Create listings one at a time in Seller Central
Under the Catalog drop-down menu of your seller account in Seller Central, click the Add Products feature to create a new listing by matching to an existing product detail page in the Amazon catalog. You can also create a new detail page for a product that does not yet exist yet in the catalog and then create a listing for that product. For more information, go to Add one product at a time.
Amazon chooses what information to include on the product detail page based on manufacturer and seller contributions. For more information, go to Get to know the product detail page.
This is a very easy way to add a few listings or product pages; however, you cannot use this option to create multiple listings at a time or with some product categories. For information regarding bulk listing creation, go to Create listings in bulk.
Important: For a newly registered seller, it might take 90 minutes or more after registering in order to list products for sale on Amazon.

Copy a listing in Seller Central
The Copy listing feature allows you to create a new product detail page using information from an existing listing.
For example, you have three different versions of the same toy. Each version has a different product identifier, such as UPC, EAN, or JAN but shares the same manufacturer, brand name, product description, and target audience. You can create a detail page for one of the product versions and then use the Copy listing feature to quickly create pages for the other two versions. For more information, refer to the table below.
To copy a listing, do the following, in Seller Central:
On the Inventory menu, select Manage All Inventory.
Find the listing that you want to copy.
Select Copy listing from the drop-down menu in the same row as the listing. A new page opens to update your information. The template will be populated with the product attributes from the original listing except for its Contribution SKU and product ID.
Enter the unique Contribution SKU, External product ID, and any other attributes specific to the listing you are creating.
Click Save and finish.
Edit a listing in Seller Central
Typically, changes you make to product information appear on your page within five minutes. However, some updates can take up to six hours. Product descriptions that are longer than 500 characters are typically updated at 8:00 a.m. (Pacific Standard Time) the following day. However, images may take up to 24 hours to appear on a product detail page.
To edit product details for an existing listing, in Amazon Seller Central do the following:
On the Inventory menu, select Manage All Inventory.
Select the Active status filter above the product list.
Find the listing you want to edit, and select Edit from the drop-down menu in the same row. A new page opens to update your information.

Scroll to the bottom and click Save and finish.
Manage pricing in Seller Central
The Manage Pricing page in Amazon Seller Central allows you to update prices on any active listings, either one by one or in batches. It includes columns most commonly used for making price updates, but you can change the columns you want to see by clicking Preferences. See Set your Manage Inventory page preferences to customize the page view of Manage Inventory.
The Price column on the Manage Inventory page indicates product prices. The shipping charge is displayed in Price for active listings only.
Note: Shipping indicates the lowest shipping charge available for a product, based on your shipping settings. When you sort by the Price column, the shipping charge is not taken into account.
Set minimum and maximum price limits
If you have listings that are deactivated because of potential pricing errors, you can confirm and update your prices by clicking Price Alerts tab and entering limits in Your Maximum Price and Your Minimum Price fields for each deactivated listing.
To set price limits, you can add minimum and maximum price columns to your Manage Pricing or Manage Inventory view.
