Manage your inventory

The Copy Listing feature allows you to create a new product detail page using information from an existing listing.

For example, you have three different versions of the same toy. Each version has a different product identifier (UPC, EAN, or JAN), but otherwise shares the manufacturer, brand, general description, and audience (as shown in the table below). You can create a detail page for one of the product versions and then use the Copy Listing feature to quickly create pages for the other two versions.

To copy a listing:

1. On the Inventory menu, select Manage Inventory.
2. Locate the product that you want to copy.
3. Select Copy listing from the drop-down menu for the product that you want to copy. The template will be populated with the product attributes from the original listing except for its SKU and product identifier.
4. Enter the unique SKU, product identifier, and any other attributes specific to the listing you are creating.
5. Select the Apply EAN or UPC Exemption check box.
6. Click Save and finish.

You can provide one main image and one or more secondary images for each listing. To learn about using product images in your listings, see Prepare product images.

To upload product images:

1. On the Inventory menu, select Manage Inventory.
2. Find the listing for which you want to add an image.
3. For the product you want to edit, select Manage Images from the drop-down menu.
4. Click Add Images.
5. In an image slot, click the Browse File button. You can select an empty slot or replace an existing image.
6. Select an image to upload, and click Open. The image file name will appear in the lower-left corner of the image slot.
7. Click Upload image(s) to upload your selected images.

You can repeat steps 5 and 6 as many times as there are image slots before clicking Upload image(s) (step 7). Images may take up to 24 hours to appear on a product detail page.

In most cases, changes you make to product information appear on Amazon within 5 minutes. However, some updates can take up to 6 hours. Product descriptions longer than 500 characters are generally updated at 2:00 a.m. UTC +10:00 Sydney the day after the following day. Images may take up to 24 hours to appear on a product detail page.

To edit details for an existing listing:

1. On the Inventory menu, select Manage Inventory.
2. Select the Active status filter above the product list.
3. Find the listing you want to edit, and select Edit from the drop-down menu for that listing.
4. Click the links at the top of the page to add, edit, or change the listing's content. You can also type price and quantity updates in the text boxes in the Price and Quantity columns.
5. Click Save and finish.

To set price limits, you can add minimum and maximum price columns to your Manage Pricing or Manage Inventory view.

1. Click Manage Pricing at the top of the Manage Inventory page.
2. Click Preferences in the upper-right corner.
3. Select the check boxes next to Your Minimum Price and/or Your Maximum Price, and click Save changes. These columns will now appear on the page.
4. Enter the values you want in the columns, and click Save.

You can close a listing at any time, up until the time it is purchased. This action does not remove the record from your inventory. The SKU and all listing information for the item are retained. Additionally, a listing can be re-listed (or reactivated) at any time. There is no fee associated with closing a listing.

1. On the Inventory menu, select Manage Inventory.
2. On the Manage Inventory page, select the Active status filter above the product list.
3. Find the listing you want to close, and select Close listing from the drop-down menu.

Your listing should appear as Inactive within 24 hours.

When you delete a listing, the SKU and all sales history and product information are permanently removed from your seller account. Therefore, you should delete a SKU and its listing information only if you are never going to sell that product in the future.

1. On the Inventory menu, select Manage Inventory.
2. Find the listing you want to delete:
   • For single listings, select Delete product and listing from the drop-down menu for the product you want to delete.
   • For multiple listings, select the box to the left of the listings you want to delete, and select Delete product and listing from the Action on selected drop-down menu above the list.
3. Click OK to delete, or click Cancel to keep the listing.

1. Click Manage Pricing at the top of the Manage Inventory page.
   
2. Locate the product you want to update.
3. Click Match low price on the far right. The item price in the Low Price + Shipping column will automatically update so that it matches the low price.
4. Click Save to save your new price.

You can relist (or reactivate) a listing at any time.

1. On the Inventory menu, select Manage Inventory.
2. On the Manage Inventory page, select the Inactive status filter above the product list.
3. Find the listing you want to relist, and select Relist from the drop-down menu.
