Inventory file templates

You can search for products that already exist in the Amazon catalogue and then list them using a pre-filled template. Minimal product details are required.

Follow these steps to list your products:

1. 1. Go to Add products ; choose Spreadsheet; click Download a blank template and use List products already in Amazon’s catalogue to search using product IDs.
2. You can search for products using UPCs, European Article Numbers (EANs), International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs) or ASINs. You can enter multiple product IDs separated by a comma, space or line break. Up to 500 products can be searched at once.
3. After you’ve clicked Generate spreadsheet, you’ll be presented with a pre-filled spreadsheet under the Downloads template tab. This will have the details of products that you’ve searched.
4. Verify the products that you want to sell and follow these steps:
   
   1. If the returned result matches to the product that you want to sell, add your offer details and the following information to the corresponding columns in the template:
      • Price
      • Quantity
      • Condition
      • Shipping options
      • Any other optional columns that you want to provide
   2. Repeat the above step for all products in your list. If you don’t want to add a particular product, you can either remove it from the list or change the Action for the template row to Ignored.
   3. Save the list as a tab-separated values (TSV) text file.
   4. Upload the completed spreadsheet by going to Add products and choosing Spreadsheet.
   5. You can check the processing summary for your SKUs by clicking on Check upload status..

If you are unable to locate your product in the list, go to Add products ; choose Spreadsheet; click Download a blank template, to download a product template. You can use the template to create new products in our catalogue using product attributes.
