Is an Amazon store screenshot a proper specimen of use?

Founder & Trademark Attorney

Yes, provided it meets the formal requirements. An amazon.com product listing screenshot is one of the more commonly submitted specimen types for physical goods sold online. It must show the trademark clearly in connection with the product, include a visible price or purchase option, be unaltered, include the URL and date, and the mark must match the filed version exactly.

Screenshots from Amazon marketplaces outside the US (such as amazon.co.uk or amazon.de) are not sufficient on their own to prove use in US commerce; use amazon.com specifically.
