SellerListingSearch

The SellerListingSearch operation enables you to search for items offered by specific sellers. You cannot use SellerListingSearch to look up items sold by merchants. To look up an item sold by a merchant, use ItemLookup or ItemSearch along with the MerchantId parameter.

SellerListingSearch returns the listing ID or exchange ID of an item. Typically, you use those values with SellerListingLookup to find out more about those items.

Each SellerListingSearch request returns up to ten items. By default, the first ten items are returned. You can use the ListingPage parameter to retrieve additional pages of (up to) ten listings.

To use Amazon Associates Web Service, sellers must have less than 100,000 items for sale. Sellers that have more items for sale should use, instead of Amazon Associates Web Service, other seller APIs, including the Amazon Inventory Management System, and the Merchant@ API.

	Note
	`SellerListingSearch` requires a seller ID, which means that you cannot use this operation to search across all sellers. Amazon Associates Web Service does not have a seller-specific operation that does this. To search across all sellers, use `ItemSearch` or `ItemLookup`.
