Welcome back to the Listings Lounge!
Need a snapshot of your Amazon listings? As a Professional seller, you can generate inventory reports to see a snapshot of your listed items and their current status. Here's what you need to know.
Important Tip: Inventory numbers update as customers make purchases. For the most accurate picture, we recommend regularly comparing your Amazon orders and inventory reports with your own tracking systems.
Creating an Inventory Report
Here's how to generate a report:
1. Head to Reports and select "Inventory Reports"
2. Pick your preferred report type from the drop-down menu
3. Click "Request Report"
4. Allow 15-45 minutes for generation
5. Once you see "Ready" under "Check Report Status & Download," click "Download"
6. Save as a text file (tab delimited, *.txt)
7. Open it in Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Access, or your preferred spreadsheet program
Good to Know:
* Professional selling account required
* Reports are available for 30 days
* After 30 days, they're automatically cleared from your account
Finding Category-Specific Reports
To access previously uploaded category reports:
1. Go to Reports > Inventory Reports
2. Look for "Category Listing Report" under "Select Report Type"
3. Choose the category you want to download
Note: If the Category Listing Report option isn't visible in your account, contact Seller Support to request enabling reverse feeds for your category-specific inventory reports.
