How does it work?

On Amazon Renewed, approved Selling Partners can sell high-quality refurbished products to millions of Amazon customers worldwide.

2. If you are a manufacturer/brand owner, provide trademark documentation or proof of registration in the Amazon Brand Registry Program.
3. If you are a reseller or distributor, provide paid Invoices meeting the necessary criteria
4. Provide sample product and packaging images
5. You will meet and adhere to the Amazon Renewed Quality for all of your Renewed products.
