Hi there @Seller_EldX9YBXspTbT,

Welcome to selling on Amazon and thank you for utilizing the Seller Forums!

I currently have an LLC, an active resale permit, and a Costco Executive Membership. I'm exploring different avenues for selling on Amazon and considering starting with arbitrage.

I understand you have questions regarding reselling items purchased from Costco.

You need to make sure that you have permission FROM THE BRAND to sell on Amazon.

After that, check with THE BRAND to confirm that Costco is an authorized distributor of their product. Despite the fact that Costco has the word "Wholesale" in their name, they are a retail outlet; and while it is possible to make business purchases there as if they are a wholesaler, the brand may not recognize them as a legitimate distributor, even if they give you permission to sell their items on Amazon.

@Seller_nRFmxiQg4EGrw has made an excellent point here. You will want to ensure that not only your supplier is authorized to sell the items in question, but that you could obtain authorization for yourself and business as well in order to maintain the authenticity of items you offer for sale. This is in addition to obtaining proper sourcing documentation or a letter of authenticity in the event questions of that authenticity and supply chain arise. Listed below are the requirements for such a request:

• Copies of invoices, receipts or other similar documents that demonstrate where your products are produced or manufactured.

These documents:

• Should reflect the sales volume of your product across all Amazon marketplaces in the last 365 days
• Should demonstrate your product’s full supply chain
• Should include contact information for the supplier(s) and the original manufacturer. We may contact suppliers or manufacturers to verify the documents
• Your documents should be able to trace your products to the original manufacturer even if you did not purchase them directly from the original manufacturer. This may require requesting additional invoices or supply chain documentation from your supplier if you are not sourcing directly from the manufacturer.
• You may remove pricing information, but the rest of the document must be visible to enable adequate review of the documents you provide. For ease of our review, you may highlight or circle the ASIN(s) under review.

Can you guide me as a new seller on how I can contact them via email or phone?
