Amazon Selling
 

I notice there is a number of people on Amazon who have listings that other sellers cannot add their items to. Does anyone know why this is and how to do it?

Hello,

I'm not sure how it works where you are, but with Amazon.co.uk if you have been given the appropriate authority to sell a particular line of products, (in my case it is beauty products) then you should be able to create your own product if you cannot find it already listed.

For instance when i begin a new inventory entry, i always do a search to see if the item already exists in Amazon'z catalogue. if it does then I usually get back a mix of results for the exact same product some saying 'you are not authorised....' and others allowing me to 'sell mine' . I think this may be some sort of computer glitch.

Try to create a new item in the first instance and you will soon find out whethet or not you are authorised to sell that product if it allows you to save your new item in your inventory.

Hope this makes sense and good luck

Hi, yes I sell on Amazon UK too.

I thought I was authorised to sell anything, I mean my inventory is currently quite diverse. But for instance I can't sell on someone's Ipod Charger listing, but another similar listing I can.

I see a seller's store where you can't list against any of their items, and their inventory doesn't come up in a product search either.

If that makes sense?

Hi, yes it does.

The whole 'Amazon' thing can be quite confusing sometimes.
Are you able to create new listings from scratch? if the answer is yes, then i don't think it matters if you can't use another sellers listing information.

Sorry i can't be more helpfull

Well the reason I am very interested to know why is because I want to do the same. If you create a new listing, then before you know it half a dozen of your competitors are on the listing you created. If you can somehow list without this happening then that is a huge bonus.
