Amazon.co.za listing kit

Everything you need to get products onto Amazon.co.za without errors or suppressed listings: a prep sheet, Amazon's current content and image rules in one guide, a pre-upload checklist, and a listing checker that reads your sheet and tells you what to fix before you upload.

What's inside

• Listing prep sheet: a CSV with one row per product, parent or variation, and a guide to all 26 columns.
• Content and image rules: titles (including the 75-character limit from 27 July 2026), bullets, descriptions, search terms, images, barcodes and GTIN exemptions, variations, banned claims, category approvals and the South African certificates (ICASA, NRCS, SAHPRA) that can apply, each rule with its source.
• Pre-upload checklist: what a spreadsheet cannot show, from the main image background to approvals, certificates, packed measurements and the first upload.
• Listing checker: a script that checks every row against Amazon's limits and word lists (title length and characters, bullet rules, banned and environmental claims, search term bytes, barcode check digits, image links and pixel sizes, prices and variation families) and writes a report of what to fix and what to check by eye.
• Agent skill: lets Claude Code or another AI agent run the checker and draft fixes from your own product facts.
• Worked example: eight sample rows and the checker's report on them.

Who it is for

Sellers starting on Amazon.co.za, brands moving a catalogue across from Takealot or their own shop, and anyone who lists products for clients and wants fewer errors and rewrites.
