Listings Lounge: This sounds familiar! Common Acronyms seen in the Create and Manage Listings Category

Hello all!

For newcomers to the Amazon Seller Forums, the array of industry-specific acronyms tossed around can seem like a bewildering alphabet soup. But fear not - I've compiled a handy reference guide to decipher this shorthand lexicon, making it easier for novice sellers to navigate the lingo across Amazon and within these very forums:

  • BTG - Browse Tree Guide: The product taxonomy Amazon uses to categorize and organize products on the site.
  • FBA - Fullfillment By Amazon: This refers to the Amazon service where Amazon handles the storage, packaging, and shipping of your products.
  • FSA / HSA - Flexible Spending Account / Health Savings Account: For a product to be FSA/HSA eligible, it must fit within the guidelines provided by the IRS (508C IRS Code Section 213(d)) and be identified by the Special Interest Group for Inventory Standards (SIGIS) that interprets these IRS guidelines.
  • GTIN - Global Trade Item Number: This is a standardized product identifier like UPC, EAN, or ISBN that helps identify products globally.
  • SKU - Stock Keeping Unit: A unique identifier for each variation of a product that a seller tracks inventory for.

Do you have any questions about some of the common acronyms discussed?

If you want to continue this discussion in person you can visit our Forums Lounge at Accelerate in Seattle this year from September 17-19, 2024. You can also register virtually too! It's free and we will have a lot of exciting updates and conversations.

Best regards,

Hey Manny!

This is a great resource that I am sure a lot of new sellers will get some use out of. I bet @CR_Amazon would love to share this in their weekly New Seller Community Group digest. 🙌
