If youâre seeing a large list of items (like books requiring approval) and arenât sure which ones were actually sent to Amazon, this guide will help you narrow it down.
Sometimes Amazon shows all listed itemsâincluding ones that were never shippedâso itâs important to verify what was truly included in your FBA shipments.
Method 1: Check Your FBA Shipments (Most Accurate)
The best way to confirm what you actually sent is by reviewing your shipments.
Go to Shipping Queue / Manage Shipments in Seller Central
Open each shipment you created
Review the list of items and quantities inside
đ This shows exactly what was packed and sent to Amazon.
Method 2: Use Manage FBA Inventory
You can also check what Amazon currently has or is receiving:
Go to Inventory â Manage FBA Inventory
Use filters such as:
Inbound (items being received)
Available (items already checked in)
đ This helps you quickly see which items are actually in FBA.
Why This Matters
The lists you see in Seller Central (like âRequires Approvalâ) may include:
Items you listed but never shipped
Old or inactive listings
This can make it look like you have more affected inventory than you actually do.
Quick Tip â
Always verify your shipments before taking action (like removal or disposal), so you donât make changes to items that were never sent in.
