Step 4: Validate Sitnsell Listings

- Search Sitnsell and Amazon listings by UPC (Product_Id) or SKU and compare UPC/SKU/ASIN from Sitnsell listing with the Amazon listings.
- Delete the listing from Sitnsell if the UPC maps incorrectly.
- Add the ASIN to the Sitnsell listing if all information matches.
Step 5: Data Mapping: check Amazon Published listings not in Sitnsel Listings
- In Listing Export Request\Report tab copy columns A:S.
- Paste as Values Only into
Amazon Listings
, starting at cell G1. - In cell F2, insert the following formula:
=VLOOKUP(E2,G:Y,1,FALSE)
(remove 1. in front of = resulting from copy and paste) - Copy the formula in F2 down the column to match all rows in Column E.
- Freeze the top row.
- Apply filters to the entire sheet.
- In Column AC, filter to show only #N/A values.
- Ckech one by one all the ASIN1 in Amazon and Sitnsel. Double-check UPC/ASIN accuracy between platforms. Check if the item exists in Sitnsell and if the SKU matches between Sitnsell and Amazon. (remove with inventory when filter)
Step 6: Cross-Check Sitnsell Listings Missing in Amazon
- Copy the ASIN1 column from the
Amazon Listings Report
tab. - Paste it into the Sitnsell report, starting at cell AI1.
- In cell AH2, enter the formula:
=VLOOKUP(A2,AI:AI,1,FALSE)
- Copy the formula down to align with the values in Column AF.
- Freeze the top row.
Apply filters to the entire sheet.
In Column AH, filter to show only
#N/A
values.Review each unmatched
#N/A
entry:- If the ASIN on Amazon shows "Requires approval," or the listing is missing a UPC or ASIN, delete it from Sitnsell (don’t park it) with the appropiate message.
- For listings missing key details like color, size, etc, try to find a similar product's ASIN and update the Sitnsell listing. Remember: only the brand owner or approved resellers can usually edit product details on Amazon. If nothing is available, go ahead and delete it from Sitnsell.
- If you are able to make changes, check the listing again in a few hours. If nothing changes, go ahead and delete it from Sitnsell.
Mandatory Practices:
- The UPC/ASIN/SKU; they MUST match between Sitnsell and Amazon.
- To update an SKU on Amazon:
- Delete the existing listing from Amazon
- Update the SKU in the Sitnsell listing
- Save the changes
