About supply chain
We have purchased inventory from one vendor , almost after 8 months , Amazon support has asked for the invoices , we have provided all supply chain , from brand to vendor , then vendor us alongwith payment proof and invoices as well ,but the support team reply was " we are unable to verify the invoice mean , the vendor is not respondign,
Now the question is , our account is deactivated even our inventory is shipped back to us , what should we do after one year, our all investment is at stake ?

This is what Amazon wants to see.
Amazon knows what a commercial invoice includes. An invoice is used when Your USA business has a retail commercial credit account with the manufacturer. Most all invoices include all of the following:
- YOUR: business name, business address, business phone, sales tax exempt number, your EIN number, your credit line, and terms of sale
- MANUFACTURER’S: address, phone, EIN number, account Rep’s name & phone number
- PRODUCT’S: quantity, SKU-Model number,
- DISCOUNTS PROCESSES ON THIS PURHASE: quantity, sale, specials
- TERMS OF SHIPPING: method, who pays, company used, tracking number
- TERMS OF PAYMENT: 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, interest assessed
Some have more, but they all use the same basic format. Even when you call and make a small online order and pay by credit card, an invoice is still sent to you separately containing all of the above.

Product sourcing.
I am not sure you understand the different types of distributors, meaning the real ones, and the fake ones.
1. Real Distributor:
- EX 1: The manufacture makes the product in a home location but does not sell the product there. They sell their products thru a distributorship office, one on the east coast, and one on the west coast. The only place you can buy the product is from those 2 locations. Each has a sales rep, and you can only buy from that Rep with a company account. they take your order and the factory ships. If there is any problem, the Rep will take your returns, and you get wholesale pricing.
- EX 2: The manufacture makes the product is a home location but does not sell the product there. The country is divided into territories, each with a Rep. When you want their product, you contact the manufacture, who intern takes your business information and gives it to your local Rep. The Rep makes personal calls to your business to see if you are who you are, and will stop by to refund any products you have a problem with.
2. The fake distributor:
This is the distributor you need to watch out for. They are actually just a retail store calling themselves a distributor (because they distribute to the public, products of others). They sell anything they can get their hands on cheap. They have the accounts with manufacturer's and buy wholesale, then mark it up and sell it to you (at the so called wholesale price). They don't carry any manufacturer's full line just stuff they can buy for cheap. They can even through in a few counterfeit items depending on how smart they believe YOU to be. They sell with an ALL SALES FINAL policy (because their deals and pricing are so good).
If you go to trade shows, you will find the real and fake distributors are both there. When you talk with the real manufacture distributor, they say we would like to have you as a customer, here is our wholesale pricing. When you talk with the fake distributor, they tell you all kinds of reasons they are the best to buy from. You look at their pricing and compare it to the other and see they are selling for $10 more per unit, and walk away. BUT...……………..There is more to the story as Paul Harvey used to say.
The fake distributor, while you, the smart seller, didn't buy from him, others placed orders with them for 5,000 units @ $10 more. So...…..at the end of the show, the fake distributors goes to the manufacture's booth and orders 5,000 products @ $10 less, and takes home a profit of $50,000 on unsuspecting buyers. And now you know the rest of the story.
What type of distributor are you using?

OP: "Now the question is , our account is deactivated even our inventory is shipped back to us , what should we do after one year, our all investment is at stake ?"
You sell it on eBay for a profit and keep on growing. Your situation is only a bump in the road.
