First time seller with Amazon and creating a new product to list is an absolute nightmare!!
Just signed up to sell with Amazon and so far the whole experience has been an absolute nightmare. From initial sign-up to getting verified and re-verified, then having to verify payment with all EU countries with my credit card which Barclaycard is now screaming at me for possible fraud so had to reply to them to unblock my card!. After all this fuss I eventually managed to choose the option to list a new product and I thought finally!! or so I thought!
So far 6 attempts and it's still not listing. Having gone through the whole process every single time there is always an exclamation mark which needs attention so I solve one and move on to the next. It has taken me an hour so far to just list one item and still no luck. I eventually got to the last screen to submit and now Amazon has gone back to the first screen stating that they had found a better product category listing for my item! No the one I had selected was perfectly fine!! so instead of giving me the option of confirming my own product category it comes back with two which bears no relation to my listing! Regardless of which either one then completely clears all the form listing and I have lost everything! I have now gone back 3 times and it does exactly the same thing! I GIVE UP!!
Seriously compared to eBay who the hell designed this system. This is one of the worst selling platforms I have come across.

Sadly a lot of fellow sellers would agree with you, and many of us long-time sellers are now thinking of leaving. As a new seller there are so many metrics, rules, regulations and policies to adhere to, and one slight misdemeanor and your account gets suspended.
If I was to be totally honest, if your account has been fully verified, I would close it and sell elsewhere, but be warned, you cannot close an unverified account, and you won't be able to open another Amazon account, ever, especially if using any of the same data/info. Selling on Amazon is a real minefield nowadays.

The problem is amazon works on a catalogue system so is it possible its finding your item is already listed? It would help if you told us what you were listing.

There is so so much to learn ! Try seller universe, it has been suggested before. It will take TIME ! and probably mistakes which you will hopefully learn from, we have !
Best of luck

Welcome to Amazon! lol
Go sell the product elsewhere, you're most likely to just end up losing time and money on here unless you have a truly unique product

Give it up before you start, amazon are the worst thieves you will ever come across.
The will refund buyers for fun, change your listings and bully you into submission - all against their own rules.
You will find better luck on ebay, onbuy and pretty much any other selling platform in the world.

Welcome to Amazon. You will get used to frustration and their inability to perform simple tasks as the seller would like. Do not give up yet though: give it a while and you will overcome most of the problems yourself by creating work-arounds etc. Seller Help will be no help - as you can see from all the forum entries. I hope you eventually make lots of money - but keep eBay going too and have a look at things in a couple of months to make comparisons. You are right though; the Amazon 'system' is not fit for sellers, but it is not designed to be - it is designed to be fit for Amazon!
