It is very easy to list similar items by duplicating them on Amazon. Amazon has a copy listing feature to allow you to create duplicate listings for similar items. Suppose, you have similar items and you want to create individual listings for them because they have some significant differences. In that case, you can easily do them by duplicating a similar item. Throughout this article, we will explain every step to make it easy for you to understand all the aspects of duplicating an Amazon listing.
To make things easy for us, we take western boots as an example. We do sell huge western boots. Sometimes we need to create a listing only for a pair of boots. We find a similar boot and copy the listing. We check similar information and add other information. We save the listing. Generally, within 15 minutes we find our live listing on Amazon. Yes, it is that much easier to create a duplicate listing.

Let’s get started.
First, log in to your seller central, hover over “Inventory” and click on “Manage Inventory”.
Search for the product which you want to copy. Click on the “Copy listing”.
Check the similar information, here we are checking brand, item type, material, and gender. Those are similar and we do not need to change them. We needed to replace different information like product id, title, size, width, and color.
We needed to provide a “Shoe Size Age Group” because these are the mandatory fields.
We have provided all of the vital information, but we are unable to save the listing. Because we have to add “Offer”, showing with a white exclamation in a red circle.
On the offer page, you will have to add “Seller SKU”. If you do not add SKU, it will be automatically generated. You have to also add “Price”, “Quantity”, “Item Condition” and “Fulfilment Channel”. Now you are unlocked to create your listing by clicking the “Save and Finish” button. Turn on “More attributes” to add image and description.
Add your product images here. Buyers can not see the items physically here. So the more images you add, give them a more clear picture of the products.
Add the description and bullet points on the “Description” page.
Do not forget to click on the “Save and Finish” button otherwise, you will lose your added data.
Now your item is ready and you will find it in your inventory within 15 minutes. You can “Edit” your listing anytime.
Your item is live on Amazon also. Your buyers can place their orders now.
That’s all the process. Please do not hesitate to knock us if you face any issues. When you need to create many items you can create them using the feed. But only for one item, it is the best choice to copy a listing. Let us know if you have any other ideas. We are always here to listen to you.
