Step 1: Go to www.eastbay.com
**Please note, Eastbay is a RETAIL site not a wholesale/distributor. This method is not typical
and not recommended for getting ungated for other categories/brands. **. With that being
said, a business entity IS NOT required.
Step 2: Here are sample products that you can use to purchase a minimum of 10 units of each
sku.
• Nike - https://www.eastbay.com/product/nike-elite-crew-socks/7626463.html
• Adidas - https://www.eastbay.com/product/adidas-interval-reversible-headband-
mens/134713.html
When purchasing these items, make sure your name and address match the name and address
that Amazon has on file for your seller account.
Step 3: Do not submit the email receipt, wait for product to arrive and you will be using the
receipt (invoice) that comes with the product for submission.
Ensure that the invoice provided contains Eastbay’s address and contact information and that it
is legible.
Optional: Feel free to cross out any dollar figure on the invoice.
STEP 3a: It has come to our attention that Eastbay will sometimes have products shipped on
their behalf from other foot sites (ex: Footlocker). When this happens, the invoice we need will
most likely not be included in the package you receive with the products.
STEP 5: Approval could take anywhere from 48 hours to a couple of months. If you do not
receive your approval within a week and at least 2 follow up message attempts, please close
that application and submit a new un-gating application.
If you get a denial, close the application and resubmit a new application, repeat this process if
denial happens again.
STEP 7: Source.
