Sourcing and listing my item
Hi guys , I am new to selling on Amazon , I enjoy retail arbitrage but my only worry is , that if I buy things from let’s say Argos and then I go to list the product and then Amazon requests me to send them invoices etc , does having an online order confirmation make it enough for what Amazon would require . Also let’s say I have receipts of my purchase from stores I have been in , and then Amazon asks for invoices , is it safe to do retail arbitrage without being asked lots of questions from Amazon. I would appreciate any help with this .Thank you

I would suggest that you search the forums for this. You will see why it’s a bad idea to do RA on Amazon.
To put it simply, if you are buying retail and then selling on Amazon, you should be selling items as second hand and not new.
Amazon WILL at some point expect invoices from you, from a reputable supplier. ie. not a retailer a wholesale/manufacturer/distributor.
The only way you will avoid having issues, is to not buy retail.

Not for long if you don’t have invoices

Amazon is not the best platform to do retail arbitrage (or online arbitrage) - too many potential pitfalls.
