There are also fewer restrictions for creating listings with SCP than Seller Central, which can potentially save you time and allow you to use MCF and Buy with Prime for a wider selection of your products.

- SCP listings don’t have brand restrictions; you can use MCF to fulfill products without authorization from brand owners.
- SCP listings don’t require a product identification code; you can use MCF to fulfill products that don’t have a registered Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) or Universal Product Code (UPC.)

- On the side menu, choose Inventory, and then Add product.
