List products for Fulfillment by Amazon

After you create a new listing for a product, you specify it as FBA inventory by changing the Fulfilled by value from Merchant to Amazon.

Tip: You can view your FBA inventory listings on Manage Inventory by clicking Amazon in the Fulfilled by section of the filters bar.

You can add products to your inventory individually or upload a list of products to create multiple listings at once. For more information, go to the following help pages:

Make sure that you adhere to the FBA listing requirements when filling out the details page for your offer. For more information, go to FBA product title requirements.

Change a listing to Fulfilled by Amazon

To change a listing to Fulfilled by Amazon, follow these steps:


  1. On Manage Inventory, select the items that you want to change to FBA.
  2. From the Action on selected drop-down list, click Change to fulfilled by Amazon.
    Tip: To change an FBA listing to a self-fulfilled listing, select Change to fulfilled by merchant.
  3. On the List as FBA page, click List as FBA to go to the Inventory Amazon Manages page or List as FBA and send to Amazon to begin creating a shipping plan. For more information, go to Create shipments with Send to Amazon.
Important: If you want to fulfil orders for these items yourself as well as offer them via FBA, you must create two listings, one for each fulfillment type.

List products for multi-channel fulfillment exclusively

You can list your Multi-Channel Fulfillment inventory without the products appearing for sale on Amazon by entering a Start selling date that is set to a later date and you create your product listing.

Important: If you have an Individual selling account, you must list your products for sale on Amazon in addition to filling orders from other channels. If you want to use Multi-Channel Fulfillment exclusively, and not list your products for sale on Amazon, you must sign up for a Professional account.

For more information, go to Multi-Channel Fulfillment: Fulfill orders for your sales channels.

Close a listing

When you close a listing, the status changes from Active to Inactive, and your product is no longer available for sale on Amazon. Your inventory for this product will remain in the Amazon fulfillment centers. You can relist your products, submit removal orders, or fill orders through other channels with Multi-Channel Fulfillment.


  1. On Manage Inventory, select the listings that you want to close.
  2. In the Action on selected drop-down list, select Close listing.

Delete a listing

When you delete a listing, any offers that are fulfilled by Amazon remain on your inventory list but are not available for buying on Amazon or for filling Multi-Channel Fulfillment orders. Inventory in the Amazon fulfillment centers will remain there until you submit a removal order. For more information, go to Remove inventory (overview).


  1. On Manage Inventory, select the listings that you want to close.
  2. In the Action on selected drop-down list, click Delete products and listings.
Important: Note that when you delete or close a listing, or change it from Fulfilled by Amazon to Fulfilled by Merchant, it might strand your inventory. Stranded inventory is FBA inventory in fulfillment centers that does not have an associated active offer and hence, is not available for sale on Amazon. When inventory is stranded, it requires either reactivating the listing or removing inventory. Stranded inventory under ‘Closed Listing’ or ‘Deleted Listing’ is eligible for auto-removals, and will be auto-removed based on your stranded auto-removal settings. To customize your automatic removal settings, go to Fix stranded inventory and click Edit automatic action settings.
