Amazon's Updated Add Products Tool Now Lets Sellers List Up to 500 Offers in Bulk
Amazon has upgraded its Add Products listing tool to support bulk operations, letting sellers search for and list up to 500 product offers at once using inline editing or pre-filled spreadsheet templates.
Overview
Amazon upgraded its Add Products tool to enable sellers to search for and add up to 500 product offers simultaneously, replacing the previous single-product workflow. The update includes inline bulk listing for up to 20 products within Seller Central and spreadsheet-based listing for up to 500 products using pre-filled Excel templates, focusing on essential offer information like price and quantity.
Key Points
- Bulk product search — Search for multiple products at once using identifiers like name, UPC, EAN, ISBN, or ASIN instead of one at a time
- Inline bulk listing (20 products) — Search up to 20 products, add price and quantity details directly within Seller Central, and submit all offers in single action
- Spreadsheet-based listing (500 products) — Search up to 500 products at once, generate pre-filled Excel template, complete offline, and upload through spreadsheet feature
- Minimal details required — Streamlined workflow focuses on essential offer information, removing friction from listing process
Who Benefits Most
- Wholesale sellers — Sellers regularly adding hundreds of new SKUs see biggest time savings when listing offers on existing catalog products
- Arbitrage sellers — Retail and online arbitrage sellers frequently sourcing new products in batches benefit from processing multiple listings per session
- Private label sellers across marketplaces — Those selling across multiple Amazon marketplaces or managing variations use bulk search for new regions or catalog expansion
Seller Impact
- Access through Add Products page — Navigate to Add Products in Seller Central and begin searching for existing products using supported identifiers
- Use pre-filled templates — For large-scale operations, spreadsheet option eliminates manual product data lookup and requires only adding offer details
- Batch workflow for restocking — Paste or type multiple ASINs/identifiers into search tool to handle all on single screen during restocking or wholesale onboarding
