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.
