Preparing FBM Inventory

Detailed instructions for listing on Amazon FBA / FBM

Overview

Once you've secured your first products, you can begin listing them. When it comes to Amazon, you won't be making brand new listings similar to eBay/Mercari/Facebook. Instead, you'll find the existing listing on Amazon that matches your item, and you'll add your inventory to that. We'll go over that below.

Finding the right ASIN

Head to https://www.amazon.com/ to get started. From here, find your product by typing the name into the search bar:

Look through the catalog and find the product that best matches yours. You can use tools like SellerAmp to help determine the best listing for you to use. Once you've found the right product, copy the ASIN. The ASIN is generally 10 letters/digits, and can be found in various places on the page, including the URL:

Product Search

Once you've got the ASIN, head on over to the Product Search page, and enter your ASIN into the search bar:

Confirm the item is correct, select your item condition (New), then click "Sell this product".

Create Your Listing

First, make sure to enable all attributes on the left-hand side of the screen:

There are a few key fields you must fill out, and they've been highlighted below:

Fill out your price, quantity, and the item condition. Then proceed to the Handling Time. The lowest handling time you can choose is 1 day. This means if a customer buys an item today, you MUST ship it out by tomorrow (before 5PM). It is highly recommended to set this to "1", otherwise your items will ship later than other sellers, causing you to miss out on sales. Only use higher handling times when you absolutely must. Lastly, tell Amazon how you plan to ship the item. The first option is FBM, and the second is FBA.

That's it! Your listing is ready. Click Save and finish

Listings generally take up to 20 minutes to appear, and you'll get an email when it's ready.
