Product Attributes & Shipping Information

Product Attributes & Shipping Information

Maintaining accurate Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) information helps you clearly list products with multiple variations by describing their attributes. SKUs help you keep track of products that are available in different sizes, colours, flavours, etc., included in one listing. They appear as variations of the original product that customers can choose based on their preferences. For example, a t-shirt (product) with varying sizes (each different size is an SKU).
We may ask you for SKU information on colour, size, pattern, and other key attributes when listed certain types of products.

  • Providing proof of a product's regulatory compliance
  • Informing customers of any potential safety risks related to a product's functionality and use
We may ask you to fill in Mandatory Product Attributes for certain product categories on the Seller Center listing page.
