Introduction

Amazon has opened the door for Indian businesses to sell internationally, but manually listing each SKU across multiple marketplaces can slow you down.

If you want to list hundreds of SKUs, expand to multiple countries, or fulfill bulk orders for wholesalers, bulk listing is the fastest way to scale.

This blog walks you through Amazon’s bulk listing process — from downloading inventory flat files to optimizing for global reach — with tips from WalBayZon’s experience helping sellers go international.

1. Why Bulk Listing on Amazon is a Game Changer

✅ Save Time & Effort

Instead of creating product listings one by one, you can upload hundreds of SKUs at once using Amazon’s bulk upload feature.

✅ Consistency Across Marketplaces

Amazon’s inventory templates keep your titles, bullet points, and attributes consistent across US, UK, UAE, SG, and other marketplaces.

✅ Unlock Wholesale Opportunities

Bulk-ready catalogs make it easier for business buyers on Amazon Business to purchase in higher volumes with quantity discounts.

✅ Faster Global Expansion

You can go live on multiple Amazon marketplaces quickly — testing demand and scaling where sales pick up.

2. Pre-Requisites for Bulk Listing on Amazon

Before you start, make sure you have:

✅ Amazon Global Selling account enabled for international marketplaces
✅ UPC/EAN/GTIN barcodes or Brand Registry (for GTIN exemption)
✅ Complete product data: titles, bullet points, descriptions, images, dimensions, weight
✅ Export compliance: IEC code, GST details, shipping-ready packaging
✅ Competitive pricing strategy: factor in duties, shipping, and Amazon referral + FBA fees

3. Step-by-Step: How to Bulk List on Amazon

Step	Action	Pro Tip
1	Go to Inventory > Add Products via Upload in Seller Central	Choose the correct Amazon marketplace first (e.g. Amazon.com, Amazon.ae)
2	Download the Inventory Flat File for your product category	Use Amazon’s template builder to get the most updated file
3	Fill in product details in Excel	Keep titles under 200 characters, follow Amazon’s style guide

4. Best Practices to Optimize Bulk Listings

Use marketplace-specific keywords(Example: “color” for US, “colour” for UK)
Upload high-quality images — 3000x3000 px, pure white background, lifestyle images in secondary slots.
Enable Amazon Business quantity discounts to attract bulk buyers.
Consider FBA export programs to simplify international shipping.
Localize pricing & offers per country.

5. Managing Orders After Bulk Listing

Once your bulk listings go live:

Track inventory across all marketplaces to avoid overselling.
Monitor Buy Box eligibility and optimize pricing.
Use Amazon’s business reports to identify best-selling SKUs per region.
Leverage advertising campaigns to promote bulk listings — Sponsored Products + Sponsored Brands.

Issue	Cause	Solution
SKU Errors	Incorrect formatting or missing data	Use the “Check Your File” tool before upload
