Manage Inventory provides you with tools for searching, viewing, and updating your product and inventory listing information.
To view your inventory, go to the Inventory tab and select Manage Inventory.
To better help you distinguish your inventory at a glance, we display extra information in the Product Name field for some categories.
To customize your page view, click Preferences at the top of the Manage Inventory page. You can personalize your page view in the following ways:
Choose whether to show active listings by default or all listings.
Show the edit button on the left or right side of the page.
See Match Low Price for more information about this feature.
Select the number of results you want to see on each page in Manage Inventory.
Available only if you have selected Item/Weight-Based shipping model on the Shipping Settings page. Check this box if you want the lowest shipping charges to be displayed in the Your Price and Low Price columns. When checked, Match Low Price uses total price (item price + shipping) in the Low Price column for comparison. When unchecked, matching is based on item price only.
Select your default sort order from the drop-down menu.
Select which columns to show or hide. Columns with (Recommended) specified are the defaults. The values you select here are used together with search filters to customize the listing table's column display.
To sort your inventory, click any of the highlighted column headers.
To filter your inventory, select Listing Status drop-down menu in Manage Inventory:
All listings, regardless of status
All open listings
All listings that are either out of stock, set to "inactive," have a quantity of zero, closed due to a pending order, closed at your request, or blocked by Amazon
Use Add a Product to create a new listing by matching to a product detail page that already exists in the Amazon catalog. You can also create a new detail page for a product that doesn't yet exist in the catalog and then create a listing for that product. For more information, see Add a Product.
After you create a listing, use Manage Inventory to make changes to listing or product data.
The Copy Listing feature allows you to create a new product detail page using information from an existing listing.
For example, you have 3 different versions of the same toy. Each version has a different product identifier (UPC, EAN or JAN), but otherwise shares the manufacturer, brand, general description, and audience (as shown in the table below). This function allows you to create a detail page for one of the products versions, then use the Copy Listing feature to quickly create pages for the other two versions.
