Easy Fix Template

The Easy Fix Template is an inventory file with a subset of fields that highlight the missing information for certain SKUs. You can use the Easy Fix Template to fix the listing quality alerts that are displayed in your seller account. You will receive this file by e-mail only.

The Easy Fix Template is pre-filled with the SKUs in your inventory that are missing important information (description, brand, and image). Provide the missing information for the cells highlighted in yellow.

Note: The information in the Easy Fix Template may be up to one week old, so you might find information for listings that have already been updated or that no longer exist in your catalog.

For reference, the Easy Fix Template also includes informative fields, like the ASIN and Product Title. These fields will not modify the reference or title of your products, and existing data for your products won’t be affected either. The template is a Consumer Electronics template; however, the category for your products will not be updated.

In the Brand column, the highlighted cells might include a brand hint. If brand information is available in the Amazon catalog, we will provide this information as a suggestion.
