Add one product at a time
Add a Product is an interactive web-based interface used to list a small number of products, one at a time. The Add a Product tool is available from the Inventory drop-down menu in Seller Central. You can use the tool to:
- Match to an existing product listing: If the product you want to sell already exists on Amazon, you must match it to the existing product detail page.
- Create a new product listing: If the product that you want to sell does not exist on Amazon, you can list a new product and Amazon will create a new product detail page.
Before you match your product to the existing product listing on Amazon, ensure that you have the following information available:
| Information to provide | Description |
|---|---|
| Offer details | Offer details include, for example, the product’s condition, price, quantity and shipping options. You can update your offer information at any time. |
To match the product you want to sell to an existing product listing:
- In Seller Central, select Inventory, click Add a Product, and then search for the product you want to sell on Amazon. The results are more accurate if you search for a product identifier such as a UPC, EAN, JAN or ISBN.
-
If you locate the product you want to sell, do the following:
- Click Sell this product.
- Enter your offer details in the data fields. Required fields are marked with an asterisk.
- Click Save.

List in multiple marketplaces
Whether you are matching to an existing product listing or creating a new one, you have the option to reach more customers by making your listing available across multiple Amazon marketplaces during the listing process. Provide additional attributes such as price for each additional marketplace in the offer tab to create listings in those marketplaces in addition to the marketplace you have selected in the Seller Central header. Prices should be provided in the local marketplace currency, which is denoted in the price field. If a detail page doesn’t yet exist in those marketplaces, Amazon will attempt to automatically translate and create a page on your behalf. This process can take up to 48 hours to complete, and you will be able to suggest content changes in local language after completion.
Available marketplaces are determined by where you are registered, and for marketplaces outside of regions like Europe or North America, by your linked accounts. To find out more about listing policies for each marketplace, go to Amazon’s Category, Product and Content Restrictions .
