List Your Items for Sale on Your Web Site

If you have your own web site, you can mirror your Amazon listings there so you can reach your audience as well.

Amazon has millions of customers at their site looking for items, and getting your listing in front of them is important. If you have a web site, though, letting your own audience know about your sale items could be just as important. It’s not only the number of people that see a listing that matters, but getting the right person to see the listing.

The easiest way to point your web visitors to your sale items is to link to a list of all your open Marketplace items on Amazon. To find the link, visit your seller account (http://www.amazon.com/seller-account/) and click "View your Member Profile.”

Tip

The URL of your Member Profile page contains your Seller ID. The alphanumeric string following customer-glance is your unique ID number. Jot it down while you’re there because it’s necessary for the following hack.

On your member profile page, click "View Open Marketplace Listings.” The page lists all of your open sale items. This page is publicly viewable, so just copy the URL from the address bar of your browser and include it in an HTML link on your site like this:

<a href="http://s1.amazon.com/exec/varzea/ts/[RETURN]
customer-open-marketplace-items/your seller ID/">Buy my stuff!</a>

If you want to integrate beyond a link, you can list every item you’re selling on your site.
