesn't seem to be the case anymore - at least not without getting a member of approval team who doesn't know what they are doing.

In addition to the above post, ungating can still be declined even with valid invoices.

Ive had the same problem, ordered 3 different brands under the same order and same invoice, got ungated first time with the other 2 brands but they keep rejecting me for max factor and are saying :

Notino is a retail website available to the public and not a wholesaler, so probably pure luck that these others have been ungated with their receipts.
Also to be ungated for Max Factor, you need an authorised wholesaler/supplier that is on Max Factors official list of distributors.(which is shared by Max Factor with Amazon)
As with a lot of ungating where you have invoices from wholesalers, they may be declined because they are not official supply line and are grey market supplied these goods by back doors, therefore breaking the official chain of validity. (although genuine, the provenance is lost)
