Question
Can I create 2 listings of the same product so they can be fulfilled differently (e.g. FBA and FBS)?
Answer
A strategy occasionally employed by sellers is to have 2 different listings of the same product where one could be fulfilled by Amazon and the other could be fulfilled by seller. Therefore, when the stock of one listing is depleted, the other listing takes over the buy box as the "backup" stock.
Unfortunately at this time, each seller account must have a unique barcode for every product in their catalog. Therefore, we don't allow the creation of two listings for the same exact product so that one can be fulfilled by 3PL (e.g. Amazon) and the other can be fulfilled by seller. We have had several sellers ask for this feature and is one that we plan to offer soon.
