If you are unable to fulfill orders for any reason (for example, family emergency, inclement weather, going on holiday or vacation, and so on), you can change your Listings Status to Inactive. This will remove all of your listings from Amazon product detail pages and search results within one hour. If you have any Fulfillment by Amazon listings, they will remain active on Amazon. You can change your Listings Status for all of your listings, or just for specific marketplaces.
You can still create and edit listings while your listings are Inactive. Additions and changes will be reflected on Amazon when you change your Listings Status back to Active.
When you are ready to sell again, change your Listings Status back to Active, and your listings will reappear within one hour.
Listings Status can only be edited by users who have been granted the right to manage inventory. If you do not see the Edit button next to the Listings Status section, you do not have rights to change the setting.
To set your listings to Inactive or Active, complete the following steps.
Option | Description |
