Amazon

  If you have added inventory to FillZ and notice that the items in that file are not appearing in Amazon, you may want to check your export log to see if Amazon has rejected   your listing for any reason. To review your export file logs:

  2. Click Start.
  3. Click Market Status.
  4. Under "Amazon Marketplace Status", click show exports
  5. The files are listed chronologically. If you know when your item was added and updated, look for the export closest to that time and click on report-amazon-XXXXXXXX.txt to find the item. You may have to look through a few files before you find your item.

  If you see a "Warning Message" assigned to your listing, your item should still appear on Amazon, but they may have made some changes, such as truncating the title.

  If you see an "Error Message" assigned to your listing, Amazon did not post your item.
