You can ask Apple since they do not specify in the link exactly what they require as "proof." However, my understanding is it needs to be an official Apple receipt. They are basically trying to make sure it isn't a stolen item and there is nothing preventing an unofficial reseller from selling a stolen item even if the seller itself is not intentionally dishonest.
