Inventory file templates

To create an inventory file, you need a copy of the Inventory Loader you plan to use. If you are listing items already in Amazon's catalogue, you can use the Inventory Loader template. Use the Bookloader if you do not have the ISBN, UPC or EAN for a book or the book is pre-ISBN, and we will match your book to our catalog based on the data you provide.

An Inventory Loader is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet containing the columns needed to describe the products you are listing. It also contains definitions for each column. Modify or delete your existing inventory on Amazon by only submitting SKU, Price and Quantity in your upload.
