Amazon product release Tips
There are 2ways for Amazon product release
The first one: if you resell products already on Amazon through retail, you don’t have to create brand new listings from scratch because Amazon doesn’t want to sell duplicate products. To resell products from other brands, you add products that are the same Listing as the other seller’s products.
Searching for a product on eBay, you may see the same product appear multiple times. While on Amazon, it will only appear 1 time.
The second: If one is selling a private label product (or a product that is not yet available on Amazon), one will need to create an entirely new listing, and this kind of takes many steps.
Amazon product release–Adding existing product to listing
Let’s say you have a wholesale account selling dog food and the item already has an active listing on Amazon.
Step 1: Amazon Product release- Getting the ASIN of the product item
The ASIN (Amazon Standard Identification Number) can be found at the listing URL or under “Product details”. Note: If you are selling a product with multiple attributes, make sure you use the correct attributes before copying the ASIN.
Step 2: Go to Catalog, then click “Add Products” in Seller Central and search for the ASIN.
Step 3: Select the condition of the product and click “Sell this product”.
Step 4: Create an offer
Enter the selling price (standard price) and item type (offer condition type), then select two delivery channels:
Merchant Fulfilled (FBM) or Fulfilled by Amazon (FBA).
If Merchant Fulfilled is selected, another option will prompt to add a quantity. If Fulfilled by Amazon is selected, the prompt will redirect you to create an FBA shipment.
- After adding the information, click “Save and finish” at the bottom.
- The product will now be added to the Manage Inventory section of Amazon Seller Central.
- If using the FBA method, the listing will take effect once Amazon receives the inventory.
