Sometimes you may want to switch an item from FBA (Fulfilled by Amazon) to MF/FBM (Merchant Fulfilled). This means instead of Amazon storing and shipping the item, you will handle fulfillment yourself.
This can be useful if:
Your FBA inventory is unavailable
You want more control over shipping
You no longer want to use FBA for a specific item
π§ Step 1: Go to Manage All Inventory
Log in to your Amazon Seller Central account
Navigate to:
βInventory β Manage All Inventory
π Step 2: Find the FBA Listing
Search for the item you want to convert
Locate the current FBA listing
βοΈ Step 3: Create a Merchant Fulfilled Offer
Click the dropdown arrow beside the listing
Select:
Add another condition, or
Sell this product
π This creates a separate offer for the same ASIN.
π Step 4: Change the Fulfillment Method
During the setup process:
Choose:
ββI will ship this item myselfβ
π This changes the listing to MF/FBM.
π¦ Step 5: Enter Quantity and Price
Add your available quantity
Set your selling price
Configure shipping settings if needed
πΎ Step 6: Save the Listing
Click Save and Finish
Amazon will now create a merchant-fulfilled version of the listing.
β οΈ Important Notes
Converting to MF does not automatically remove FBA inventory
FBA and MF offers can exist at the same time under one ASIN
Make sure you manage inventory carefully to avoid overselling
π‘ Using AccelerList
If you are using AccelerList:
Create a new MF batch for the item
Use your MF SKU template if applicable
Verify the fulfillment type before listing
β Summary
To convert an FBA item to MF:
Open Manage Inventory
Create a new offer
Select merchant fulfillment
Save the listing
This allows you to fulfill orders yourself while still selling the same product on Amazon.
