SellerListingLookup

Description

The SellerListingLookup operation enables you to return information about a seller's listings, including product descriptions, availability, condition, and quantity available. The response also includes the seller's nickname. Each request requires a seller ID.

You can also find a seller's items using ItemLookup. There are, however, some reasons why it is better to use SellerListingLookup:

  • SellerListingLookup enables you to search by seller ID.

  • SellerListingLookup returns much more information than ItemLookup .

This operation only works with sellers who have less than 100,000 items for sale. Sellers that have more items for sale should use, instead of Product Advertising API, other APIs, including the Amazon Inventory Management System, and the Merchant@ API.

Availability

All locales.
