To delete items from SellerEngine Plus Inventory manually:
Notes: If you delete items you currently list on Amazon in this way, they will not automatically be deleted from Amazon unless you upload your listings to Amazon with the Delete flag set.
For FBA users: Items will be displayed in shipments only if they are contained in the inventory (0 quantity items will not be added to shipments). Deleting an item from the Inventory will trigger a blank space in the shipment that contains it when opened in the Shipment view. To obtain full shipment content, download listings from Amazon, then sync the shipment.
- Select the item(s) you want to delete.
- Delete the item(s) using one of the following methods:
- Look in the toolbar near the top of the window and find the black x with the word 'Delete' next to it. Click on the x. When prompted, confirm that you want to delete the item. Note: You can choose not to be prompted from the Preferences going to File>Preferences>Confirmations.
- From the Inventory menu, choose 'Delete Selected Item(s)'.
To automatically delete your Merchant Fulfilled items from your inventory when they have sold:
- From the File menu, select 'Preferences'.
- In the Preferences window, click 'Orders Settings'.
- Make sure the check box is set to 'Delete item from inventory when quantity reaches 0' (You will need the 'Decrease quantity [...]' checkbox checked as well, and will probably want to download your orders before uploading as well, so you don't relist items that have sold.)
- Click 'OK'.
- When you download your orders, the quantities will be reset and items deleted as necessary.
To set the quantity of an item to 0:
- In the inventory view, look for the 'Inventory Quantity' column. If it is not showing, customize your column display so that it shows.
- Click on the number which shows the quantity for your item in the inventory quantity column.
- Use the small arrow which appears to set your quantity to 0.
To delete listing(s) from Amazon:
- In the inventory view, make sure the 'Export to Amazon' flag is set for all items that you want to list, update, or delete on Amazon, and not set for those listings you do not wish to modify.
- To delete an item from your Amazon MFN inventory while keeping it in your inventory list, set the 'Delete From Amazon' flag for that item.
Note: The item will not delete from Amazon if the 'Export to Amazon' flag is not also checked. - Upload your inventory to Amazon .
- Listings with a quantity of 0 will be deleted from Amazon.
- Listings with both the 'Delete From Amazon' flag and the 'Export to Amazon' flag will be deleted from Amazon.
Important Note: At this time you cannot completely remove the listings with SellerEngine. The "Delete from Amazon" option is actually closing the listings, so that you can reuse the SKUs later by relisting.
If you want to do a complete purge we suggest you to do it through your Amazon account directly, using the "Upload Multiple Items"
section.
Or, you can still use SellerEngine with the following workaround:
- mark all items for deletion in SellerEngine (the Delete from Amazon column);
- export inventory to file using the Export menu > Export Inventory to File > Amazon Uploader, Finish;
- open the text file you just exported with a text editor (Wordpad) and replace:
" d "
with
" x "
in the Add-Delete column;
- save the file;
- login to your Amazon account, Upload Multiple Items section, select the "Type of file you are uploading: " as "Inventory Loader" , browse and select the file on your computer with the inventory you just exported from SE and edited and press "Upload Now"
Check the upload status report in few minutes, for any errors. If there are no errors, all your SKUs should be removed from the Amazon account at this time.
