Uploading new or repriced items to Amazon is a simple task. Amazon has 3 upload modes. Each mode requires that a SKU be associated with each listing.

AMan Pro always performs uploads from the Pending Uploads area. Items get into Pending Uploads through a variety of means. You may use one of the many tools to copy from your Active Listings to Pending Uploads such as or from the section. You may also use in the same section to add items individually. Additionally, you may use the from the section to import new inventory from a file.

Once items are in Pending Uploads, you  upload the items with AMan Pro using the following steps:

• Go to the section.

• Display Pending Uploads by clicking on

• Select one, more or all of the items you wish to upload. All items may be selected by right clicking on any item in the grid and then clicking on from the menu displayed. Alternatively, you may simply select all items by pressing CTRL+A on your keyboard or clicking the button.

• The actual upload is performed by selecting the upload type from the Upload to Amazon menu on the toolbar
  
  
  There are multiple upload types available:

• • Upload Price Changes Only - This is the safest and fastest upload.. Only items whose prices have changed are upload and only the price is sent up. Other values such as quantity, comment etc are not uploaded. This means that if an order comes in during the pricing process, the wrong quantity will not be upload to Amazon. Please note that if you have made changes to fields such as quantity, comments etc, only the items that have changed prices will have those changes moved back to Active Listings. This upload may only be used with existing items.

  • Upload Prices Only - This option is safe for the same reasons that Upload Price changes only is. However, it is slower as all items selected will be uploaded and all changes are moved back to Active listings. However, no changes apart from prices are sent to Amazon. This is a safe upload.

  • Upload Shipping Methods + Prices - This upload should be used when changing the shipping methods being offered to buyers. This is a safe upload as no quantities are sent to Amazon when using this type of upload.

  • Upload Price and Quantity changes (Modify/Delete) - If you have only modified prices and/or quantities or have marked some items for deletion, this upload will upload those changes. However, any other field changes will not be transmitted to Amazon even though they are moved back to AMan's Active Listings. This is equivalent to Amazon's Modify/Delete upload. However, because the upload process takes some time and some orders may not have yet arrived into AMan Pro due to delays in Amazon informing sellers of orders, the quantities may differ from your actual quantities and may cause double listings. As this upload sends quantities to Amazon, this upload should be used with caution. This is because Amazon does not notify sellers of sales for up to 90 minutes and therefore AMan will only be as current as the last report imported plus the Amazon delay. Therefore any upload which contains quantities will run the risk of reopening a closed or sold listing. After performing this type of upload, you should check your sales for any items sold since the last report was generated.

  • Upload Quantity changes or Deletes only - This option is mainly used for  a Deletes only upload. As this upload sends quantities to Amazon, this upload should be used with caution. This is because Amazon does not notify sellers of sales for up to 90 minutes and therefore AMan will only be as current as the last report imported plus the Amazon delay. Therefore any upload which contains quantities will run the risk of reopening a closed or sold listing. After performing this type of upload, you should check your sales for any items sold since the last report was generated.

  • Upload New/Modified (Add/Modify/Delete) - This is equivalent to Amazon's Add/Modify/Delete. All changes and values will be transmitted to Amazon. Before the upload, AMan Pro will attempt to reconcile the quantities in your Active listings with the values in Pending Uploads to account for any orders that may have come in during the pricing process. However, because the upload process takes some time and some orders may not have yet arrived into AMan Pro due to delays in Amazon informing sellers of orders, the quantities may differ from your actual quantities and may cause double listings. Therefore it is recommended that you use this upload for new inventory only if possible. This upload should be used with caution with existing inventory.

  • Purge/Replace Upload - This upload will replace your existing inventory on Amazon with the inventory you select to upload. This upload type should be used with extreme caution as it will erase your existing Amazon inventory.

  • Add/Modify/Delete Upload after Import - This used when AMan does not have ASINs for items in Pending Uploads. Typically this is used to upload UPC/EAN values after Importing New Inventory which have not been priced. This is equivalent to Amazon's Add/Modify/Delete. All changes and values will be transmitted to Amazon. Before the upload, AMan Pro will attempt to reconcile the quantities in your Active listings with the values in Pending Uploads to account for any orders that may have come in during the pricing process. However, because the upload process takes some time and some orders may not have yet arrived into AMan Pro due to delays in Amazon informing sellers of orders, the quantities may differ from your actual quantities and may cause double listings. You use this upload for new inventory ONLY.

  • Purge/Replace Upload after Import - This used when AMan does not have ASINs for items in Pending Uploads. Typically this is used to upload UPC/EAN values after Importing New Inventory which have not been priced. This upload will replace your existing inventory on Amazon with the inventory you select to upload. This upload type should be used with extreme caution as it will erase your existing Amazon inventory.
     

• Once uploaded, AMan Pro will then offer to display the Amazon status page for the upload.
  
  
  After uploading new inventory or a Purge/Replace you should always reply Yes.

• The following dialog will appear:
  
  
  
  AMan will automatically refresh the display every minute until the upload has completed. Typically this will take a few minutes to complete. However, if there are issues at Amazon or Amazon is being slow this can take an hour or longer to complete. If the upload is taking a long time to complete, cancelling and reissuing the request is NOT recommended as this will further delay the upload as the first upload will need to complete before the 2nd upload is processed.
  The may be used to manually refresh the display. However, this will not speed up the generation of the report and is not recommended.
   

• Once the upload is complete at Amazon, the following will appear:
  
  
  
  Once it appears with the summary, you may view the upload log (and error log if it exists) using the View button.
   

• Once the upload is complete and you have added new items, you should see Generating and Importing an Open Listings report to refresh the listings on AMan.
