Overview

Amazon's Category Listings Report is a powerful Seller Central tool that lets you download your existing SKU data as editable spreadsheets. Sellers can modify these spreadsheets offline and re-upload them to update listings in bulk, making it one of the most efficient ways to manage large catalogs without editing listings one by one.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Available by default for Professional sellers — Professional selling accounts can access the Category Listings Report directly from Seller Central without any additional setup.
• Individual sellers need to request access — If you have an Individual selling account, you'll need to contact Amazon Seller Support to get one-time access granted. Once enabled, there is no expiration date on the access.
• Bulk editing capability — The report downloads your product data into spreadsheets that you can edit locally and then upload back to Amazon to apply changes across multiple listings simultaneously.
• Reflects your most recent submissions — The report pulls the latest data you've submitted, regardless of which listing tool you originally used to create or edit your SKUs.
• Processing time varies — Depending on catalog size, report generation can take up to three days. Larger catalogs will naturally take longer.

How to Generate the Report

To create a Category Listings Report, navigate to the Inventory menu in Seller Central and select the appropriate reporting option. From the dropdown menu, choose the Category Listings Report type. You can use additional optional dropdown filters to narrow the data included in the report — for example, filtering by listing status. Once your selections are made, click the button to initiate report generation. You do not need to remain on the page while the report processes; simply return later to download the completed file when it's ready.

What the Report Includes

The Category Listings Report contains all product and offer data for your SKUs, including pricing and quantity information. It only includes data that you have submitted — it does not pull in additional data associated with ASINs from other sellers or Amazon's catalog. By default, the report includes active, inactive, and incomplete listings, though you can use the status filter to narrow results. Notably, deleted SKUs are not included in the report. This makes the report a comprehensive snapshot of your current catalog as Amazon has it on file.
