By Staff Writer
Amazon India has announced significant changes to its listing requirements for all product types starting Jun 17, 2024. In a recent announcement on Seller Central, it said sellers must adhere to updated requirements when creating or editing new listings. The company further said that the new updates aim to improve the shopping experience by providing more accurate and comprehensive product information.
Key Changes and Implementation Timeline
The changes will roll out gradually to all sellers between June 17, 2024, and July 31, 2024. According to Amazon, these updates will help reduce listing errors and ensure that necessary attributes are marked as "required."

Impact on Existing Listings
Amazon ensured sellers that these changes would not affect existing listings. However, when sellers edit an existing listing, they may need to provide additional information to comply with the new requirements. Sellers can continue to update prices and inventory levels using the ‘Manage Inventory’ page or relevant templates.
Updates to the "Add Products" Page
For sellers using the "Add Products" page, updated requirements will be displayed when creating or editing listings. Should sellers encounter a required attribute that isn’t relevant to their product, they can alert Amazon by hovering over the "?" icon next to the attribute and selecting the "Irrelevant attribute" option. This feedback will help Amazon determine if the attribute should be made optional or removed.
Changes for "Add Products via Upload"
Sellers using the "Add Products via Upload" feature can upgrade to new listing templates with updated attribute requirements. Upon selecting a product category, a banner will appear, providing a link to download the new template. Sellers can still use the previous templates for their listings by clicking the toggle button at the top right of the banner. Amazon has assured that at least 30 days’ notice will be given before the updated template becomes the default option.
Encouraging Seller Feedback
Amazon values seller feedback on these updates and will monitor Seller Forums for any reports of issues. A spokesperson from Amazon emphasized, "We welcome your feedback on these updates and will monitor Seller Forums for reports of any issue."
For more detailed information, sellers can visit the `Updated attributes within the Add Products and Add Products via Upload` section on the Seller Central platform.
