Dear Amazon.com zShops sellers,
Over the years, Amazon.com has worked to expand selection by enabling sellers to list their inventory alongside Amazons within the product detail page. This has resulted in unparalleled selection for customers and a great way for sellers to reach tens of millions of customers.
Since launching Amazon Marketplace, weve learned that customers prefer to shop for items via the product detail page. Accordingly, we ask that merchants with zShops listings migrate to sell in Amazon Marketplace. Sellers should continue selling using Amazon Marketplace listings to list their items on the most valuable real estate for selling on the web: Amazon product detail pages.
What does this mean to you?
For your continued selling success, we encourage you to keep selling on Amazon using Marketplace listings. Starting Tuesday, October 24, 2006, we will be replacing all current zShops Storefronts with a new Storefront exclusively featuring your Marketplace listings. On that date, customers will no longer be able to find your zShops listings and your Marketplace listings will appear in your new Storefront. Your zShops listings will still be visible from your Seller Account page for about one week from that date after which they will be removed.
Before Tuesday, October 24 2006, we encourage you to re-list your zShops listings as Marketplace listings to benefit from the new Storefront. The following tools make it easy for you to continue selling on Marketplace--you can create product detail pages and list your items in bulk or one item at a time without using zShops listings:
You can create book detail pages (including pre-ISBN) or list books in bulk in Marketplace with the latest release of the Book Loader tool.
You can create product detail pages for all other products, one at a time, using the Create a Product Detail Page tool.
Please note: Your existing zShops listings and zShops Storefront will continue to be available on Amazon.com until October 24, 2006 when your current zShops Storefront URL will be automatically redirected to your new Storefront.
