There are many sellers on here using that model but as older sellers, they will only get an invoice request for a problem asin and if they can’t produce the invoice, only loose the listing and not their account
The issue as a newer seller is the random 3 asin check. If you cannot produce invoices - not receipts for them, you could loose the whole account
There was a response from a mod from about 6 months ago to a seller that I screenshot saying receipts were not accepted however, another mod put a different response to someone about a fortnight ago saying receipts were acceptable 
I suppose its only down to new reports coming through the forums if RA is now accepted or not
One mod -
Another mod -
Wonder if any mods could confirm ?

Most sellers’ experience on here appears to be that nothing from Costco is acceptable to Amazon. Amazon expect/require you to purchase from manufacturers, official distributors or trade-only wholesalers. Costco will sell to people who are not traders and therefore they are unacceptable
