Getting started is simple

Step-by-step guides and answers to common questions from the Go2Lister community.

Getting Started

Setting Up Your Account

Go to the Go2Lister website and click "Get Started". Enter your full name, email address and desired password. Select your preferred subscription (Annually / Monthly). Complete your contact information and enter your payment details. Annual memberships are charged immediately; monthly memberships begin with a 14-day free trial. Click "Complete Membership" — that's it! You now have access to Go2Lister's full suite of powerful features.

Connect to Your Amazon Account

On the left side of the page, click "Profile" → "Connection" then click the "Connect to Amazon" button. You will be redirected to Amazon Seller Central to complete the authorization process. Once authorized, Go2Lister will sync your account data using the official Amazon SP-API.

Understanding the Dashboard

The Dashboard gives you access to Batches (Create, History, Settings) and Reports (Sales). Use "Create" to start a new FBA or Merchant Fulfilled batch. "History" shows all in-progress and completed batches. "Settings" lets you configure defaults: shipping address, item conditions, custom SKUs, pricing rules, and label printing preferences.

How To Create Your First Batch

Click "Create" in the Batches section. Choose your fulfillment type (FBA or Merchant Fulfilled). Set your pricing rule and "Listed By" field. For FBA: set "Shipping From" address, who labels the items, packing type, and box content settings. Once your batch settings are configured, start scanning items — Go2Lister queues them for you so you can scan at full speed.

Featured workflow

List books on Amazon with the 1 Box 1 Touch method

Get your labels ready, scan each book, apply its FNSKU, and place it directly into the shipping box. This workflow keeps every book moving from a prepared pile to a labeled FBA shipment with less handling.

Before you start: connect your Amazon selling account to Go2Lister and confirm the books are eligible to sell. FBA means Amazon stores your inventory and fulfills customer orders.

01Watch 1:06–3:47

Set up your listing station

Have your Go2Lister-connected Amazon account, computer, wired scanner, thermal printer, labels, sturdy boxes, packing paper, and a scale within reach.

✓Use small labels for FNSKUs and 4 × 6 labels for the shipment.
✓Start with a box around 16 × 12 × 12 inches and enough packing material to keep books from moving.

02Watch 8:48–11:58

Prepare the Kitchen before you list

Prepare books while sourcing so Amazon has time to create the listing identifiers you need for the listing session.

✓Enable the conditions you expect to use, such as Like New, Very Good, and Good.
✓Scan while sourcing, review Scans, and keep each physical book identifiable until its condition shows Ready.

03Watch 3:25–5:41

Create your FBA batch

Choose Fulfillment by Amazon, confirm the printer and label size, and print a test label before the batch gets moving.

✓Set pricing, Listed By, Ship From, packing type, box contents, source, and buy cost.
✓Use one active box per batch to start. Finish that box before creating the next one.

04Watch 4:38–8:08

Grade and stage the books

Inspect the cover, spine, pages, writing, and damage before selecting a condition and adding a useful condition note.

✓Use the condition that matches the actual copy. Very Good is only a starting point, not a default for every book.
✓Stack books barcode-up and separate books with covered or damaged barcodes.

05Watch 0:00–0:51 and 5:41–8:48

Scan, label, and pack

Confirm the condition, buy cost, and active box, then scan in a steady rhythm while labels print.

✓Keep books in scan order and match every FNSKU to the correct title and condition.
✓Place the label flat over the existing ISBN barcode, then put the labeled book directly into Box 1.

06Watch 7:06–7:40 and 11:58–13:25

Handle books that need attention

Keep exceptions from slowing the whole batch down. Set aside books that are not ready and reconcile them before shipping.

✓If a barcode will not scan, match the author, edition, format, and ISBN before choosing a search result.
✓For restricted books, request approval when offered; remove the item from the FBA shipment if Amazon does not approve it.

07Watch 13:25–17:57

Review prices before you submit

Review unusually high or low prices instead of trusting an outlier. Use Keepa and the Amazon listing to confirm the right edition and market context.

✓Check the used condition, current offers, and whether Amazon is actually in stock.
✓Reconsider books priced too low after fees and shipping could erase the profit.

08Watch 18:27–23:13

Verify box contents and pack

Compare the digital list to the physical box before submitting. Every item, quantity, and box assignment should match.

✓Arrange books so they stay still, fill gaps with packing paper, and reinforce the carton if needed.
✓Weigh the finished box and enter the actual weight and dimensions. Do not use an example measurement.

09Watch 23:13–25:17

Print the labels and ship

Print the carrier label and unique FBA box ID label for the specific carton, then place both on a flat outside surface.

✓Keep both barcodes readable and away from seams, edges, and unrelated carton labels.
✓Before drop-off, confirm every book has the right FNSKU and the box contains no unlabeled or unapproved item.

Quick reference

Repeat this routine for the next box.

Prepare books in the Kitchen. Test the printer. Create the FBA batch. Grade and scan. Match each label and pack into Box 1. Review prices and exceptions. Confirm contents, pack, weigh, and measure. Print both carton labels and ship.
