I believe this is in reference to "Third Party Sellers"
 
As Amazon has been a "Authorised Reseller" in the Past --> Bought from & shipped by Amazon
 
You could contact EVGA CS for clarity   Contact Customer Service

Hello,
is Amazon.it (sold/shipped by amazon) a qualified seller eligible for step up program?
 
Thanks in advance

Did Cool GTX's post not answer your question already or am I not understanding your question clearly?

I will tell you, based on my experience recently, when accessing the evga store front on amazon, you will see an index of their products. be careful when clicking on yellow button to buy, because if evga store is out of that item, it will throw another sellers product in the cart using that button.

This is how I ended up with a third party seller card, using the buy button from the evga store page. This is a serious problem, and you need to be careful.

So there is a Evga geforce 210 on Amazon being sold by Orinokia Tech and fulfilled by Amazon. This wouldn’t be eligible for Evga step-up program? I am trying to get a 3090 and so far I have ordered from adorama (2 weeks ago) and they now have me set up for drop shipping from Evga but it looks like they may never ship it.

This is the same for any website that has a 3rd party market place. Typically if shipped and sold by the website owner, such as Amazon.com LLC, Newegg, Walmart.com etc and not a 3rd party seller on those website's marketplace's then it should be eligible for Step-Up. Conversely, if you buy on Amazon or Newegg and the item is sold by BestTechDeals, CornElectronics, etc, then it would typically not be eligible for Step-Up. There are many factors that can affect this however, such as if the item originally shipped to a Distributor or directly to a Seller. Distributors, such as Ingram Micro, D&H, MA LAB can sell to anyone and be considered an original purchase, which qualifies for Step-Up, with a valid invoice.
 
As an example, if you buy a product on Amazon from BestTechDeals and the item was original shipped to NewEgg, then the seller bought and resold the item, this would be considered second hand and ineligible. On the other hand, if BestTechDeals bought the item from a Distributor, then with a valid invoice, we would generally honor this as an original purchase and would be eligible for the Step-Up program. Keep in mind that in any situation, the invoice/receipt would need to be verified with the seller, before a Step-Up would be approved.
